Laser Position Measurement. A commercially available position measuring device, Lasernet, was donated by the Namco Controls Corporation. A single narrow-beam laser is continuously swept across the field at a fixed height. A reflector of known geometry on the vehicle reflects the beam back to the device, which reports the initial angle, in the local geographic frame, at which a reflection is detected and the angular width over which the reflection is continuously detected. Knowing the geometry of the reflector, which should be independent of the heading of the aircraft, is sufficient to determine the vehicle's two-dimensional position in the local geographic frame. 1, record 5, English, - position%20measuring%20device

The... stevedoring crane... is generally of nonswing-boom construction... The load is usually carried on the traction wheels and the steering is at the rear, so that the transportation of a load does not adversely affect the traction or the steering of the vehicle. The large driving wheels in front are suited to carry the concentration of tractor and working load, thus providing a maximum of tractive effort for traveling, light or loaded. This type of crane is generally of 5-ton capacity and has a boom, hinged on top of the frame, providing the maximum of reach with a minimum of required headroom. The boom is generally of balanced cantilever girder design, power-operated, and can be raised and lowered by power from the driver's seat. It can also be adjusted-without a load on the hook-to any of a number of positions of reach and height of hook, depending on the character of the load and the overhead conditions in the operating area. 1, record 6, English, - stevedoring%20crane

Vehicle trim height is noted by height sensors. They are used to note changes in the load on the vehicle and allow the suspension to compensate for it, maintaining the ideal body height. In addition to noting load changes within the vehicle and compensating for them, some height sensors are used to inform the suspension module of road ondulations(such as railroad tracks). In addition to vehicle height, the module requires input signals to indicate which part of the vehicle needs a height correction. One sensor, located in the front of the rear axle detects load changes in the luggage compartment and passenger rear seats.

Record number: 11, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La hauteur de suspension est mesurée par les capteurs de hauteur. Ces capteurs permettent de déceler les variations de charge, dont la suspension doit tenir compte pour maintenir la hauteur caractéristique de la carosserie. En plus de mesurer les variations de charge du véhicule et de permettre à la suspension de les compenser, certains capteurs de hauteur informent le module de commande des irrégularités de la route (comme c'est le cas lorsque la voiture traverse un passage à niveau). En plus de la hauteur du véhicule, le module exige d'autres signaux pour lui indiquer quelle partie de la voiture exige une correction de hauteur. Un capteur, situé en avant de l'essieu arrière, mesure les variations de charge dans le coffre et au niveau des sièges arrière. Les deux autres capteurs sont situés au niveau de chaque roue avant, pour mesurer la charge supportée par le siège du conducteur et le siège du passager. 1, record 11, French, - capteur%20de%20hauteur

On peut aussi trouver un capteur de hauteur supplémentaire dans le passage de roue, mesurant la hauteur de la caisse, mais par rapport à la roue cette fois, jouant ainsi le rôle d'un capteur de débattement de caisse. 1, record 11, French, - capteur%20de%20hauteur
