  • Patent number: 10387292
    Abstract: A system generates screenshots of a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application that is displayed by target devices testing the application. Each screenshot includes an image of the GUI and metadata indicative of elements of the GUI present in the image or a state of the application or target device when the image is generated. The system determines, based on the metadata of a screenshot from a first set of the screenshots and the metadata of a screenshot from a second set of the screenshots, whether the screenshots are similar and if so, the system assigns the screenshot from the second set of screenshots to a cluster that includes the screenshot from the first set of screenshots. The system outputs an indication of the cluster (e.g., a notification or graphical indication) indicative of the similarity or discrepancy between the screenshots.

  • Publication number: 20080041670
    Abstract: An arcuate support for a disk brake caliper is keyed to a tubular axle casing, for example, by way of a woodruff key, to transmit braking torque. The support may slide axially of the axle casing to permit the caliper to accommodate brake pad wear. This construction eliminates the need for a moving component of the brake caliper itself. In the latter case, braking torque may be transmitted via the keyed connections or via a separate torque arm.

  • Publication number: 20080036289
    Abstract: A tubular vehicle axle includes a primary air brake actuator within the axle. A tubular wall of the axle defines a pressure vessel of the primary actuator. The primary actuator has an output axis coincident with a rotary axis of the axle. An auxiliary air actuator can be directly operable on the primary actuator.

  • Patent number: 7229137
    Abstract: A trailer axle assembly includes a non-rotating axle tube that extends laterally between a pair of wheel ends. Each wheel end supports a disc brake assembly that selectively generates a braking force to slow or stop rotation of the wheel ends. The disc brake assemblies include a torque plate that is mounted to the axle tube. The axle tube includes a radial location feature that holds the torque plate fixed relative to the axle tube so that rotational brake torque is transmitted directly through a solid interface. The axle tube also includes an axial location feature that positions the torque plate at a predetermined location along the axle beam and prevents relative axial movement between the axle beam and the torque plate.
