    摘要: Disclosed is a tire monitoring device including a pressure sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a wireless communication interface. The pressure sensor is for sensing an internal pressure of a tire of an aircraft wheel. The accelerometer is for sensing an acceleration of the tire monitoring device. The gyroscope is for sensing an angular velocity of the tire monitoring device. The wireless communication interface is for wirelessly communicating a signal based on at least one of a sensed internal pressure sensed by the pressure sensor, a sensed acceleration sensed by the accelerometer, and a sensed angular velocity sensed by the gyroscope.

    摘要: A tire wear state estimation system is disclosed. The system comprises a tire (12, 14, 16, 18) supporting a vehicle (10); a vehicle-based sensor (20) for measuring a plurality of distance intervals travelled by the tire (12, 14, 16, 18) during vehicle operation at different vehicle speeds; a vehicle-based tire revolution counter for counting a tire revolution count within each of the plurality of distance intervals; a vehicle-based speed sensor for determining the vehicle ground speed during the plurality of distance intervals travelled by the tire (12, 14, 16, 18); a slow-speed interval selector operative to select at least one slow-speed distance interval from the plurality of distance intervals operatively based on the vehicle (10) travelling at a ground speed less than a pre-selected threshold level; an effective radius estimator for estimating a slow-speed effective radius of the tire (12, 14, 16, 18) during the at least one slow-speed distance interval from the tire revolution count and the distance travelled by the tire during the at least one slow-speed distance interval; and a tire wear-state estimator operative to estimate a tire wear-state from the estimated slow-speed effective radius of the tire (12, 14, 16, 18) during the at least one slow-speed distance interval.

    摘要: A method of monitoring the pressure of a tyre of an aircraft, the method comprising: taking two or more pressure readings from the tyre at different times; calculating an estimated deflation rate based on the pressure readings; and calculating a time for the tyre to deflate to a reference pressure level based on the estimated deflation rate. Two or more temperature readings are each associated with one of the pressure readings, and the estimated deflation rate is calculated by normalising each pressure reading based on its associated temperature reading and a common reference temperature to obtain a temperature-normalised pressure reading, and calculating the estimated deflation rate based on the temperature-normalised pressure readings. The estimated deflation rate is compared with a threshold, and a warning provided if the estimated deflation rate exceeds the threshold.

    摘要: A MEMS pressure sensor device (200, 400, 500, 600) is provided that can provide both a linear output with regard to external pressure, and a differential capacitance output so as to improve the signal amplitude level. These benefits are provided through use of a rotating proof mass (250, 420, 520) that generates capacitive output (283, 293) from electrodes configured at both ends of the rotating proof mass. Sensor output can then be generated using a difference between the capacitances generated from the ends of the rotating proof mass. An additional benefit of such a configuration is that the differential capacitance output changes in a more linear fashion with respect to external pressure changes than does a capacitive output from traditional MEMS pressure sensors.
