Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110256592USE OF CYCLODEXTRINS TO IMPROVE THE SPECIFICITY, SENSITIVITY AND YIELD OF NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION REACTIONS - The invention is directed to methods for in vitro DNA synthesis catalysed by a DNA polymerase using cyclodextrins. The invention also relates to methods, compositions and kits comprising cyclodextrins for the amplification of a nucleic acid. The use of cyclodextrins improves the specificity, sensibility and/or yield of the amplification reaction. The invention is related more particularly to kits, compositions and methods for carrying out PCR reactions comprising a cyclodextrin.10-20-2011

20110079333MULTI-LEVEL TIRE TREADWEAR INDICATOR - A tire tread includes at least one tread element and a treadwear indicator. The tread element projects from a base of the tire tread. The tread element has a radially outermost surface for contacting a road surface. The treadwear indicator includes a first step and a second step radially offset from the first step. The first step has a first surface disposed radially inward of the outermost surface of the tread element. The second step is disposed radially inward of the outermost surface of the tread element.04-07-2011

20100300626PNEUMATIC TIRE TREAD - A pneumatic tire tread has tread elements formed by circumferential and/or lateral grooves. At least one tread element has a sipe that devolves from a constant width sipe having a three dimensional aspect in at least a portion of the radially outer portion of the sipe to a wider width groove at the base of the tread feature.12-02-2010

20100276045EXTENDABLE/RETRACTABLE STUDS FOR A TIRE - A tire includes a carcass, a tread band having a radially outer tread surface and a plurality of radially extending recesses, and an anti-slip structure disposed in one of the radially extending recesses. The structure includes a cylindrical housing with a cylindrical flange and a central channel and a stud portion with a shaft and a flange. The shaft is slidingly disposed within the central channel such that a radially outer tip of the shaft may selectably extend radially outward from the cylindrical housing and from the radially outer tread surface in order to enhance traction for the tire. The radially outer tip extends from the cylindrical housing and from the radially outer tread surface when a predetermined air pressure is introduced into the radially extending recess thereby forcing the flange of the stud portion radially outward to abut the cylindrical flange of the cylindrical housing.11-04-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100159047TIRE MOLD AND TIRE WITH INTERNAL GROOVES IN SHOULDER AREA - A tire mold is described that includes a plurality of tread molding segments having an inner surface for molding the tire tread. The mold further includes a plurality of sidewall plates having an inner surface for molding the tire sidewall. The tread mold segments together with the sidewalls cooperate to form a tire molding cavity. The sidewall plate further comprises a slot that extends from the outer surface of the tread segment to the inner mold surface, and has a piston having a head slidably received in the slot. A pin is positioned between the piston head and an end of the slot. The mold further includes actuating means for actuating the piston in the slot when the mold is closed.06-24-2010
20110088822STUDS FOR A TIRE - A tire includes a carcass, a tread band having a radially outer tread surface and a plurality of radially extending recesses, and an anti-slip structure disposed in one of the radially extending recesses. The anti-slip structure includes a first end portion, a second triangular middle portion, and a third triangular end portion. The third end portion includes three radially extending projections for providing traction over ice. The shape of the radially extending recess corresponds to the shape of the anti-slip structure such that the anti-slip structure is both radially and rotationally secured within the recess relative to the tread band of the tire.04-21-2011
20110088823STUDS FOR A TIRE - A tire includes a carcass, a tread band having a radially outer tread surface and a plurality of radially extending recesses, and an anti-slip structure disposed in one of the radially extending recesses. The anti-slip structure includes a first circular inner portion, a second outer portion, and a third core portion. The third core portion comprises an assembly of three pin structures for providing traction over ice. Each pin structure has a wedge-shaped base portion secured within the first circular inner portion and a pin extending through the second outer portion to the tread surface. The three wedge-shaped base portions combine to form a circular base portion for the assembly.04-21-2011
20110240192TIRE TREAD CONSTRUCTION FOR IMPROVED TRACTION - A structure for a tread pattern of a pneumatic tire includes a radially extending pedestal, a first set of cylindrical voids extending radially through the pedestal, a second set of cylindrical voids extending radially through the pedestal, and a radially extending void ring circumscribing the pedestal.10-06-2011

20090165912TIRE WITH RETRACTABLE STUD - A retractable stud pin assembly is described for use in a conventional tire. The stud pin assembly includes a housing having an elastomer compartment and a spring in cooperation with the elastomer. A stud pin is mounted to the spring. The assembly may further optionally include a fluid compartment in cooperation with the elastomer compartment and the spring. The assembly may further include a second compression spring, which cooperates with the first spring and stud pin. An optional adjustment nut may be used to manually raise and lower the pin height as desired. An optional adjustment pin may also be used to extend into an optional fluid compartment to fine tune the pin height.07-02-2009
