    摘要: A method and device for identifying pressure sensors of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) of a motor vehicle. The method includes emission of a sensor activation signal, receiving of signals from at least two different sensors following activation, attenuation and amplification of the signals received, determination of a value indicative of the power of the signals received, and identification of the spatial position of at least one sensor on the basis of values indicative of the power of the signal received. A device configured as a TPMS tool is used for implementing the method.

    摘要: A disclosed vehicle component may include at least one split-ring resonator, which may be embedded within a material. The split ring resonator may be formed from a three-dimensional (3D) monolithic carbonaceous growth and may detect an electromagnetic ping emitted from a user device. The split ring resonator may generate an electromagnetic return signal in response to the electromagnetic ping. The electromagnetic return signal may indicate a state of the material in a position proximate to a respective split ring resonator. In some aspects, the split-ring resonator may resonate at a first frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the material is in a first state, and may resonate at a second frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the material is in a second state. A resonant frequency of the 3D monolithic carbonaceous growth may be based on physical characteristics of the material.
