Abstract:
An optical scanning system for measuring and/or controlling a vehicle and/or parts of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is arranged on a support surface. The optical scanning system comprises two optical reader apparatuses, which are arranged on said support surface, on opposite sides of the vehicle, and are provided with respective optical image capturing devices configured to provide respective data/signals encoding one or more images of the vehicle, an electronic system, which is designed to process the data/signals in order to construct one or more three-dimensional images of the vehicle. The optical image reader apparatuses each comprise a calibration target, which lies on an approximately horizontal support surface and is arranged immediately adjacent to the optical image capturing device of the relative optical image reader apparatus at a predetermined distance from it.
Abstract:
An air conditioning recharging machine includes a pair of flexible hoses connected to the air-conditioning system and a recharging assembly to supply a refrigerant fluid to the air-conditioning system through the flexible hoses. The machine has a discharging assembly to discharge the refrigerant fluid from the air-conditioning system and a valve distributor body, which is provided with a series of inlets/outlets hydraulically connected to the flexible hoses, to the recharging assembly and to the discharging assembly. The valve distributor body is in the form of a monobloc made of rigid material which is provided with straight inner through-ducts, each of which extends in the monobloc so as to have the two axial ends which are arranged on two respective faces of said monobloc opposite one to the other, and are each closed by a respective solenoid valve coupled to the face itself.
Abstract:
A multi-function portable optoelectronic apparatus to determine the profile of a brake disk and the profile of the tread of a tyre comprising an optoelectronic assembly for emitting a laminar beam of light along an optical emission axis so as to project onto the brake disk or onto the tread a luminous line and acquire an image containing the projected luminous line, a tubular case which can be gripped by hand, which contains optoelectronic assembly and is designed to be arranged resting on the brake disk during determination of the profile of the brake disk and an angular adapter member designed to be coupled in a stable but easily removable manner to the case and shaped to be arranged resting on the tread during determination of the profile of the tread; an electronic system configured to receive the image and determine the profile of the brake disk or the profile of the tread on the basis of the luminous line contained in the image.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Method to determine a deterioration state of a brake disk of a braking system of a vehicle. The method comprises the steps of: emitting, by means of a light emitting head, a beam of light towards a face of the brake disk so as to trace on the face at least one light line, and determine a deterioration state of the brake disk on the basis of the traced light line.
Abstract:
An equipment for a remote control of fire extinguishers (10) and/or hydrants, comprising a valve group (16), equipped with a manometer and a pressure switch, which is able to control the operating pressure of the known fire extinguishers (10) and/or hydrants, wherein a plurality of micro-switches (18, 19, 20), connected with a wireless transmitter (21), send the received signals to a remote central control unit (22), that is fully programmable locally or remotely and able to send alarms and/or warnings, depending on the programming carried out, to operators, persons in charge and/or maintainers of fire extinguishers (10) and/or hydrants.
Abstract:
A control method and system to control a pair of electric motors driving a vehicle. The steps provided for are: determining, in a control cycle N and by means of a first processing core, for a first electric motor, a first electric current target based on a first torque or speed target; determining, in the control cycle N and by means of a second processing core, for a second electric motor, a second electric current target based on a second torque or speed target; controlling, in the control cycle N and by means of the first processing core, a first electronic power converter connected to the first electric motor so as to pursue the first electric current target; and controlling, in the control cycle N and by means of the second processing core, a second electronic power converter connected to the second electric motor so as to pursue the second electric current target.
Abstract:
A vehicle measuring apparatus wherein an electronic control system is able to automatically calibrate two main image acquisition devices. The vehicle measuring apparatus comprises a base unit comprising a target, a support bar that is horizontal and arranged suspended above the base unit, two auxiliary image acquisition devices that are mounted on the support bar so as to capture target images containing the target of the base unit, and an electronic control system that determines the poses of the main image acquisition devices based on the target images and automatically calibrates the same based on the poses determined.
Abstract:
Described is a method for drafting and displaying electrical circuits based on libraries containing items or speech codes corresponding to the various types of electrical components, the items are made up of alphanumeric codes through which it is possible to unequivocally identify each single electrical component and the method comprises the steps of viewing on a PC screen a control unit of the electrical circuit in the middle of a work area, viewing on the PC screen further electrical components, connected directly or indirectly to the control unit, around the above-mentioned control unit, grouping the views according to a level structure, where each level represents a component or device and contains a structure of sub-levels, setting and grouping a plurality of components or devices which have to be highlighted with respect to others, through graphic animations on the PC screen.
