  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVE TIRE PERFORMANCE MONITORING
    Publication number: 20190382034
    Abstract: An exemplary method for monitoring tire performance includes the steps of providing a wheel assembly comprising a tire and a tire characteristic sensor, providing a vehicle sensor configured to measure a vehicle characteristic, providing a controller in electronic communication with the tire characteristic sensor and the vehicle sensor, receiving, by the controller, tire characteristic data from the tire characteristic sensor and vehicle characteristic data from the vehicle sensor, determining, by the controller, whether a first condition is satisfied, if the first condition is satisfied, monitoring, by the controller, the tire characteristic data, determining, by the controller, an acceleration of the tire from the tire characteristic data, determining, by the controller, whether a second condition is satisfied, and if the second condition is satisfied, generating, by the controller, a control signal.

  • Transponder detector for an RFID system generating a progression of detection signals
    Patent number: 8319612
    Abstract: A transponder detector is provided with capabilities for detecting the presence and type of a transponder in its read range while operating at low power. The transponder detector includes an antenna assembly and a detection signal generator circuit coupled to the antenna assembly. The detection signal generator circuit is capable of generating a progression of detection signals on the antenna assembly across a range of frequencies. The transponder detector further includes a response signal receiver circuit coupled to the antenna assembly to receive a progression of response signals from the antenna assembly resulting from the progression of detection signals. A controller is coupled to the response signal receiver circuit which determines the presence and type of the transponder based on an evaluation of a transponder detection parameter in the progression of response signals.
