Abstract: A method for evaluating endurance of a tyre includes rotating the tyre with respect to a movable surface to generate sound and transducing the sound to a signal using a microphone arrangement and a sampling frequency of at least 44 kHz. Then it is determined from the signal whether an endurance of the tyre has been exceeded. A device is for performing the method of evaluating endurance of a tyre. A computer program generates a second signal indicative of an endurance of a tyre having been exceeded based on a signal transduced from the sound. A method teaches a data-driven model for determining from a signal an endurance of a tyre.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mounting a radiating antenna element used especially in the manufacture of small-sized radio devices and a radio device with a radiator mounted by the method. A thin thermoplastic plate coated with a metal foil is used in the manufacture of the antenna. A radiator pattern is formed in the metal foil. The antenna component obtained is placed (401) on the surface of some plastic part of the radio device, preferably on the inner surface of the thermoplastic cover of the radio device. The plastic layer of the antenna component becomes positioned against said plastic part, and the component is fastened (402, 403) by fusing together the mating plastic materials, which are against each other. In the complete antenna, the radiator is electrically connected to the other parts of the radio device by means of contacts.

Abstract: A radiating antenna element intended for small-sized radio devices and a method for manufacturing the same. The element (300) is manufactured of a plate comprising a dielectric substrate coated with conductive material on one side. The radiating conductor branches corresponding to the operating bands of the antenna are formed on the plate by removing the conductive coating by laser narrowly from the border line of the area (330) between the designed conductor branches. The conductor area confined by the created border groove can be used as a parasitic additional radiator. If needed, the conductor area confined by the border groove (331) can also be split into a number of small conductor areas (CA1, CA2), in order to make sure that the conductor area does not radiate or have any substantial effect on the coupling between the radiating conductor branches.

Abstract: Internal planar antenna especially applicable to mobile communication devices. A PIFA-type planar antenna is fed coaxially-like. This means that the feed conductor (321) of a radiating plane (310) is surrounded by a shield conductor (322) galvanically connected to the ground plane (GND) for the length between these planes. The shield conductor at the same time serves as a short circuit conductor for the antenna. The antenna is matched by means of a matching slot (317) going between the connection points of the feed and short circuit conductors, and/or of the shape of the short circuit conductor. A feed arrangement at issue increases antenna gain without increasing the SAR value of the antenna.
