  • Publication number: 20240159577
    Abstract: An apparatus for calibrating vehicle sensors comprising a mat and at least one target assembly. The mat is placed in a specified location in relation to a vehicle subject to a calibration process, and the target assembly is placed in relation to the mat. The target assembly comprises adjustable components to control the vertical placement, roll, and pitch of the target with respect to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11972647
    Abstract: A calibration apparatus and method suitable for aligning a primary structure in a test or calibration of a subject sensor of a vehicle. The apparatus and method utilize a wheel structure configured to detachably couple to a wheel of the vehicle. The wheel structure comprises one or more measurement arms configured to extend and measure a placement of the wheel structure with respect to the vehicle. The measurements are used to generate a reference template that a user utilizes visually to position the primary structure in a suitable position and angle with respect to the vehicle for calibration or test.

  • Publication number: 20230168113
    Abstract: A calibration apparatus and method suitable for calibration of an offset sensor of a subject vehicle. The calibration apparatus comprises a reference structure that is placed into a reference locus using image data generated by a camera associated with the reference structure. An offset-target structure is then placed into position by coupling the offset-target structure to the reference structure, the coupling providing an appropriate locus for the offset-target structure during calibration of the offset sensor. The coupling restricts the linear and rotational displacement of the offset-target structure during calibration.

  • Patent number: 4055175
    Abstract: Apparatus is described for controlling blood glucose concentration in a subject by selected infusion of insulin and/or glucose, depending upon the general blood glucose concentration. This apparatus comprises in combination sensor means for measuring the blood glucose concentration and for providing computer input signals based on such measurement, computer means for receiving such input signals and being programmed to provide output signals based upon such input signals, and pump means responsive to such computer output signals to supply insulin and/or glucose to such subject at a rate determined by such output signals. The computer derives the output signals in accordance with specific quadratic and biquadratic equations employing certain independently selected values relating to basal blood glucose concentrations and basal insulin and glucose infusion rates at such basal blood glucose concentrations.
