Patent number: 10850577Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a passive transponder incorporated therein that allows communication with a radio-frequency reader located outside the pneumatic tire. The passive transponder includes at least one radiating antenna and is embedded in an electrically insulating elastomeric blend to form a patch. The patch extends axially between an axially inner end of a carcass ply of the pneumatic tire and an inner surface of the pneumatic tire. The patch also extends radially at a distance between a bead toe of the pneumatic tire and a radially outer end of a bead core of the pneumatic tire.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Compagnie Generale des Etablissements MichelinInventors: Philippe Lallement, Julien Destraves, Frédéric Marques, Michel Blondelet, Johan Desmoulin

Patent number: 10119876Abstract: A rubber patch, which is useable for mounting an active electronic component to a tire, is described. The rubber patch includes a base having a connecting face and support face. The connecting face is substantially planar and is intended to be fixed to an internal surface of the tire. The support face is opposite the connecting face and is arranged to support the active electronic component. The rubber patch further includes a passive label arranged between the connecting face and the support face. The passive label is for identifying the tire and is provided with a memory for storing a unique identification data item pertaining to the tire. A corresponding tire monitoring system, which is configured to read at least the identification data item pertaining to the tire, also is described.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Compagnie Generale des Etablissements MichelinInventors: Frédéric Marques, Denis Lhospitalier

Patent number: 9927314Abstract: A pressure sensor includes an encapsulant housing an electronic member. The electronic member includes a proof body, which has two opposite sides facing away from each other. On a first side of the proof body is a reference-pressure chamber. On a second side of the proof body facing away from the first side is a pressure-to-be-measured chamber in communication with outside of the encapsulant. Delimited between the electronic member and the encapsulant is a housing for gel. An orifice enables the housing for gel to be in communication with outside of the encapsulant.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Egil Dammen, Endre Korsvold, Frédéric Marques, Mark Leman
