A ground-fixing system for a tire characteristics sensor housing (10) comprises: a fixing plate (1) comprising a plurality of recesses (2) of a given profile distributed over the surface of the fixing plate; and a plurality of fixing pins (3) of substantially corresponding profile, similarly distributed on a fixing face of said sensor housing (10), the shapes and dimensions of the recesses (2) and of the pins (3) for fixing being provided so as to allow, on the one hand, in a position of insertion of the pins, engagement of the latter in said recesses and, on the other hand, in a locking position of the pins, fixing of the sensor housing (10) on the fixing plate (1).

A method and system for analyzing a physical characteristic of a film sample are described herein. The system may include a material holder system configured to hold the film sample. The system may include a tensile testing system configured to stretch the film sample and determine a physical characteristic of the film sample. The system may include a movable system coupled to the material holder system and configured to move the held film sample to be analyzed or tested between stations. The movable system is configured to move the held film sample in the material holder system to the tensile testing system.
