  • Publication number: 20240109759
    Abstract: A lift assembly including a lifting structure, a lifting arm, a yoke structure fixed to the lifting structure, a pin pivotally coupling the lifting arm with the yoke structure, and an integrated anti-rotational assembly associated with both the yoke structure and the pin. The lifting structure can actuate relative to the ground between a lowered position and a raised position. The lifting arm is configured to actuate with the lifting structure between the lowered position and the raised position. The integrated anti-rotational assembly can inhibit rotation of the pin relative to the yoke structure about the longitudinal axis of the pin.

  • Patent number: 11912549
    Abstract: A vehicle arm adapter that includes a base member, a platform assembly coupled to the base member, and an adjustable frame retaining assembly coupled with the platform assembly. The base member can selectively couple with a lifting arm of a vehicle lift. The platform assembly includes a vehicle engagement surface. The platform assembly can engage and lift a vehicle in coordination with the vehicle lift. The adjustable frame retaining assembly includes a first retractable assembly and a second retractable assembly that are both capable of actuating between an extend configuration and a retracted configuration. The first and second frame retaining assemblies can cooperate to contain a first subset of vehicle frames in the extended configuration. The first and second frame retaining assemblies are prevented from retaining a second subset of vehicle frames in the retracted configuration.

  • Patent number: 11484363
    Abstract: System for determining a position of a tool-point-of-interest of a tool, relative to an eye-tissue-of-interest, which includes and imager a tool-tracker and a processor. The imager acquires an image of a tissue-reference-marker. The tool-tracker determines information relating to the P&O of the tool in a reference-coordinate-system. The imager and the tool-tracker are in registration with the reference-coordinate-system. The processor determines the position of the tissue-reference-marker in the reference-coordinate-system, according to the acquired image of the tissue-reference-marker. The processor determines the P&O of the eye-tissue-of-interest in the reference-coordinate-system according to at least the position of the tissue-reference-marker and a relative position between the tissue-reference-marker and the eye-tissue-of-interest. The relative position is pre-determined from a stored-3D-model.

  • Publication number: 20220259026
    Abstract: A set of lift controls may be configured to determine the load on the motor (112) by a vehicle of an unknown weight during operation at a standard lift speed and use such information to determine a potential speed that the motor may raise the vehicle at while staying within safe operational levels for the motor. One or more of a magnitude of electrical power drawn, a pressure generating by a hydraulic lifting, or a sensed vehicle weight may be used to provide an indication of load on the motor and/or a higher potential speed.
