  • Patent number: 7313952
    Abstract: A method for monitoring instantaneous behavior of a tire in a rolling condition includes acquiring and storing at least one reference curve representing an acceleration profile of at least one specified point of the tire as a function of its position during at least one portion of a revolution of the tire; continuously acquiring signals of acceleration of the at least one point; deriving from the signals of acceleration at least one cyclic curve of acceleration of the at least one point; comparing the at least one cyclic curve with the at least one reference curve; and emitting a signal depending on the comparison that indicates the instantaneous behavior of the tire. The at least one reference curve represents the acceleration profile in at least two directions, including two or more of a centripetal direction, a tangential direction, and a lateral direction. A related system and tire are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20060090835
    Abstract: A method for installing a device in a tyre for measuring at least one characteristic parameter of the tyre includes applying the device to a specified area of an inner surface of the tyre, fitting the tyre on a rim, and rotating the tyre. Applying the device includes interpositioning a fixing element between the device and the inner surface of the tyre. The fixing element includes a crosslinkable elastomeric material capable of adhering in a repositionable way to the inner surface of the tyre. Rotating the tyre adapts a shape of the fixing element to the inner surface of the tyre and causes a crosslinking of the crosslinkable elastomeric material. A kit for installing a device for measuring at least one characteristic parameter of a tyre onto an inner surface of the tyre includes the device and at least one fixing element comprising a crosslinkable elastomeric material.
