    Abstract: An assembly determines operating parameters of a tire. The assembly includes a tripod sensor mounted within an inner cavity of the tire underneath a crown portion and an innerliner on which the tripod sensor is mounted. The tripod sensor includes a tri-axial accelerometer for creating a circumferential signal for determining slip ratio, a lateral signal for determining a slip angle, and a radial signal for determining load on the tire.
    Type: Grant

  • TEXTURING OF A REINFORCING CORD FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRE
    Publication number: 20130133804
    Abstract: A method forms an adhesion joint between a cord and a rubber matrix. The method includes the steps of providing a cord having an initial relatively smooth surface, texturing the smooth surface such that the resulting surface is rougher than the initial surface of the cord, and inserting the cord into a rubber matrix such that the resulting surface provides enhanced adhesion to the rubber matrix compared to the adhesion of the initial surface to the rubber matrix.
