  • Patent number: 11932063
    Abstract: A tire (10) for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown (12) comprising: a tread (20), and a hoop reinforcement (17) comprising at least one hooping ply (19) comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements (44) comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide (47) and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (48). The twist factor K of the hoop reinforcing element (44) ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. The tire (10) is obtained by a method comprising a step of manufacturing the hooping ply (19), in which the bonded reinforcing elements (44) are embedded in a polymer composition in order to form the uncured hooping ply, the equivalent initial tensile modulus of the uncured hooping ply ranging from 330 to 620 cN/tex/dm.

  • Patent number: 6487271
    Abstract: Method of saturation management of a digital radiographic exposure image in which there are one or more saturation areas, acquired notably after a mammogram on an acquisition chain in automatic mode using a low-dose preexposure image. A mask is made from the exposure image by taking the saturation areas into account; the coverage areas corresponding to the saturation areas of the exposure image are determined on the preexposure image by using the the mask; a digital standardization processing of the gray levels of both the exposure image and the preexposure image is then carried out; and the final image is determined from a combination of the two images thus processed.
