Abstract: A method for ascertaining the deformation of a tire comprises: fastening a sensor to the tire so as to generate an accelerometric signal in the direction normal to the crown; acquiring (201) a temporal wheel-turn signal SigTDR (101) comprising the amplitude of the acceleration while rolling; determining a reference speed Wreference (202) associated with a portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR; normalizing (203) the portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR by a variable which is a function F proportional to the square of Wreference; angularly resampling (204) the portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR; defining an energy density S (205) from the angularly resampled normalized wheel-turn signal SigTdR using a threshold A; and identifying the deformation of the tire Def % (206) as a function G of the energy density S.

Abstract: A system for detecting a presence of liquid inside a wheel that includes a power source, an electric circuit and an indication means, and a tire pressure valve that includes a stem, a first electrode and a second electrode, an isolation part between the electrodes, and a pressure valve mechanism. The tire pressure valve is fixed to the rim of the wheel in such a way that upper parts of the electrodes are positioned outside the rim and lower parts of the electrodes are positioned inside the wheel and immersed inside liquid inside the tire when the tire pressure valve faces the ground. The upper parts of the electrodes are connected to the power source, and to the electric circuit that outputs a signal when liquid presence between the electrodes and the indication means indicates when the electric circuit outputs such signal.
