  • Publication number: 20220291087
    Abstract: A tire testing apparatus performs the test by rotating a tire while the tire is in contact with a drum. A plurality of sensors are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the drum and are arranged side by side along a widthwise direction of the drum, thereby measuring the ground contact forces at the ground contact position with the tire. A calculation unit obtains, based on the ground contact forces measured by the sensors, a displacement amount Dy of the ground contact position in the widthwise direction and a change amount ?Fy of the ground contact force Fy in the widthwise direction which corresponds to the displacement amount Dy, thereby calculating the lateral stiffness sharing rate Ky rib on the basis of the displacement amount Dy and the change amount ?Fy.

  • Patent number: 5181042
    Abstract: A planar microstrip array antenna with a beam tilt, which comprises a plurality of pairs of circularly polarized wave radiating elements, the orientation angles of the two radiating elements in each pair being different by a predetermined angle within the plane of the planar antenna. The antenna further comprises a feed line for supplying electric power to the radiating elements. The feed line is provided with a plurality of pairs of terminal feeding portions which diverge corresponding individually to the pairs of circularly polarized wave radiating elements. The paired feeding portions are equal in electrical length. Since the respective orientation angles of the paired radiating elements are different, a phase difference is produced between the radiating elements, thus providing a beam tilt. Since no phase shift portion for producing a phase difference is formed between the paired terminal feeding portions, the configuration of the feed line is simple.
