  • Patent number: 12474718
    Abstract: An apparatus for scanning an undercarriage of a vehicle including a rover for moving back and forth under the vehicle. At least one processor generates control signals to control movement of the rover and to control capture of a video of the undercarriage of the vehicle. A drive system responsive to the control signals from the processor moves the rover back and forth under the vehicle. A camera captures a video and images of the undercarriage of the vehicle as the rover moves under the vehicle in a first direction. The at least one processor is further configured to process the video to generate a single image of the undercarriage of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12189433
    Abstract: A self-contained printing system includes a weatherproof housing defining an interior for containing the self-contained printing system components. A printer located within the weatherproof housing prints documents responsive to a print command. The printer is powered by a battery located within the weatherproof housing. A charging system charges the battery located within the weatherproof housing responsive a charging signal. At least one solar panel located on an exterior of the weatherproof housing provides the charging signal. Wireless communications circuitry enables the receipt of the print commands from an external device located outside of the weatherproof housing via a wireless communications link and communications with at least one remote server via the wireless communications link. A system processor monitors wireless communications link and generates status messages responsive thereto. At least one display located on the exterior of the weatherproof housing displays the status messages.
