  • Publication number: 20230191855
    Abstract: A tire monitor includes a sensor generating tire data. The tire monitor is configured to wake in response to a low frequency interrupt signal received from a remote source. Upon waking, the tire monitor scans Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) channels to establish a BLE connection with the remote source. The tire monitor communicates with the remote source over the BLE connection.

  • Patent number: 11099091
    Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring system comprising a tire pressure monitoring device for mounting on an internal surface of a tire and including a pressure sensor for monitoring the fluid pressure in the tire. The system has an RFID tag located on the tire separately from the tire pressure monitoring device. In response to detecting a tire pressure event from monitoring the fluid pressure of said fluid, the tire pressure monitoring device causes the RFID to transmit data, which is received by the tire pressure monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 8154284
    Abstract: An NMR method is presented having enhanced sensitivity on a compound comprising hyperpolarizable nuclei, in particular applying enhanced PHIP. Polarization is thereby transferred from a prepared fluid, which is enriched with symmetric molecules of a particular spin state (e.g. para-hydrogen enriched), directly to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of a compound, without altering the chemical identity of the compound in this process. Spin transfer is achieved using a template having sites of ordered environment, and the fluid and the compound are brought together in the presence of the template. Polarization transfer to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of the compound is thereby easier to perform and can be applied to a broader scope of compounds.

  • Publication number: 20110132538
    Abstract: A method of producing a heat sealable label comprises the steps of: (i) providing a textile substrate which is of synthetic polymeric fibres and which is provided on one of its faces with a heat sealable adhesive, (ii) applying to the other face of the substrate a curable resin system, (iii) effecting cross-linking of said curable resin system, (iv) printing on to said cross-linked resin system a uv curable ink in the form of the desired marking, and (v) effecting uv curing of said ink. The ink incorporates monomer components which during the uv curing of step (iv) covalently bond to the cross-linked resin system.
