摘要:
A tire includes at least one annular structure configured to interface with a wheel. The tire also includes a circumferential tread disposed in a crown region of the tire and a package having magnetic particles and an erodible medium, disposed within the circumferential tread. The magnetic particles are distributed along a gradient of increasing concentration.

When an electromagnetic generator 10 having a pendulum structure is mounted on an interior surface of a tire 20, an equivalent pendulum length l of a pendulum 14 is adjusted such that an integral multiple of a period λ of the pendulum 14, which is determined by the equivalent pendulum length l of the electromagnetic generator 10, is not in agreement with both of an integral multiple of a circumferential length L of the tire 20 and a length S of a non-grounded part of the tire, which is obtained by subtracting a ground contact length C from the circumferential length L of the tire 20, whereby the power generation capacity of the electromagnetic generator mounted on the tire can be improved regardless of the type of the tire.
摘要:
A method used for determining a profile depth or wear on a tread of a tire of a vehicle, and/or a tire characteristic, a magnetic field being detected by a magnetic field sensor disposed in the interior of the tire, particularly in the area of the tread on the tire interior, or at a distance from the tire, particularly in the area of a wheel housing or a wheel well of the vehicle, the magnetic field being transmitted or changed by at least one indicator element disposed in the tread on the tire exterior. The current wear state of the tread and/or the tire characteristic, particularly a tire type and/or permissible top speed, is determined based on output signals of the magnetic field sensor. The invention further relates to tires.
摘要:
One exemplary embodiment includes a method comprising providing a tire having a component constructed and arranged to cause at least one portion of the tire to have a first stiffness or resistance to force exerted thereon under a first condition and a second stiffness or resistance to force exerted thereon under a second condition and selectively causing the first or second condition to occur.
摘要:
A change of magnetic characteristics of a magnetic circuit constituting body or a composite magnet arranged in a necessary portion of a tire is detected by a magnetic sensor detecting a magnetic field leaked from the magnetic circuit constituting body or a magnetic filed from the composite magnet, while a temperature in the necessary portion of the tire is directly measured or a degree of heat deterioration is directly measured by using a tire temperature sensor or a tire heat deterioration detection sensor constructed so as of change the magnetic characteristics of the magnetic circuit constituting body or the composite magnet dependent on the temperature or the degree of heat deterioration in the necessary portion of the tire, whereby it is possible to attain an early identification of the abnormality on the possibility bringing about the troubles of the tire. Also, there is provided a tire temperature sensor or a tire heat deterioration detection sensor causing no fear of the early battery drain.
摘要:
A safety insert comprising a substantially circumferential base intended to come into contact with an adapted wheel rim, a substantially circumferential body intended to support a tread of a tire mounted on the rim during rolling with a pressure capable of causing at least partial flattening of a portion of the tire, and a housing intended to receive a wheel unit, characterized in that the safety insert comprises an aerial which is rigidly connected to the insert and is disposed inside its volume.

摘要:
A tire for a vehicle wheel includes a toroidal carcass, a tread band, and a first inductive element of an electrical generator. At least one tire bead includes an annular core including a steel strip spirally wound to form at least two radially-superposed layers. The first inductive element includes at least one turn of conducting wire wound around a transverse profile of one of the annular cores. Alternatively, at least one tire bead includes an annular core including a matrix based on an elastomeric or plastomeric material, the matrix incorporating fibers, yarn, or cords, and containing ferromagnetic material in at least one of a powder form or a fibril form. The tire may include at least one electronic circuit operatively coupled to the first inductive element. A system for sensing and signaling one or more parameters associated with the tire and a method for producing the tire are also disclosed.

Tyre, in particular cycle tyre, with a device for generating rotation-dependent signals, a method for producing said tyre and a system for controlling a cycle drive with such a tyre. Tyre, in particular cycle tyre, with a device for generating rotation-dependent signals, in which the device is arranged in the tyre (1, 3) or is connected to the tyre and has a signal-generating element (6, 14), which is held in a retaining element connected positively or non-positively to the tyre body, wherein the receiving element is arranged substantially on the outside of strengthening elements or reinforcing elements of the tyre and the signal-generating element is held in the retaining element in such a way that the signal-generating element forms part of the outer surface of the tyre or protrudes beyond the outer surface of the tyre.
摘要:
A tire having a tread member which has a contact surface made of an elastomer whose viscoelasticity is changed by applying an electric field or a magnetic field, which affords an advantage of enabling control of hysteresis loss near the contact surface of the tread member of the tire.
