US Patent 10471947 Determining estimated remaining use of brake assembly by transceiver

In some examples, device is configured to determine an estimated remaining use of a brake assembly. The device includes a transceiver configured to transmit a signal towards a wear pin in the brake assembly at a first time. The transceiver is also configured to receive a reflection of the signal from the wear pin at a second time. The device further includes processing circuitry configured to determine a difference of the first time and the second time. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine the estimated remaining use of the brake assembly based on the difference of the first time and the second time.
