Abstract: A tire differentiating system (21, 121) is employed to differentiate tires (22, 24, 26, 28, 122, 124, 126, 128) in a vehicle (20, 120). Each tire includes a sensor (30, 32, 34, 36, 120, 132, 134, 136) which communicates with a receiver (38, 138). In a first example, when a tire (22, 24, 26, 28) is inflated above a high pressure threshold, a flag bit is stored in the sensor (30, 32, 34, 36) identifying the tire as a rear tire (26, 28). If a rear tire (26, 28) drops below a low pressure threshold, a warning algorithm is initiated to warn the driver. In a second example, the sensor (130, 132, 134, 136) is a transceiver with an RF detector circuit having an identification code. A RF transmitter (144, 146, 148, 150) is located proximate to each of the respective transceivers (130, 132, 134, 136). The receiver (138) sends a signal to each RF transmitter (144, 146, 148, 150) which generates a RF signal that is sent to the transceivers (130, 132, 134, 136). The transceivers (130, 132, 134, 136) then send a return signal including the identification code back to the receiver (138), identifying the tire (122, 124, 126, 128) at the location.

Abstract: A wireless tire inflation pressure measurement device is used to obtain inflation pressure information for a tire of a vehicle and a signal therefrom may be used for determining the location of the tire. An identifier may be associated with the inflation pressure information for each wheel of the vehicle. Tire rotation speed may be determined by amplitude fluctuations of a radio frequency carrier from a radio frequency transmitter rotating with the wheel. Differences in wheel rotation speeds during a turn may be used in determining the location of each tire of the vehicle. An antenna may be placed on each wheel toward the outer perimeter of the wheel and connected to the radio frequency transmitter. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and pressure sensor may be used as the wireless tire inflation pressure measurement device and a RFID pickup coil may be provided in each wheel well for pickup of the inflation pressure signals from each RFID tag on a wheel.

Abstract: A tire condition communication system (10) for a vehicle (12) that has a tire (e.g., 14A). A sensor (e.g., 74), associated with the tire (e.g., 14A), senses at least one tire condition. A memory (e.g., 70), associated with the tire (e.g., 14A), holds an identification. Transmitter components (e.g., 80 and 22), associated with the tire (e.g., 14A) and operatively connected to the sensor (74) and the memory (70), transmit a condition signal (e.g., 24A) that indicates the held identification and the sensed tire condition. A vehicle-based unit (28) receives the transmitted condition signal (e.g., 24A) indicative of the held identification and the sensed tire condition. An identification provision unit (e.g., 42A), located on the vehicle (12) adjacent to the tire (e.g., 14A) and having a location identification, transmits the location identification in response to a request. A communication portion (e.g., 48A) of the tire condition sensor unit (e.g., 18A) communicates a request to the identification provision unit (e.g., 42A) to transmit the location identification. The tire condition sensor unit (e.g., 18A) receives the requested location identification and updates the held identification.

Abstract: A tire pressure indication system for a single or dual wheel tire assembly includes a pair of analog/digital readout pressure gauges and associated valve stems for individually monitoring and pressurizing the tire or tires of the wheel assembly. The tire pressure indication system may be attached to the outside wheel of the dual wheel assembly by a bracket structure mounted to the outside wheel with an adhesive tape or other suitable fastener. The tire pressure indication system provides for a tire pressure indication system that can be easily mounted to the wheel tire assembly without the use of a hubcap or other similar mounting structure.

Abstract: An air pressure gauge assembly mounted to the valve stem of a tire for continuous monitoring of the tire inflation pressure without interfering with the common function of a valve stem, and an air pressure gauge assembly permanently mounted to the rim of a wheel for continuous monitoring of the tire inflation pressure. The valve stem mountable, flow-through air pressure gauge assembly offers the convenience of being mounted to an existing valve stem and still allowing inflation or deflation of the tire therethrough while continuously displaying the air pressure. The air pressure gauge assembly mountable through the wheel rim of an inflatable tire allows the continuous monitoring of the air pressure without interfering with the operation of a tire valve stem and replacement of a tire or a valve stem. Both types of air pressure gauge assemblies are designed to withstand substantial impact and to seal the tire in case the gauge body is accidentally broken off or fractured. Both types of air pressure gauge assemblies include several variations of easy to read dial faces. Furthermore, both types of air pressure gauge assemblies are of compact design and relatively inexpensive, reliable, and of little or no maintenance.

Abstract: A specific ID code of a transmitter 3 is registered in a receiver 4 in the following procedure. A commander 5, which is connected to the receiver 4 with a cable 6, is located close to the corresponding transmitter 3. An operation switch 7 of the commander 5 is then depressed. The commander 5 transmits an instruction signal to the transmitter 3 and the turned-on state of the operation switch 7 is conveyed to the receiver 4 via the cable 6. The transmitter 3 wirelessly transmits a response signal including the ID code in response to the instruction signal. On the other hand, upon receiving the response signal from the transmitter while the commander 5 is conveying the turned-on state of the operation switch 7, the receiver 4 stores the ID code in the received response signal. Therefore, the ID code of each transmitter is easily registered in the receiver 4.
