Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire comprises a radial carcass of at least one rubberized cord ply, a belt comprised of three rubberized cord layers, an innermost cord layer and a middle cord layer among these cord layers being a cross cord layer that cords of the layers are crossed with each other with respect to an equatorial plane of the tire, and one or more circumferential grooves provided in at least each side region of the tread portion, wherein the cords of each of the innermost cord layer and the middle cord layer have an inclination angle of 10-25° with respect to an equatorial plane of the tire, and cords of an outermost cord layer have an inclination angle of 45-115° with respect to the equatorial plane and the outermost cord layer has a width extending toward an end of the tread portion over an outermost groove edge of an outermost circumferential groove in a widthwise direction of the tread portion.

Abstract: An A/D converter comprises a pipeline stage array in which plural pipeline stages are connected in series, each pipeline stage performing a pipeline operation on an inputted analog voltage to output a digital voltage; a number-of-bits control circuit for outputting a number-of-bits selection signal which indicates whether the operation of each pipeline stage should be carried out or halted, according to a number-of-bits control signal which indicates a resolution; and a correction circuit for compensating a digital value to be output, according to the number-of-bits control signal. Therefore, when resolution of the A/D converter, which is requested by the system, is changed, only the pipeline stages required for realizing the requested resolution are operated while the other pipeline stages are halted, whereby a reduction in power consumption of the A/D converter is realized and, simultaneously, a breakdown of an output from the A/D converter is avoided.

Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic radial tire comprises a radial carcass and a belt superimposed about an outer periphery of the carcass and comprised of at least three rubberized cord layers, cords of two adjacent layers among these layers being crossed with each other at an acute cord angle with respect to an equatorial plane of the tire to form cross cord layers, in which a narrow-width cord layer among the cross cord layers is provided with an end cover rubber having a particular 100% modulus and a space cushion rubber having a particular 100% modulus.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire comprises various tire components each comprised of a rubber-coated layer containing a given number of reinforcing elements. In at least one of these rubber-coated layers, not less than 30% of all reinforcing elements are divided into plural groups each comprised of a combination of m-steps and n-rows viewing in a thickness direction of the rubber-coated layer, in which each of m and n is an integer of 2 or more representing the number of the reinforcing elements, and a distance between mutually adjacent and opposite reinforcing elements not grouped with each other is wider than a distance between mutually adjacent reinforcing elements in the group.

Abstract: A tire component used in a pneumatic radial tire is a rubber-coated layer comprised of a given number of reinforcing elements separately arranged in parallel with each other, in which the reinforcing elements corresponding to at least 30% of all reinforcing elements included in the rubber-coated layer are divided into plural groups, and a distance between mutually adjoining and opposite reinforcing elements not grouped with each other is wider than a distance between mutually adjoining reinforcing elements separately arranged at equal spaces in the group. Thus, the occurrence of cracking at cut ends of the reinforcing elements is prevented to improve the tire durability.
