HIGH MODULUS TEXTILE CORD WITH AN AT LEAST TRIPLE TWIST
A high modulus textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns have an initial elastic modulus denoted Mi which is greater than 2000 cN/tex. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.
TYRE AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ANNULAR
A method for manufacturing an annular carcass of a tire includes providing first and second ply materials, each including cords; winding at least a layer of the first ply material and a layer of the second ply material onto a carcass drum so the first ply material radially surrounds the second ply material; arranging two cables onto the cylindrical carcass preform; turning the part of the cylindrical carcass preform about the closer cable onto the part of the cylindrical carcass preform between the two cables; and expanding the cylindrical carcass preform to form an annular carcass having, in a bead area, inner and outer layers of the first ply material and inner and outer layers of the second ply material. The ply materials are arranged so the cords thereof are arranged cross-wise with respect to its neighboring ply materials or a neighboring ply material, considering the innermost or outermost layer.
A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A BULLETPROOF AND EXPLOSIONPROOF TUBELESS TIRE
The invention discloses a method for manufacturing a bulletproof and explosion-proof tubeless tire, first, the innerliner is attached to the carcass cord ply to make the carcass innerliner, and then the steel wire braided layers and the intermediate rubber layers are laminated to each other to make an explosion-proof layer, using a first stage building machine to complete the first stage forming of the carcass innerliner, explosion-proof layer and belt to obtain a semi-finished embryo, and then using a second stage building machine, the semi-finished embryo and the tread slab base are formed in the second stage to obtain the embryo, which is baked and stored for 8˜96h and then vulcanised to obtain a bulletproof and explosion-proof tire; through the second stage forming process, the invention solves the problem that the explosion-proof layer is difficult to form due to the excessively hard metal material when making the embryo.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
A pneumatic tire, wherein, in a state of being mounted on a rim, defining the rim diameter as D, the length from the rim position representing the rim diameter D to the maximum tire radial height as SH, the rim flange height as G, the rim flange radius as R.sub.2, and the bead filler height H.sub.bf as the tire radial height with respect to the rim position representing the rim diameter D, the bead filler height H.sub.bf is less than or equal to a value obtained by the following formula: {SH−(G−R.sub.2)}/4+(G−R.sub.2). The cord is provided in at least one part from a bead portion to a sidewall portion 3 at an angle of 0 to 10° to the circumferential direction.
AIRCRAFT PNEUMATIC TIRE
An aircraft pneumatic tire includes a spirally wound belt layer in which a ribbon-shaped first strip material with a first belt cord including organic fibers and being covered with rubber is spirally wound; and zigzag belt layers in which a ribbon-shaped second strip material with a second belt cord including organic fibers and being covered with rubber extends and is wound in a circumferential direction while bending zigzag by being folded back at width directional end edges to an outer circumferential side of the spirally wound belt layers. The maximum width of the spirally wound belt layers is wider than the maximum width of the zigzag belt layers, and the width of the second strip material is wider than the width of the first strip material.
BICYCLE-TIRE REINFORCING PLY AND BICYCLE TIRE
A bicycle-tire reinforcing ply comprising a woven fabric that comprises liquid crystalline polyester fiber yarns, wherein each of the fiber yarns comprises three or more single fibers having an average fiber diameter of 25 μm or larger, and the fiber yarns satisfies the following formula:
[No. of single fibers per fiber yarn]×[average fiber diameter (μm)]≤1700.
Multi-camera vision system for a vehicle
A multi-camera vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of video cameras having respective fields of view external of the vehicle. Captured image data is provided to and processed at a central data processor in order to detect objects that are within the field of view of at least some of the video cameras. The vehicle is equipped with a sensor system having at least one non-visual sensor that senses sensor data in a region external of the vehicle. The sensed sensor data is provided to the central data processor. A potential hazard present exterior the vehicle is determined to exist via processing at the central data processor of at least one of received image data and received sensor data.

Imaging system for vehicle
An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a video display device. The imaging system generates an overlay that is electronically superimposed on the displayed images to assist a driver of the vehicle when executing a backup maneuver. The overlay has first, second and third overlay zones, with the overlay zones indicative of respective distance ranges from the rear of the vehicle to respective distances. As indicated to the driver viewing the video display screen when executing a backup maneuver, the first distance is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second distance and the second distance is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the third distance. The first overlay zone may be a first color and the second overlay zone may be a second color and the third overlay zone may be a third color.
Integrated child safety seat
An infant safety car seat seamlessly and permanently integrated into the bench seat between two adult seats or replacing the adult seats if more than one is incorporated into the vehicle. The child seat is sunken or not below and behind the vehicle bench and seat and safety harnesses are permanently installed to secure an infant in the safety seat. The seat adjusts to allow forward or rearward facing configurations suitable to different ages of the infant, from zero to eight years old. Security features are internally integrated to prevent the incidence of leaving an unbuckled and/or an unattended infant in a vehicle that includes some combination of a scale, hasps sensors in display and video monitor of cameras in screen.
