20130106596 | UNIVERSAL TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM TOOL AND METHODS | 05-02-2013 |
20130145834 | UNIVERSAL TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM TOOL AND ABSOLUTE PRESSURE COMPENSATION - An improved hand-held tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) tool for communicating and transferring data between the tool and an onboard vehicle TPMS. The improved tool includes absolute air pressure and temperature compensation components and processes which improve the accuracy of service on a vehicle tire equipped with TPMS sensors and diagnosing TPMS error codes generated by the vehicle TPMS. | 06-13-2013 |
20140129076 | HIGH VOLUME VEHICLE INSPECTION SYSTEM AND METHODS - An inspection system for use in measuring several vehicle conditions in a high volume vehicle inspection line. A plurality of sensors are installed on a vehicle for measuring a plurality of vehicle conditions to assist in the rapid evaluation of critical vehicle conditions or parameters. At least one tool is positioned along a vehicle path in a monitoring station. As the vehicle passes through the monitoring station, the tool received electronic data from the plurality of sensors and displays one or more signals to alert an inspector of acceptable or unacceptable vehicle conditions. In one example, the plurality of sensors includes tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) data from the vehicle tires to rapidly assess the condition of the tire air pressure and other monitored tire conditions. | 05-08-2014 |
