US Patent:
7295297, Nov 13, 2007
Filed:
May 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/857781
Inventors:
Leigh R. Burns - Troy IL, US
Daniel R. Dorrance - Ballwin MO, US
Mark S. Shylanski - St. Louis MO, US
Thomas J. Golab - St. Peters MO, US
David A. Voeller - St. Louis MO, US

Assignee:
Hunter Engineering Company - Bridgeton MO
International Classification:
G01B 11/275
G01C 1/04
G01C 1/04
US Classification:
35613909, 356155
Abstract:
An improved image sensing wheel alignment system for calculating vehicle wheel alignments having a detector array for receiving an input image containing vehicle wheel alignment information. An image sensor controller controls the detector array to receive the input image during an acquisition period, the image sensor controller examining signals from the image detecting elements individually at a plurality of times during the acquisition period to determine exposure levels for image detecting elements. An output image from the image detecting elements at the end of the acquisition period contains wheel alignment information for use in calculating vehicle wheel alignments.
Method For Rolling Compensation With Wheel-Mounted Sensors
US Patent:
7974806, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Sep 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/556376
Inventors:
Leigh R. Burns - Troy IL, US
Michael T. Stieff - Wentzville MO, US
James W. McClenahan - St. Louis MO, US
Michael T. Stieff - Wentzville MO, US
James W. McClenahan - St. Louis MO, US
Assignee:
Hunter Engineering Company - Bridgeton MO
International Classification:
G01M 1/38
US Classification:
702105
Abstract:
A method for compensating axial misalignment between wheel-mounted alignment sensors and an axis of rotation for an associated wheel. The method compensates sensors mounted to each wheel of a vehicle simultaneously, without requiring jacking of the vehicle wheels above a supporting surface, and which only requires wheel rotational movement over an arc of 60 degrees or less. The method utilizes measurements of a change in a wheel toe angle and measurements of a change in a wheel camber angle, during a measured rotational movement of the wheel, to identify sinusoidal variation in the respective toe and camber angles during the wheel's rotational movement, from which a measure of axial misalignment between the wheel-mounted alignment sensor axis of rotation and the wheel axis of rotation is identified.
Integrated Circuit Image Sensor For Wheel Alignment Systems
US Patent:
2003002, Feb 6, 2003
Filed:
Sep 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/260952
Inventors:
Leigh Burns - Troy IL, US
International Classification:
G01C001/00
G01B011/26
G01B011/26
US Classification:
356/139090
Abstract:
An improved image sensor for computer systems that use images to calculate vehicle wheel alignments which includes an integrated circuit having a detector array for receiving an image containing vehicle wheel alignment information, an image sensor controller for operating the detector array and directing input/output for external communications outside the circuit, and an internal bus for communications within the integrated circuit. The sensor communicates wheel alignment information contained in the image with the computer system across an interface bus.
