  • Method for improving a system for recognizing tire pressure which is measured in an indirect manner
    Patent number: 7289928
    Abstract: The present device relates to a method of improving a indirect measurement tire pressure detection system. Such systems include a system that detects pressure loss based on wheel speed data. The present method determines reference values dependent upon driving parameters and produces a two-dimensional or multi-dimensional closed range of driving parameters. The closed range of driving parameters uses reference values that are determined to be currently valid.

  • Method for identifying tire characteristics
    Patent number: 7263878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting growth of the dynamic tire circumference (circumferential growth or tire growth), wherein at least one reference value Ref is produced on the basis of wheel speed information, said reference value representing in particular a sidewise and/or crosswise relation of the motor vehicle wheels, and wherein the time variation of the reference value(s) is examined and, further, tire growth is detected on the basis of said variation.

  • Reactor vessel seal and method for temporarily sealing a reactor pressure vessel from the refueling canal
    Patent number: 5706319
    Abstract: A reactor vessel seal for temporarily sealing a reactor pressure vessel from a water-filled refueling canal above the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor vessel seal is installed in place of the removable reactor pressure vessel closure head for inspecting/servicing the reactor vessel. The reactor seal comprises a seal cap having a surface connected to a flange which is complementary to the upper flange of the reactor pressure vessel. A seal is located between the seal cap flange and the upper flange of the reactor pressure vessel. A lifting rig is connected to the seal cap for lifting the seal cap and placing it in position, with the seal cap flange in alignment with the reactor vessel upper flange, such that the seal located between the seal cap flange and the reactor pressure vessel upper flange is compressed by hydrostatic pressure from water in the water-filled refueling canal acting on the surface of the seal cap as water in the reactor pressure vessel is evacuated.
