| 20080202659 | PUSH IN TIRE VALVE STEM - A tire pressure monitoring assembly includes a sensor secured to a valve stem secured within a wheel rim. The sensor is secured to the valve stem with a push on clip. The valve stem includes two pieces that provide for installation from one side of the wheel rim. The valve stem is separable to provide for the elongation of the rubber housing. Elongation of the housing causes a reduction in an outer diameter that provides for insertion into the opening of the wheel rim. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080204217 | ROBUST RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS - A tire pressure monitoring system includes a receiver for processing signals and alerting an operator of the vehicle should conditions within any of the tires fall outside a desired range. The transmitters within the tires emit shorter transmission signals during operation by eliminating transmission of the identification code. The receiver stores the identifier for each transmitter for comparison to subsequent transmissions. Subsequent transmissions do not include the identifier. The receiver combines the saved identifier with the value provided in the check portion of the incoming transmission. If the combination of the saved identifier with the value provided in the check portion meets a defined criteria, than the signal is recognized as originating from one of the transmitters. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080205553 | RECONSTRUCTION OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SIGNALS - A tire pressure monitoring system includes a process of reconstructing a complete data frame from portions of partially received data frames. The tire pressure monitoring system includes a receiver that includes a buffer to store portions of the transmissions for reconstruction of data in response to portions of the transmission not being received. A reconstructed data frame is generated using the saved partially received data frame and the currently received partial data frame. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080266068 | Remote Signal Communication System Having Improved Reception Performance - A method for improving the reception performance of a remote signal communication system includes communicating a signal from a proximate communication device to an electronic control module, communicating a first portion of the signal to a first input capture of the electronic control module, and communicating a second portion of the signal to a second input capture of the electronic control module. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080302425 | Formed Flange For Pressure Monitoring Valve Stem Mount - A valve stem for mounting and supporting a tire pressure monitoring assembly includes a flange formed after insertion into the wheel rim for preventing movement caused by forces generated during wheel rotation. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090000311 | PRELIMINARY VEHICLE HEATING AND COOLING BY PELTIER EFFECT - A climate control system includes the interim heating/cooling component that operates in the interim duration prior to the heating and cooling systems reaching a desired state of readiness. The interim heating/cooling device uses the Peltier effect to transfer heat between first and second sides depending on a polarity of current. Controlling which of the two sides is heated provides the desired heating or cooling of the air. Once the heating or cooling system reaches the desired state of readiness, the interim heating/cooling device is turned off. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090033478 | UNIVERSAL TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR - A tire pressure monitoring device includes a memory that includes a plurality of selectable communication protocols to govern communication and operation. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20110140876 | Tire Pressure Monitoring Apparatus And Method - A tire pressure measuring device is configured with a plurality of communication protocols. Tire pressure information is sensed using the tire pressure measuring device. The tire pressure information is transmitted from the tire pressure measuring device to an external receiver device according to each of the plurality of communication protocols. | 06-16-2011 |
