Abstract: A near-field communication-based tire pressure monitoring system, a sensor, a tire, and a vehicle. The tire pressure monitoring system comprises a server (101), a terminal (102) supporting near-field communication, and a tire pressure monitoring sensor (103) supporting near-field communication. The terminal (102) obtains from the server (101) update information for updating the tire pressure monitoring sensor (103), and then the update information is transmitted to the tire pressure monitoring sensor (103) by establishing a near-field communication connection between the terminal (102) and the server (101), so that the tire pressure monitoring sensor (103) realizes information reconfiguration or programming process. The terminal (102) is connected to the tire pressure monitoring sensor (103) by means of near-field communication, and compared with wireless communication, the near-field communication avoids the interference of irrelevant signals, guaranteeing the normal communication process.

Abstract: A TPM system wheel unit measures rotational period over a number of wheel revolutions, calculates a value of a period of the revolutions and wirelessly transmits the calculated value of the period to a tire pressure monitoring system receiver in the vehicle mounting the wheel. Alternatively, each wheel unit transmits an RF burst of a predetermined length and a received RF burst envelope modulated with a periodic modulation pattern is used to calculate the period of one wheel rotation for each wheel. A central vehicle electronic control unit monitors wheel speed signals for each wheel of the vehicle and calculates a period for the wheel speed signal for each wheel of the vehicle, bounded by a rolling window which may be of variable length. The calculated values are compared and the wheel unit and the wheel location are correlated therefrom.

Abstract: Methods for detecting and correcting data errors in an RF data link include identifying valid data frames and corrupted data frames by measuring a data corruption level for each transmitted data frame, comparing the measured data corruption level for each corrupted data frame to a data corruption threshold, reconstructing the corrupted data frames having a data corruption level below the data corruption threshold, reconstructing the data block using data from valid and reconstructed data frames, and/or verifying the data in the reconstructed data block.

Abstract: A simple, relatively inexpensive, non-contacting, full-field (total visible surface) measurement and visualization methodology is described to measure the object motions and the object stretches and object distortions (deformations) during oscillation of an object. The method is capable of full-field measurement of 1D, 2D and/or 3D object motions and the associated object surface deformations on vibrating objects. The methodology is based on a combination of stroboscopic image ascuisition and/or controlled image exposure time with a synchronization system to acquire the images at appropriate times during periodic oscillation of an object; the periodicity of the applied excitation is used to mitigate the requirement for high speed imaging. Then, image matching procedures, such as 3D digital image correlation, are used with software to extract full-field object motions and surface deformations at each time of interest.
