  • Composite antenna for a tire
    Patent number: 7492328
    Abstract: A composite conductor assembly is configured as a core composed of polymeric elastomeric material and a conductive layer in intimate surrounding contact with the core. The polymeric material provides elasticity to the core to enable the core to elongate when subjected to strain forces within a tire. The conductive layer is fabricated from a low impedance material and may be configured as a composite wherein an inner base metal is selected as a strength member and an outer metallic layer is applied to the base for electrical performance enhancement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2009
    Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
    Inventors: James Christopher Kish, Thomas Walter Starinshak, Joseph Carmine Lettieri, Stephen John Babbo
  • Composite antenna for a tire
    Patent number: 7250914
    Abstract: A composite antenna and method for tire monitoring systems is configured as a core composed of polymeric material and a conductive metallic layer in intimate surrounding contact with the core. The polymeric material provides elasticity to the core to enable the core to elongate when subjected to stress forces within a tire. The conductive layer is fabricated from a low impedance material and may be configured as a composite wherein an inner base metal is selected as a strength member and an outer metallic layer is applied to the base for electrical performance enhancement.
