    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for sensing irregular wear of a tire tread. A tire is providing having an innerliner adjacent to a belt package, an undertread adjacent to the belt package opposite the innerliner, and a tread adjacent to the undertread opposite the belt package. The tread includes a plurality of tread elements and a conductive filament disposed laterally within the tread. The conductive filament includes a pair of ends extending radially through the undertread and the belt package to the innerliner and terminates into a corresponding pair of sensor contacts. A sensor adjacent to a radially inward side of the innerliner is also included in the tire, the sensor having a pair of electrical contacts in electrical contact with the sensor contacts.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to programming tire sensors mounted to a tire of a vehicle. An identification tag device (e.g., radio frequency identification (RFID) tag) stores tire information data and/or other data that is unique to a given tire. The identification tag device can be attached to or otherwise contained within a tire-integrated sensor mount configured to support a sensor. The identification tag device transmits tire identification data and/or other data stored by the identification tag device to a sensor when the sensor is attached to or otherwise supported by the tire-integrated sensor mount. The sensor can obtain the tire identification data associated with the tire on which the sensor is mounted, thereby allowing the sensor to associate collected sensor data (e.g., pressure, temperature, etc.) with the tire identification data that is unique to the tire.

    Abstract: A tire with printed sensors includes a pair of bead areas, a tread disposed radially outwardly of the bead areas, and a pair of sidewalls, including an inboard sidewall extending from a first bead area to the tread, and an outboard sidewall extending from a second bead area to the tread. A carcass extends toroidally between each of the bead areas radially inwardly of the tread, and an innerliner is formed on an inside surface of the carcass. A plurality of sensors are printed on the innerliner in a sidewall zone of the inboard sidewall or in a sidewall zone of the outboard sidewall, and are configured to measure deformation in the sidewall zone. The plurality of sensors are daisy-chained to provide a single deformation signal that is based on the measured deformations of the plurality of sensors.

    Abstract: A system is provided for cleaning a drive over reader sensor component. The system includes a drive over reader that in turn includes a housing. At least one sensor component is mounted in a wall of the housing, and a lens of the sensor component is mounted on the wall. The lens is disposed at an angle from about 5 degrees to about 10 degrees relative to a vertical plane of the drive over reader. A fluid nozzle may optionally be mounted to the housing near the lens and oriented at the lens. When employed, the nozzle is fluidly connected to a source of liquid and sprays the lens with the liquid when flow of the liquid is actuated. A method for cleaning a drive over reader sensor component is also provided.

    Abstract: A cobalt-free steel cord-rubber composite article includes, in sequence, a steel cord core, a steel cord coating, and a rubber layer. The steel cord coating contains from about 61 wt % to about 66 wt % copper, from about 3.5 wt % to about 6.5 wt % iron, and a balance of zinc and unavoidable impurities. The rubber layer is formed from a rubber compound including 100 phr of at least one elastomer; sulfur; about 20 phr to about 100 phr of at least one filler; about 2 phr to about 15 phr of zinc oxide; and about 0.5 phr to about 3.0 phr of at least one accelerator, containing no cobalt and no resin.

    Abstract: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire sidewall showing our new design; and,
    FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof.
    In the drawings, the broken lines showing of the tire tread, inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the tire sidewall in FIGS. 1 and 2 depict environmental subject matter and form no part of the claimed design.

    Abstract: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire showing our new design, it being understood that the pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tread;
    FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;
    FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof; the left side elevational view being identical thereto;
    FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view thereof taken along Line 4-4 of FIG. 2;
    FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a tire showing our new design, it being understood that the interior of the tire forms no part of the claim, that the pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tread and that the opposite side view is identical thereto; and,
    FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of a second embodiment, it being understood that an enlarged fragmentary view thereof would be substantially identical to that shown in FIG. 4, with the exception of the inclusion of the sidewall in the claim.
    In the drawings, the broken lines immediately adjacent to the outer edges of the tire shoulder represent boundaries of the claim, and the broken lines depict environmental subject matter only and form no part of the claimed design. The dashed broken lines indicating an enlargement portion of the design form no part of the claimed design.
