Abstract: A wiring component includes an array of multiple wires, at least one connector which engages the wires, and at least two layers of a hardened fiber and a filler compound that sandwiches the wires. The areas adjacent to the wires include a filler which immobilizes the wires relative to the layers. In one embodiment at least a portion of the connector is embedded in the filler.
Abstract: A wheel sensor which is primarily located outside of a pneumatic tire includes a sensor for sensing one or more conditions within the pneumatic tire of a wheel and a connector configured to secure the sensor to the wheel rim; wherein the connector establishes a link between the medium inside the tire and the sensor; and includes a valve which seals when the sensor is removed from the rim and opens when the sensor is attached to the rim.
