Abstract: A tyre has a piezoelectric flexing element associated with an energy storage device (e.g., a capacitor). The piezoelectric flexure element is mounted in cantilever fashion in a housing so as to be positioned substantially along a plane orthogonal to a radial direction of the tyre and, so that a first end of the piezoelement is restrained by the housing. A loading mass is coupled to the second end of the piezoelectric flexure 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 piezo-electric element. The housing including the piezoelectric is mounted in a tyre portion in correspondence of a tread area of the tyre, preferably on the inner surface of the tyre. The piezoelectric element flexes under the action of the radial acceleration when the tyre rotates. The loading mass and the gap are chosen to obtain a) small entity oscillations of the flexure element substantially during a complete revolution of the tyre when the tyre rotates at low speed; b) large entity oscillations of the flexure element substantially only during the passage of the tyre portion including the piezoelectric element in the contact patch. Sufficient electrical power for powering an electronic device included within the tyre is obtained, together with a long durability of the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: A pneumatic tyre includes a sensor device for monitoring one or more dynamic parameters of the tyre and a detecting device. The sensor device is disposed in a crown portion of the tyre and includes an inertial switch. The inertial switch changes from a first state to a second state when the crown portion begins contacting a ground surface and changes from the second state to the first state when the crown portion loses contact with the ground surface. The detecting device is operatively connected to the inertial switch and determines the one or more dynamic parameters of the tyre from a signal obtained from the changes of the inertial switch. A method for monitoring the one or more dynamic parameters includes providing the tyre with the sensor device disposed in the crown portion, rotating the tyre on the ground surface, and determining the one or more dynamic parameters.

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 method of control to determine the comfort level of a tire of a wheel for a vehicle is based on a dynamic tire model with a rigid ring having concentrated parameters that represent construction characteristics of the tire. Some concentrated parameters are measured, others are determined by parametric identification through a test of passing over an obstacle of the tire. From testing eight curves of natural frequencies and dampenings are obtained that are compared with as many calculated curves obtained from the model. By checking the coincidence between the eight calculated curves and the eight experimental curves, the values of the other concentrated parameters are determined that cause the calculated frequencies and dampenings to coincide with the experimental ones. The values of the concentrated parameters obtained in this way are compared with ranges of values of dampenings and stiffness corresponding to pre-established indices of comfort, so as to approve those tires wherein the concentrated parameters fall within predetermined intervals.
