  • Patent number: 9387726
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an airless tire, and includes first and second bands that face each other with a distance interposed therebetween, a plurality of spokes that connect the first band to the second band and are provided at intervals, and first and second connecting members that connect the adjacent spokes. The spoke includes a first member of which one end is curved from the first band toward the second band, and a second member of which one end is curved from the second band toward the first band. The other ends of the first and second members are connected to each other, and the first and second members are curved in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 9333799
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a non-pneumatic tire with a reinforcing member. The non-pneumatic tire includes a tread part which comes into contact with the ground, a rim part which is coupled to an axle, an outer annular band part which forms an interface with an inner surface of the tread part, an inner annular band part which forms an interface with the rim part, a spoke part which is disposed between the outer annular band part and the inner annular band part and functions as a support, a connector which connects spokes of the spoke part to each other, and a reinforcing member which has a plate wire structure. The non-pneumatic tire can effectively and sufficiently withstand the weight of a vehicle. Further, the performance of the tire is balanced with respect to the contact area, the displacement extent and the resistance to rolling.

  • Patent number: 9290053
    Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire for a vehicle is disclosed. The non-pneumatic tire includes a tread, a rim part, inside and outside annular bands, a spoke member, and a pair of protective films. The tread comes into contact with a road surface. The rim part is connected to the axle of a vehicle. The inside and outside annular bands are disposed between the tread and the rim part, and are coaxially spaced apart from each other. The spoke member includes supports disposed in a predetermined pattern and configured to connect the inside and outside annular bands, and openings defined by the supports. The pair of protective films are disposed at both ends of the tire in the widthwise direction of the tire, and prevents foreign substances from infiltrating into the openings of the spoke member. The protective films are made of the same material as the spoke member and integrated with the spoke member.

  • Patent number: 5898879
    Abstract: A bus master (other than the CPU) sends a signal to a bus controller requesting use of the bus. After receiving the bus-use request signal from the bus master, the bus controller sends a hold signal to the CPU to separate the CPU from the bus. The CPU then outputs a hold response signal in response to the hold signal. Upon receiving the hold response signal from the CPU, the bus controller sends a signal to the bus master requesting use of the bus indicating that that bus master can use the bus. The bus controller also sends a signal to a clock signal generator, which lowers the clock speed below a certain threshold or switches it into a stop clock state. Once the bus controller senses that the bus master is finished using the bus, the bus controller stops the above-mentioned signal sent to the bus master indicating that the bus master can use the bus.
