20090015393 | APPARATUS FOR DETECTING POSITIONS OF WHEELS OF VEHICLE AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE USING THE SAME - An apparatus for detecting positions of wheels of a vehicle is provided. In the apparatus, a triggering signal is transmitted from the body side to each transceiver mounted at each wheel. In each transceiver, the strength of the received triggering signal is measured and formatted into a frame of data to be transmitted to a receiver mounted to the vehicle body. The strength of the triggering signal is used to detect wheel positions by determining that each transducer is disposed at which wheel. The receiver determines if there is a reply of the flame of data containing the strength when the triggering device transmits the triggering signal. When no replay comes from the transceiver, the strength of noise is measured in the transceiver in response to a command from the receiver. When the noise strength is less than a threshold, the receiver commands an alarm member to issue alarm. | 01-15-2009 |

20090145217 | TRIGGER UNIT MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR WHEEL POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM - A first trigger unit and a second trigger unit output trigger signals to transceivers disposed for the four wheels of a vehicle. The first and second trigger units are attached to wall surfaces of tire housings corresponding to the left front and left rear wheels respectively. Each of the first and second trigger units is arranged in a position of the wall surface having an angle from 5 to 25 degrees with respect to the side of the corresponding wheel. Transceivers attached to a right front and right rear wheels are thus located farther from the trigger units than the left front and left rear wheels, respectively. Such arrangement allows the transceivers attached to the right front and right rear wheels to receive the outputted trigger signals with sufficient accuracy due to high field strength. | 06-11-2009 |
20120319831 | WHEEL POSITION IDENTIFYING DEVICE, TRANSMITTER USED FOR THE SAME, AND TIRE PRESSURE DETECTING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - In a wheel position identifying device for a vehicle, transmitters are disposed in wheels, respectively. Each of the transmitters has a dual axis acceleration sensor and a control unit. The dual axis acceleration sensor detects a normal-direction acceleration and a tangential-direction acceleration of the wheel associated with the transmitter. The control unit determines whether the wheel associated with the transmitter is a right wheel or a left wheel based on a sign of a product of a time differential value of the normal-direction acceleration and the tangential-direction acceleration, and stores data regarding a determination result in a frame. A receiver receives the frame from each transmitter and identifies a position of the transmitter based on the data stored in the frame. The wheel position identifying device is for example employed to a tire pressure detecting apparatus. | 12-20-2012 |
20130222128 | Tire Pressure Detecting Apparatus Having Wheel Position Detection Function - In a tire pressure detecting apparatus, a receiver stores wheel positions detected by a previous wheel position detection as previous wheel positions. When an ignition switch is turned on and until wheel positions are newly specified by a current wheel position detection, the receiver permits an indicator to indicate tire pressure of each of wheels based on the previous wheel positions to notify a driver of the tire pressure from an earlier timing. The receiver permits the indication of the tire pressure based on the previous wheel positions only when a difference of the tire pressure between the wheels is equal to or less than a threshold. If there is a possibility that tire pressure of one of the wheels is insufficient, the receiver prevents the indicator to indicate the tire pressure until a current wheel position detection finishes. | 08-29-2013 |
