First Claim
Patent Images
1. An integrated wireless data system for measuring operational characteristics of a wheel hub assembly in a vehicle, comprising:
- a remote unit having at least one sensor and a remote transceiver and an A/D converter and a microprocessor for measuring operational data of the wheel hub assembly;
said remote unit including a power source connected to and providing power to said remote unit;
a base unit having a base transceiver and a microprocessor connected to and in communication with a data acquisition system; and
said remote unit and base unit wirelessly communicating with one another to exchange the operational data in real-time and bi-directionally.
