Publication number: 20210016614Abstract: A pneumatic tire with a radio frequency identification and tire pressure monitoring system sensor combination includes a pneumatic tire. The tire includes a pair of bead areas, a ground-contacting tread disposed radially outwardly of the pair of bead areas, a pair of sidewalls, in which each sidewall extends from a respective bead area to the tread, a carcass extending toroidally between each of the bead areas radially inwardly of the tread, and an innerliner formed on an inside surface of the carcass. An integrated RFID and TPMS sensor is mounted on the innerliner and includes an RFID tag. The RFID tag includes an integrated circuit carried on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is formed with at least one opening to facilitate secure mounting of the circuit board to the innerliner. The integrated RFID and TMPS sensor also includes a TPMS sensor mounted on the RFID tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: John Michael Fenkanyn, Mario Vincent Orosa

Patent number: 9183423Abstract: A drive over stand for a TAG reader has a lead-on ramped surface and an exit-off ramped surface aligned and operative to intercept and engage the vehicle tire as the vehicle tire traverses over the upper surface of the stand. One or more pockets are disposed within the stand base, each receiving an antenna assembly. The antenna assembly is positioned within the pocket of the base, seated at a tilt angle operative to direct a read field toward a vehicle approach path to the stand.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Joseph Paul Batcho, Sr., John Michael Fenkanyn, Amrita Patel, Mario Vincent Orosa

Patent number: 9135479Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a stand having a convex outer surface positioned to intercept and engage a vehicle tire as the vehicle tire passes over the convex stand surface. The height and contour of the convex stand surface slows the rotational rate of the vehicle tire, and thereby a transmitting device carried by the tire, to a preferred rotational read rate as the vehicle tire passes over the convex surface. One or more antenna members mount to the stand proximal to the convex surface, each antenna having a directionally aimed tilted antenna field positioned to continuously receive data transmission from the electronic transmitting device as the vehicle tire passes over the convex stand surface at the reduced rotational read rate.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2009Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Robert Leon Benedict, Joseph Carmine Lettieri, John Michael Fenkanyn, Mario Vincent Orosa, Richard Nicholas Crano, Joseph Paul Batcho, Sr.

Patent number: 8963688Abstract: A product management system and method for reading electronic identification tags from a vertical stack of tires. Each tire has an electronic identification tag secured at a position to operative to electronically transmit data to an antenna element positioned internally within a toroidal opening of each tire in the stack. An elongate read wand is positioned in a substantially vertical orientation within the aligned toroidal openings of the tires. The antenna element is carried by the read wand and is thus positioned by the read wand to receive an electronic transmission from each electronic identification tag in the aligned tire stack. The read wand may be ceiling-mounted, floor mounted, or hand held.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: John Michael Fenkanyn, Joseph Paul Batcho, Sr., Mario Vincent Orosa, Jennifer Kaye Flowers

Publication number: 20110148593Abstract: A method of reading a data transmission from an electronic transmitting device mounted to a vehicle tire assembly includes: positioning a convex upper surface of a stand to intercept a vehicle tire of the vehicle tire assembly; establishing rotational engagement between the vehicle tire and the convex upper surface of the stand to slow the speed of the vehicle and reduce the rotational rate at which the vehicle tire rotates to a targeted reduced rotational read rate; and directing an antenna field from at least one antenna toward an approach path (and at least one antenna toward the exiting path) of the vehicle tire to the convex upper surface and lower surface of the stand to receive data transmission from the electronic transmitting device as the vehicle tire passes over the stand upper surface then down the lower surface at the reduced rotational read rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Inventors: Robert Leon Benedict, Joseph Carmine Lettieri, John Michael Fenkanyn, Mario Vincent Orosa, Richard Nicholas Crano, Joseph Paul Batcho, SR.

Publication number: 20090322480Abstract: An electronic tag for a vehicle includes an antenna; a data transmitter coupled to the antenna; and an elastomeric coating layer encapsulating the transmitter and antenna. The tag may attach to the vehicle by means of a tire or otherwise affixed to the body of the vehicle. The antenna may be configured as a dipole accessible by an external signal from substantially a 360 degree sphere surrounding the tag package. An adhesive material layer may be included to encapsulate the elastomeric material coated transmitter and antenna and utilized to attach the tag to a vehicle component.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Robert Leon Benedict, Mario Vincent Orosa, John Michael Fenkanyn, Joseph Alan Incavo
