Abstract: A safety system for large and long over-the-road vehicles, such as a tractor semitrailer rig, having wheels mounted remotely from the vehicle's cab. A conventional airborne sound receiving microphone is mounted within a mechanical vibration damping housing at the bottom of the vehicle body near and aimed at the remote wheels to receive sounds from that area of the vehicle. The mounting and housing are constructed to prevent or greatly lessen mechanical vibration and sounds from reaching the microphone through the vehicle body. A communication cable runs from the microphone and housing to the cab and is connected through an amplifier to a speaker provided inside the cab. While the vehicle is being driven, the speaker reproduces a significant portion of the airborne sound received by the microphone within the cab. The system produces as background noise in the cab the sounds from the rear wheel area of the vehicle and allows the driver to note and react to changes in such noise as may result from a flat tire or other problem.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for monitoring tire pressure for motor vehicles, or the like, in which coded sound signals emitted from a wheel-mounted sound signal generator are detected and processed. The coded signal from the generator serves to distinguish the sound signal from background noise. The output of the generator is comprised of at least two coherent frequencies that beat acoustically with one another to produce an amplitude modulated sound signal that is then detected by a transducer which converts the sound signals into the electrical signals. The electrical signals are then fed through the processing circuitry including a detector which extracts the modulation envelope and applies it to an audio band-pass filter. The filter accepts the envelope within a predetermined frequency range, eliminating all signals which are not within the designed band pass. A second detector converts the audio signal to a DC level and feeds it to a threshold comparator. The level of the DC signal is directly proportional to the percentage of modulation of the originally received signal. If this level exceeds the threshold value of the comparator, the output actuates a bistable device, which, in turn, actuates a warning indicator.The rate of loss of tire pressure may also be determined by means of a signal generator adapted to emit at least two time-spaced sound signals at different pressures. The two signals are detected and processing circuitry calculates the time and/or pressure remaining before the vehicle becomes immobile. This information is displayed to the operator.

Abstract: A device for indicating when the air within a tire is above or below an optimum pressure range, comprising a housing having a bore therein in which a piston is movable. The piston is spring biased toward one end of the bore and is normally held in a medial sealing position by air pressure from within the tire. In such sealing position, a sealing ring on the piston engages a sealing section of the bore to prevent movement of air along the bore; when the air pressure exceeds or falls below the optimum range, the sealing ring moves over a relieved portion of the bore and allows air to move along the latter to actuate a whistle carried by the piston. An electronic device senses the whistle and signals the operator.

Abstract: Ultrasonic transmitting elements in an electroacoustical transceiver transmit acoustic energy to an electroacoustical transponder, which includes ultrasonic receiving elements to convert the acoustic energy into electrical power for the purposes of powering one or more sensors that are electrically coupled to the electroacoustical transponder. The electroacoustical transponder transmits data collected by the sensor(s) back to the electroacoustical transceiver wirelessly, such as through impedance modulation or electromagnetic waves. A feedback control loop can be used to adjust system parameters so that the electroacoustical transponder operates at an impedance minimum. An implementation of the system can be used to collect data in a vehicle, such as the tire air pressure.

Abstract: A pressure-responsive signalling valve for use on pneumatic tires is adapted to generate a highly efficient acoustical signal whenever the pressure within the tire falls outside of a predetermined range. The emitted signal is detected by means of an acoustical receiver which, in turn, is coupled to an alarm typically in the form of a warning light or audio device conveniently located within the vehicle to alert the driver. The acoustical valve employs a rolling or flat seal disc diaphragm and a flat sealing arrangement providing a positive sealing action, minimal friction, low hysteresis and extremely precise pressure response characteristics.

Abstract: An instantaneous/real-time wireless dynamic tire pressure sensor (DTPS) for characterizing pavement qualities and for detecting surface and subsurface pavement defects under normal driving conditions. Signal processing provides quantitative assessment of surface conditions. DTPS includes a vehicle tire valve stem-mounted pressure sensor and wheel hub-mounted signal conditioning, amplification, and transmitting circuitry. A signal processing computer within the vehicle is wirelessly coupled to the hub-mounted circuitry. Tire pressure changes caused by ground vibration excitation from the interaction between the tire and pavement at normal driving speeds are detected. When acoustic radiation from a surface wave is significantly stronger than acoustic noise, subsurface information can be extracted. An energy harvester based on strong magnetostatic coupling between a high permeability core solenoid, fixed proximate a vehicle wheel, and a bias magnet array, fixedly mounted in conjunction with a dust shield, can provide power the DIPS.
