20090260743 | TIRE MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE UNIFORMITY OF A TIRE - A tire manufacturing method includes a method for optimizing the uniformity of a tire by reducing the green tire radial runout. The green tire radial runout is modeled as a vector sum of each of the vectors representing contributions arising from the tire building steps. A set of vector coefficients is generated from the vector equation. The building steps include building the tire carcass, building the tire summit, transferring the summit onto the inflate carcass, and measuring the radial runout and tooling angles at each step in the process. After the model is built the vector equations and coefficients are applied to subsequent tires. By adjusting the tooling angles, green tire radial runout can be optimized. | 10-22-2009 |
20110114251 | TIRE MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE UNIFORMITY OF A TIRE - A tire manufacturing method includes a method for optimizing the uniformity of a tire by reducing the after cure radial force variation. The after cure radial force variation vector is modeled as a vector sum of each of the vectors representing contributions arising from the tire building steps—the “tire room effect vector” and a vector representing contributions arising from the vulcanization and uniformity measurement steps—the “curing room effect vector.” In further detail, both the tire room and curing room effect vectors can be further decomposed into sub-vectors representing each radial force variation contribution for which a measurable indicator is available. For a series of tires, the method obtains such measurements as the before cure radial runout (RRO) at one or more stages of the building sequence, measurements of loading angles on the tire building equipment, and measurements made during vulcanization process. | 05-19-2011 |

20130253686 | METHOD FOR PREDICTION AND CONTROL OF TIRE UNIFORMITY PARAMETERS FROM CROWN THICKNESS VARIATION - Improved and more easily implemented methods for predicting uniformity parameters such as uneven mass distribution, radial run out and high speed radial force variation utilize other measurements such as the tire crown thickness variation. When high speed radial force variation is calculated, low speed radial force variation is also measured. Tire crown thickness variation can be measured in different fashions depending on the particular tire manufacturing process employed. By electronically determining resultant uniformity parameters, tires can be improved by rectification to address the uniformity levels. In addition, tire manufacturing can be improved by altering the resultant location of tire crown thickness variation relative to other aspects of the tire and/or tire manufacturing process. | 09-26-2013 |

20150300921 | EFFICIENT HIGH SPEED UNIFORMITY MEASUREMENTS USING SPEED RAMPS - Methods and systems for improving the uniformity of a tire by determining one or more high speed uniformity parameters of the tire are provided. The high speed uniformity parameters can be determined by continuously acquiring uniformity data while ramping the tire to and from high speeds. For instance, measured uniformity data can be continuously collected for the tire as the tire is increased to high rotational speeds and decreased from high rotational speeds. The measured uniformity data can then be analyzed to determine one or more high speed uniformity parameters for the tire. For instance, the measured uniformity data can be corrected for non-high speed uniformity contributions to the uniformity measurements, such as contributions resulting from non-uniformity of a road wheel use to load the tire during uniformity testing, contributions resulting from mass unbalance of the tire, and contributions from low speed uniformity parameters of the tire. | 10-22-2015 |
20150377742 | TIRE UNIFORMITY IMPROVEMENT USING ESTIMATES BASED ON CONVOLUTION/DECONVOLUTION - Systems and methods for improving the uniformity of a tire using convolution/deconvolution-based uniformity parameter estimates of a tire are provided.

The one or more models can represent an estimated radial uniformity parameter at a discrete measurement point as a weighted sum of the measured radial uniformity parameter at the discrete measurement point and one or more selected measurement points proximate the discrete measurement point. The measurement points can be selected based on the contact patch length of the tire. | 12-31-2015 |

20100212914 | Hydraulic Installation Method and Apparatus for Installing a Submersible Pump - Aspects of this invention include a method for deploying a small diameter submersible pump in a deviated wellbore. The submersible pump is first lowered into the production tubing under the influence of gravity. The pump includes a sealing member deployed thereabout which provides a releasable seal with an interior surface of the production tubing. The pump is then forced deeper into the production tubing (e.g., into a deviated section of the wellbore). This is accomplished via introducing a column of liquid (such as water) into the production tubing above the pump. The liquid exerts a force on the pump and sealing member so as to force the pump deeper into the well, thereby drawing one or more power lines into the wellbore with the pump. The invention advantageously enables a small diameter submersible pump to be economically deployed in a highly deviated wellbore. The invention also advantageously enables deployment into partially obstructed and/or damaged tubing. | 08-26-2010 |
