Abstract: A system and method for placing reference locators on a streaming video image taken from a camera mounted on a vehicle. Sensors monitoring the camera field of view and direction of the optical axis along with sensors monitoring the vehicle's position are used to generate a video overlay having various indicia. The calculated positions of the indicia may be compared to the position of landmarks taken from the video image to compensate for any inaccuracies in the calculated position taken from the various sensors.

Abstract: A customizable nest plate for securely positioning a device to be nested. An alignment device may be used to position nest pins within one version of the nest plate. In another version, several tugboat stop blocks may be adjusted and secured against a nest plate having many threaded apertures in order to secure the device to be nested. In addition, adjustable ramps may be used to adjust the height of a device to be nested above the surface of the nest plate.

Abstract: The inventive fixture adapter has installed RF connectors which are connected to the fixture during the installation of the adapter in the fixture. Thus, wear on the RF connectors from opening and closing the drawer mechanism of the fixture is eliminated. The adapter is removably connected to the drawer mechanism of the fixture, and thus can quickly and reliably be changed for a different adapter. All of the customization required for a particular device can be confined to the adapter, and thus the rest of the fixture can be made generic.

Abstract: The inventive vibration isolation platform is connected between a fixture which supports a device to be tested, and an automatic testing machine. The platform has two positions. In the first position, the fixture is ridgedly locked in a predetermined location for loading and unloading of the device. In the second position, the fixture is in a testing position, wherein the fixture is vibrationally isolated from the testing machine. Therefore, during loading and unloading, the location of the fixture is precisely known to the automatic testing machine. During testing, the fixture is isolated from the automatic testing machine, and hence receives substantially no vibrational energy from the automatic testing machine. Thus, the device can be tested without interference from unwanted vibrations or sounds.

Abstract: The inventive button pushing mechanism allows pneumatic force to be translated actuate a button on a cellular telephone that is being tested by an automatic testing machine. The mechanism includes an actuating shaft that transmits pneumatic force to a spur gear which rotationally translates the force to actuate the button. The spur gear is also connected to a weighted counter balance shaft which opposes movement of the actuating shaft, such that when the pneumatic force is turned off, the counter balance shaft retracts the mechanism back to an initial state. The uses of gravity provides a constant and known force to oppose the pneumatic force.
