  • Patent number: 9754138
    Abstract: A system is provided for dynamically reading data from a tire transponder that includes a linear-polarization antenna. The system includes one ore more system antennas and one or more readers. Each system antenna is able to receive data transmitted by the tire transponder. Each reader is able to couple to the one or more antennas to read and store the data from the tire transponder. Each system antenna is a linear-polarization antenna with a vertical electric field.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9679174
    Abstract: A system is provided for dynamically reading data from transponders of tires disposed laterally on a same side of a vehicle. The system includes antennas, a sensor for each antenna, a reader, a controllable switch, and a programmable logic controller. The antennas are arranged to receive data transmitted by the transponders. Each sensor is positioned upstream of an effective reading area covered by a corresponding one of the antennas, and each sensor transmits a signal associated with passage of a tire. The reader is arranged to couple to the antennas in order to read and store data from the transponders. The switch is positioned between the antennas and the reader to provide a selective coupling between the reader and each of the antennas. The controller controls the switch as a function of wheel-passage sensor signals.

  • Publication number: 20140367026
    Abstract: A kit, which is usable for temporary attachment of an electronic device to a support of a tyre casing, includes: an attachment member and a separation element. The attachment member includes an adhesive mass for attaching the electronic device to the support. The separation element, which separates the adhesive mass from the support, is able to adhere to the adhesive mass. An adhesion between the adhesive mass and the separation element exceeds an adhesion between the adhesive mass and the support as a function of a variation of at least one parameter of the adhesive mass.
