  • Patent number: 10919348
    Abstract: A tire includes an RFID locator. The tire includes a pair of bead areas and a ground-contacting tread disposed radially outwardly of the pair of bead areas. Each sidewall of a pair of sidewalls extends from a respective bead area to the tread. A carcass extends toroidally between each of the bead areas radially inwardly of the tread and an innerliner is formed on an inside surface of the carcass. An RFID tag is attached to the tire at an area of a selected one of the sidewalls through interior sidewall attachment. A locator indicia is integrated into an axial outer surface of the selected sidewall at a locator area.

  • Patent number: 7295103
    Abstract: An integrated tire monitoring system for an agricultural vehicle control system comprises at lease one sensor integrally coupled to at least one tire on a farm vehicle; an external reader for obtaining tire revolution speed data from the sensor during each revolution of the tire; input means for delivering the tire revolution speed data to a vehicle control unit, the vehicle control unit calculating vehicle speed based on the inputted tire revolution speed data and outputting at least one control signal. The reader may input tire pressure data from the sensor into the vehicle control unit for the calculation of pressure adjusted vehicle speed. The sensor may store tire specific identification data accessible by the external reader and one or more control signals from the vehicle ECU may be used to control speed between a plurality of vehicle wheels; engine speed; wheel slippage; and/or tire air pressure.
