Patent number: 10266126Abstract: An imaging device enclosure for a vehicle including a housing having an image device aperture. A motor is disposed in the housing and is operably connected with a mobile wedge. The mobile wedge is operable between an extended position and a retracted position. An imaging device is slidably connected with the mobile wedge and is movable between the retracted position corresponding to the extended position of the mobile wedge and the extended position corresponding to the retracted position. A flexible boot is disposed over the image device aperture. The flexible boot defines a flexible opening. The imaging device protrudes through the flexible opening when the imaging device is in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: GENTEX CORPORATIONInventors: Danny L. Suman, Luke W. Koops, William L. Tonar, Danny L. Minikey, Jr., Kristopher R. Green, Timothy L. Pawlowski

Patent number: 9380190Abstract: A lens cleaning device having a housing. A cylindrical lens is disposed inside the housing and defines an inner cavity. An imager is disposed in the cavity. A gear assembly operably couples the cylindrical lens with a motor. The motor is operational to rotate the gear assembly and consequently the cylindrical lens.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: GENTEX CORPORATIONInventor: Timothy L. Pawlowski

Patent number: 8899761Abstract: A vibratory assembly having a housing. A transducer is operably coupled with the housing and has a substantially cylindrical shape. An isolator is at least partially disposed between the housing and the transducer. A lens cover is operably coupled with the transducer. A power source includes contacts operably coupled with the transducer. The power source supplies power to the transducer at various frequencies swept around a resonance harmonic to account for mass changes resulting from debris accumulation on the lens cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Gentex CorporationInventors: William L. Tonar, Henry A. Luten, George A. Neuman, David J. Cammenga, Luke W. Koops, Danny L. Minikey, Jr., Kristopher R. Green, Timothy L. Pawlowski, Sandra Lynn Suman
