Abstract: A belt monitoring system employs a belt having at least one reinforcement member made from a conductive reinforcement material. A belt monitor is disposed in conjunction with the belt. The belt monitor comprises a field inductor excited by an applied signal. An electrical characteristic of at least a portion of the field inductor as influenced by changes in the electrical properties of the conductive reinforcement member is monitored in order to determine a physical condition of the conductive reinforcement member and thereby monitor a physical characteristic of the belt. This monitoring may be carried out by a sense inductor disposed adjacent or in conjunction with the field inductor.

Abstract: Provided is a method for attaching a tire pressure sensor to a vehicle tire, where an adhesive region is exposed on a tire pressure sensor, and the tire pressure sensor is attached to a tire. The adhesive region is made of a first and second adhesive, where the first adhesive has a short cure time, and the second adhesive has a cure time longer than that of said first adhesive, and an adhesive strength greater than that of said first adhesive. Also provided is an adhesive system for a tire pressure sensor, where an adhesion surface on the tire pressure sensor is made of an outer perimeter and an inner region. The first adhesive has a short cure time, while the second adhesive has a long cure time and an adhesive strength greater than that of the first adhesive. Also provided is a tire sensor that can be mounted to a vehicle wheel, where the tire sensor includes a housing, including an adhesion surface, with adhesive material disposed upon the adhesion surface.
