Abstract: An additive cartridge for dispersing an additive within a filter housing is provided. The additive cartridge includes an additive cartridge housing having a peripheral wall, the additive cartridge housing defining first interior area and a second interior area being divided by a first wall. A first unidirectional fluid path is disposed adjacent the second end, the first fluid path defining a flow path from the second interior area. A first biasing member being made from a shape-memory alloy disposed in the second interior area adjacent the first end, the shape memory alloy moving between a first position and a second position in response to a change in temperature. A first piston member is movably disposed within the second interior area and coupled to the first biasing member, the first piston member defining a dispensing chamber within the second interior area.

Abstract: A composite cable is disclosed suitable for use as a reinforcement in an aircraft tire. The cable is formed of an aramid yarn and a nylon yarn cabled together, wherein the aramid yarn has a linear density in the range of about 220 to about 3300 dtex, and the nylon yarn has a linear density in the range of about 220 to about 2100 dtex.

Abstract: A pneumatic rubber tire containing at least one electrically conductive cord extending between its bead and tread portions to provide a path of least electrical resistance. The electrically conductive cord is comprised of at least one electrically conductive metal filament spirally wound around a centrally disposed core of at least one organic fiber. The electrically conductive cord does not extend to, and is exclusive of, an outer surface of the tire.

Abstract: A light weight cable bead core 30 is described having an inner core 33 made of a metal wire 34 with an outer sheath 35 of steel cord wires 36. Each cord 36 is made of a plurality of filaments 37. The bead core 30 is particularly suited for heavy-duty service conditions in tires 100 for aircraft, off-road equipment, and commercial trucks.
