Computer-Implemented Speech Recognition System Training

View page
US Patent:
6556971, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Sep 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/653989
Inventors:
Stephen Rigsby - Conway AR
Donald L. Walchuk - Conway AR
Assignee:
Snap-On Technologies, Inc. - Lincolnshire IL
International Classification:
G10L 2106
US Classification:
704270, 704275, 33286
Abstract:
Computer-implemented speech recognition system training including displaying an icon representing a concept, prompting a user to generate a vocalization comprising any sound determined by the user to associate to the icon, confirming association of the vocalization with the icon, and saving the association of the vocalization with the icon to a computer readable medium. The invention has particular applicability, but is not limited, to the field of vehicle diagnostics including vehicle wheel alignment or vehicle engine diagnostics.

Self-Calibrating, Multi-Camera Machine Vision Measuring System

View page
US Patent:
6931340, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
Jun 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/162554
Inventors:
David A. Jackson - Los Gatos CA, US
Michael J. Robb - San Jose CA, US
Donald L. Walchuk - Conway AR, US
Assignee:
Snap-On Incorporated - Pleasant Prairie WI
International Classification:
G01C017/38
US Classification:
702 94, 3320318, 356620, 356135, 35613909
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for calibrating machine vision measuring systems that have more than one camera are disclosed. A first calibration target is mounted in a fixed relationship to a first camera of the machine vision measuring system. A third camera mounted in a fixed relationship to a second camera of the machine vision measuring system. Second and third calibration targets are mounted in a fixed relationship to one another and viewable by the first camera and by the third camera. A data processor is programmed to compute calibration of the first camera and the second camera, based on a position of the second calibration target relative to the third calibration target and based on a position of the first camera with respect to the third camera. The apparatus and method provide a way to continuously measure the positions of two or more cameras used in the measuring system, and to use such measurements to calibrate the system. If the cameras move with respect to each other, their respective positions are calculated and used in subsequent measurements.

Compensation For Undesired Angle Deviations Arising During Vehicle Wheel Alignment Operations

View page
US Patent:
58754180, Feb 23, 1999
Filed:
Jun 4, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/868741
Inventors:
George Michael Gill - Vilonia AR
Patrick Brendan O'Mahony - Cork, IE
Donald Walchuk - Conway AR
Assignee:
Snap-On Technologies, INC. - Lincolnshire IL
International Classification:
G01B 524
G01B 730
US Classification:
702150
Abstract:
Undesired deviations in wheel angle measurements caused by compression forces inherent in alignment operations are corrected. A vehicle wheel is placed in a particular orientation both before and after an alignment procedure, and respective angle measurements are taken each time. Any difference in these angle measurements must be the result of an undesired deviation. Such deviation quantities may then be monitored by an operator or compensated during subsequent angle measurements by a computer alignment system.

Target Marking For Secure Logo Validation Process

US Patent:
20150010228, Jan 8, 2015
Filed:
Jul 2, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/322673
Inventors:
- Kenosha WI, US
Donald L. WALCHUK - Conway AR, US
Robert J. D'AGOSTINO - Conway AR, US
International Classification:
G01B 11/275
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382141
Abstract:
The instant application describes a method for acquiring via a vehicle wheel alignment system an image of a target including a validation logo, the validation logo being used for recognition by the vehicle wheel alignment system and determination of authenticity of the validation logo by the vehicle wheel alignment system; identifying the validation logo within the image of the target; comparing the identified validation logo with a reference validation logo; computing a similarity metric based on a result of a comparison between the identified validation logo and the reference validation logo; and based on the computed similarity metric, enabling or disabling the vehicle wheel alignment system.
