  • Patent number: 11065923
    Abstract: A wheel unit for a system for transmitting data from the wheel unit to a receiver of a vehicle. The wheel unit is configured for mounting to a wheel of the vehicle, and the wheel unit includes the following: a memory for storing wheel type data related to the type of the wheel at which the wheel unit is mounted; a processor for processing the wheel type data stored in the memory; a transmitter for RF-transmitting data telegrams to a vehicle-mounted receiver. The processor determines an RF power value based on the stored wheel type data, and the transmitter transmits the data telegrams with an RF power based on the determined RF power value.

  • Patent number: 7277360
    Abstract: An elastic assembly joined to at least one side face of one of the members to be assembled is engaged by elastic deformation with a ratchet fastening element fixedly connected to the other member to be assembled. These elastic assemblies are constituted by an elongated element. The assembly side face to which it is joined has an elongated receptacle for the reception thereof, this forming in the assembly side face a opening through which a side portion of its wall projects to lie within the trajectory of the ratchet fastening element so as to allow coupling of this ratchet fastening element, at least one of the faces of the latter being configured to hold the elongated element under elastic strain and being orientated to resolve the force exerted upon it into a component which tends to hold the assembled members in place.
