  • Patent number: 10707959
    Abstract: A system for locating an asset can include a first light fixture disposed in a volume of space and having a first transceiver, a first light source, and a first modulation circuit, where the first light source emits a first light output that defines a first line of sight, where the first modulation circuit generates and sends a first VLC signal that is part of the first light output, where a first light fixture location of the first light fixture in the volume of space is previously determined using the first transceiver during an auto-commissioning process. The system can also include a communication device associated with the asset, where the asset is disposed in the volume of space, where the communication device includes a second transceiver, where the second transceiver receives the first VLC signal from the first transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20180057052
    Abstract: A trailer angle measurement assembly that measures an angle of a trailer relative to a tractor includes a mounting base, an armature, a roller wheel and a rotary encoder. The mounting base is configured to be selectively coupled to the trailer. The armature is rotatable coupled to the mounting base around a pivot. The roller wheel is rotatably coupled to the armature and is positioned for rotatable engagement with the trailer. The rotary encoder measures rotation of the roller wheel and generates a signal based on the measured rotation indicative of an angular position of the trailer relative to the tractor.
