  • Patent number: 9873172
    Abstract: An automated pallet checker system for checking the structural integrity of a pallet includes a conveyor arrangement mounted on a framework and operable to convey the pallet to be checked through an in-feed station and a lift station connected to the in-feed station. The in-feed station is configured to check the pallet for a presence or absence of pallet bottom cross boards as the pallet is carried on the conveyor arrangement. The lift station is also configured to check for obstructions depending from the pallet bottom cross boards, and missing material in leading and trailing edges of the pallet top cross boards during a lifting movement of the pallet in the lift station. A controller is operatively connected to the conveyor arrangement, the in-feed station and the lift station, and is responsive to signals generated in the in-feed station and the lift station to determine whether the pallet being checked in the in-feed station and the lift station is acceptable or unacceptable.

  • Publication number: 20170334355
    Abstract: A system for enhancing driver situation awareness and environment perception around a transportation vehicle. The system incorporates a plurality of object detecting sensors. The sensors are arranged for monitoring at least one critical zone around the vehicle. A plurality of addressable light-emitting diodes are operatively associated with the object detecting sensors. The addressable light-emitting diodes are located on the vehicle for visual display to the driver. When a given sensor detects an object in the critical zone, a detection signal is transmitted to a LED controller. Upon receiving the detection signal, the LED controller transmits a control signal to selectively activate only those addressable light-emitting diodes which are associated with the given sensor, such that the activated light-emitting diodes visually communicate to the driver a location of the detected object in the critical zone.
