  • Patent number: 9415643
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus and method for configuring a tire sensor system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method begins with rotating a plurality of tires on a vehicle. The tire sensor associated with a first wheel location generates a data transmission in response to the rotation of the plurality of tires, the data transmission comprising at least a unique sensor identification and a motion value. The controller transmits a brake control device control signal in a first predetermined event sequence to a first brake control device associated with the first wheel location. The controller receives the tire characteristic signal and assigns the unique sensor identification with the first wheel location in response to determining the motion value of the tire characteristic signal corresponds with the first predetermined event sequence.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7421902
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a circuit carrier for mounting components of a pressure sensing circuit, circuit carrier formed thereby, an apparatus for housing a pressure sensor circuit carrier to form a pressure sensing apparatus and a pressure sensing system using the pressure sensing apparatus and a coupler for coupling the pressure sensing apparatus to a pressurized system. A housing has provisions for aligning and urging a circuit carrier to sealingly position a pressure sensor adjacent an opening in a wall extending through of housing. The wall defines a pressure sensing chamber operable to cooperate with a pressure coupler having a profile that sealingly engages the wall.
