The at least one first sensor includes one or more first elongated piezoelectric elements which extend along at least a first portion of the tire. The at least one first sensor supplies a first signal to the processing means. The first signal is generated by rotation of the tire and is generated cyclically with each revolution of the tire. The processing means detects variations in time intervals between distinctive elements of the first signal. A tire including the system, a kit for detecting behaviour of a tire moving with respect to a contact surface, a method for monitoring events correlated with interactions between tires of a moving vehicle and a contact surface, and related systems, tires, methods, and vehicles are also disclosed.

Abstract: In a vulcanization mold (2) for vehicle tires the rubber blend deposits are cleaned off by the action of one or more laser beams (9) supplied in the form of short-duration and high-energy pulses, which beams cause separation of the rubber blend by effect of the shock wave generated by them and hitting the operating surfaces of the mold (2). Each laser beam (9) is guided by a scanning unit (21a, 21b) mounted on a rotating column (16) for distributing the beam action over the whole circumferential extension of the mold.

Abstract: A tire includes a flexible piezoelectric element associated with an energy storage device (e.g. a capacitor). The flexible piezoelectric element is mounted in cantilever-beam fashion within a housing so that a first end thereof is fixed to the housing. A loading mass is associated with the second end of the flexible piezoelectric element. A small gap is formed between the inner walls of the housing and the outer surface of the loading mass in order to allow limited flexure of the piezoelectric element. The housing, including the piezoelectric element, is mounted in a crown portion of the tire, preferably on the inner surface of the tire. The piezoelectric element flexes under the action of the longitudinal acceleration when the tire rotates. Sufficient electrical power for powering an electronic device included within the tire is obtained, together with a long durability of the piezoelectric element.
