| 20090101257 | Tyre Comprising an Electronic Unit and a Method of Installing Said Electronic Unit into Said Tyre - A tyre having a radially internal surface of substantially toroidal conformation, includes: a housing mounted on the internal surface of the tyre and an electronic unit at least partially housed in the housing, the housing including at least two portions, each having a cavity in contact with a respective portion of the electronic unit and housing the same, each portion of the housing being mounted on the internal surface of the tyre, and a fastening element applied to the portions of the housing to maintain a constraint between such portions and the electronic unit. A method of installing the electronic unit into a tyre. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090115590 | Tyre and System for Monitoring the Tyre During the Running of a Vehicle - A method for monitoring a tyre during running includes acquiring and storing, at least temporarily, a first curve representing an acceleration profile of a first point of a tread area of the tyre; acquiring and storing, at least temporarily, at least one second curve representing an acceleration profile of a second point of the tread area; and comparing the first curve and the at least one second curve, or parameters derived from the first curve and the at least one second curve, so as to determine a dynamic behavior of the tyre. The first and second points are located substantially on a same meridian plane of the tyre. A related tyre, wheel for a vehicle, system for monitoring a tyre during running, and method for controlling a vehicle are also disclosed. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090115591 | Tyre provided with a device for detecting at least one functional parameter of the tyre itself, and a method for detecting at least one functional parameter in a tyre - Fastened to a tyre is a detecting device consisting of a detecting unit including an antenna operatively connected to a sensor unit and a power supply unit including a piezoelectric element mounted in a housing. The piezoelectric element is disposed within the housing so as to have a first end substantially fixed to the housing and a second end associated with a loading mass, a gap being formed between at least one inner wall of the housing and an outer surface of the loading mass. The piezoelectric element is positioned substantially along a plane orthogonal to a radial direction of the tyre. An anchoring body has a base portion with a fastening surface secured to the radially internal surface of the tyre. The detecting unit is brought into engagement with the anchoring body by insertion of the inner perimetral edge of the antenna into a perimetral groove formed between the base portion and a retaining portion. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090183562 | Tyre Comprising an Electronic Unit and a Method of Installing Said Electronic Unit into Said Tyre - A tyre having an internal surface of substantially toroidal conformation, includes an electronic device including an electronic unit and an antenna, the latter being connected with the electronic unit and having an inner perimetral edge, and an anchoring body mounted on the internal surface for engagement between the electronic device and the tyre, the anchoring body including at least two portions, said electronic unit being arranged between the portions. Each of the portions has a fastening surface secured to the internal surface of the tyre and a groove in which the inner perimetral edge of the antenna is fitted to maintain a constraint between the electronic unit and the anchoring body. Also disclosed is a method of installing an electronic unit into a tyre. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090273460 | Pneumatic tyre for vehicle wheels provided with an antenna and method of manufacturing thereof - A pneumatic tyre for vehicle wheels with a radially inner surface of a substantially toroidal conformation, includes at least one antenna provided with an electrically conductive elongated body in engagement with the radially inner surface through a plurality of constraint elements. Each pair of consecutive constraint elements identifies an orthodromic distance smaller than the length of the elongated-body portion between this pair of elements. Also described is a method of setting the antenna on the inner surface of the tyre. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090320580 | TYRE COMPRISING A DEVICE FOR DETECTING AT LEAST A CHARACTERISTIC PARAMETER OF THE TYRE ITSELF, AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - Fastened to a tyre is a detecting device consisting of a detecting unit including a sensor associated with an annular antenna having an inner perimetral edge, and an anchoring body having a base portion with a fastening surface secured to the radially internal surface of the tyre. The detecting unit is removably brought into engagement with the anchoring body by insertion of the inner perimetral edge of the antenna into a perimetral groove formed between the base portion and a retaining portion. The anchoring body has an overall height of about 0.2 to about 1.5 times a maximum distance measure between two mutually spaced apart points along the inner perimetral edge. | 12-31-2009 |
