  • Publication number: 20240088919
    Abstract: In a compression mode in which plaintext data is input, and compressed, a first code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the plaintext data, and compressed. A circuit generates restored plaintext data in which the compressed data is decompressed, for confirming successfulness. A second code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the restored plaintext data and is compared with the first code. In a case where the first code and the second code agree, the compressed data and the first or second code are output. In a decompression mode, plaintext data is generated in which the input compressed data is decompressed. A third code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the plaintext data and is compared with an input code, and when the input code and the third code agree, the plaintext data is output.

  • Publication number: 20090025849
    Abstract: There is proposed a tire realizing the simplification of a bead portion structure without sacrificing a bead portion durability and a steering stability. A tire comprises a carcass toroidally extending between a pair of bead cores embedded in respective bead portions, in which the carcass is combined with the bead core through such a pathway that the carcass passes inside a thickness center of the bead portion in an axial direction of the tire and reaches to a face of the bead core inside the tire and then passes through the bead core from an inside of the tire toward an outside thereof and terminates in contact with a face of the bead core at a side of a bead base.

  • Patent number: 6651715
    Abstract: In a pneumatic radial tire for trucks and buses mounted on an approved 15° drop center rim, an outer surface portion of a composite side-rubber and/or an envelope surface of the bead core among members constituting the bead portion of the tire has a curved shape concavedly directed toward the outside of the tire at a region opposite to an inner curved surface of a slantly rising portion in a flange of the approved rim.

  • Publication number: 20020079038
    Abstract: In a pneumatic radial tire for tuck and bus mounted on 15° center drop rim, an outer surface portion of a composite side-rubber and/or an envelope surface of the bead core among members constituting the bead portion of the tire has a curved shape concavedly directing toward the outside of the tire at a region opposite to an inner curved surface of a slantly rising portion in a flange of an approved rim, whereby the durability of the bead portion and the steering stability of the tire are considerably improved.

  • Patent number: 4762158
    Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic radial tire includes a carcass consisting of at least one layer of metal cords substantially radially arranged, a breaker consisting of at least two layers of metal cords to form a main reinforcement with the carcass, and bead portions including hard and soft stiffeners. The carcass has a particular radial profile having a ratio of radii R/R' determined by a radius R' of a standard circle and a radius R determined by a particular definition and has a maximum distance f between an arc of the standard circle and the remaining carcass line smoothly extending from the profile curvature of the shoulder. Moreover a radial profile over a radially inner zone of the sidewall of 20-45% of the radial height SH has a curvature 1/.rho. less than 6.times.10.sup.-3 mm.sup.-1 at a location 32.5% of the radial height corresponding to a center of the profile.

  • Patent number: 4700764
    Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic radial tire for use in airplanes and the like is disclosed, which comprises a toroidal radial carcass, a belt superimposed about a crown region of the carcass and composed of at least three cord layers, and a bead portion reinforcement consisting of a stiffener composed of a hard rubber stock and a soft rubber stock, a main chafer made from aromatic polyamide fiber cords, and an auxiliary chafer of at least two cord layers covering the outside of said main chafer and at least one cord layer arranged along the inside of the turnup portion as an inner cord layer, and having such a triangular truss structure that cords of at least two cord layers are arranged at inclination angles of 65.degree..about.90.degree. and 35.degree..about.55.degree. with respect to the meridional plane of the tire, respectively, and cords of the remaining cord layer are arranged at an inclination angle of -50.degree..about.70.degree. with respect to the meridional plane.

  • Patent number: 4669519
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire is adapted to improve or reduce the rolling resistance and simultaneously to improve the steering stability and riding comfortability against vibration during running without adversely affecting the wet performance and durability by making higher the carcass maximum width position and the carcass curvature reverse position, or enlarging the curvature of the carcass in the radially outer zone of the carcass maximum width position and simultaneously the carcass curvature reverse extent in the radially inner zone of the sidewalls so as to intentionally deviate from the naturally equilibrated configuration.A method of manufacturing a reduced rolling resistance pneumatic radial tire uses a mold for vulcanizing and forming the tire therein, which mold has a particular shape of cavity having a foot width 20-50% wider than a rim width and diverging progressively from shoulder corresponding portions to the wider foot portion of the cavity.
