20090166468METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SKIN MAPPING OF LIGHTNING DETECTION SYSTEM - A lightning strike to an aircraft causes problems in existing aircraft equipment. To offset the problem, weather equipment can be used, but the weather equipment is prone to noise interference with existing aircraft equipment. By effectively positioning the weather equipment, the present invention solves the noise interference problem. In particular, the process detects an environment event, using weather equipment, on the subject aircraft. Next, the system identifies an origination point of noise, resulting from the detected environment event, in internal aircraft equipment. After identifying the origination point of the noise, the system makes a measurement to determine if the noise is interfering with a signal of the internal aircraft equipment. If interference exists, an operator cancels the noise and adjusts the location of the weather equipment in an external surface of the subject aircraft in such a manner as to provide an interference free environment for the internal aircraft equipment.07-02-2009

20080249681Diagnostic tool with advanced diagnostic capabilities - A diagnostic tool for a vehicle, includes a signal translator communicating with the vehicle in at least one protocol, an input unit for inputting information, a processor controlling a software according to the input information and communication with the vehicle, the processor controlling a recording of diagnostic data of the vehicle through the signal translator, a memory storing a software including a database controlled by the processor, the memory storing baseline data of the vehicle and recorded diagnostic data in the database, the processor comparing the stored baseline data and recorded diagnostic data, and a display unit displaying information according to the comparison between the stored baseline data and recorded diagnostic data. The comparison can also be made on a separate computer storing the baseline data and receiving the recorded data from the diagnostic tool.10-09-2008
20080269975Method of flash programming scan tools and pass thru devices over wireless communications - A diagnostic tool and method are provided wherein the diagnostic tool includes a wireless communication circuit to retrieve diagnostic software from a remote computing device. When operated, the scan tool can determine if the loaded diagnostic software is appropriate for the vehicle under test. If not, the diagnostic tool can retrieve the appropriate diagnostic software from the remote computing device. The retrieved or second diagnostic software is then operated to reprogram the diagnostic tool to remove the previously loaded software and allow a user to service a vehicle.10-30-2008
20080270075User configurable scan tool - A diagnostic tool for a vehicle, includes a signal translator communicating with the vehicle in at least one protocol, an input device for inputting information, a processor controlling a software according to the input information from the input device and communication with the vehicle from the signal translator, the processor controlling a reception of diagnostic data of the vehicle through the signal translator, the processor receiving a selected information of a user and configuration of the diagnostic tool through the input device and correlating the configuration information with the user information, the processor processing the received diagnostic data according to the selected configuration information corresponding to the selected user by the input unit, a memory storing a software controlled by the processor, the memory storing the configuration information according to the corresponding user information, and a display unit receiving and displaying diagnostic information according to the selected stored configuration information according to the user.10-30-2008
20090112397Method of updating and configuring a scan tool - A software and method for updating a scan tool with limited memory are provided. An available diagnostic software database is located remotely from the scan tool. The diagnostic software database is vastly larger than the available memory on the scan tool. The technician can access the database and download the software modules he needs based on the vehicle or vehicles he is servicing and the available scan tool memory.04-30-2009
20110015823DIAGNOSTIC TOOL WITH ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES - A diagnostic tool for a vehicle, includes a signal translator communicating with the vehicle in at least one protocol, an input unit for inputting information, a processor controlling a software according to the input information and communication with the vehicle, the processor controlling a recording of diagnostic data of the vehicle through the signal translator, a memory storing a software including a database controlled by the processor, the memory storing baseline data of the vehicle and recorded diagnostic data in the database, the processor comparing the stored baseline data and recorded diagnostic data, and a display unit displaying information according to the comparison between the stored baseline data and recorded diagnostic data. The comparison can also be made on a separate computer storing the baseline data and receiving the recorded data from the diagnostic tool.01-20-2011
