A tire includes tread having at least one ring-shaped steel belt extending in a circumferential direction of the tire, and a pair of beads having bead filler extending to an outer side of a tire-radial direction of the bead core, in which an electronic component is embedded in a region between a tire-radial direction outside end of the bead filler and a tire-width direction outside end of the steel belt.

An apparatus and method for measuring pressure and/or humidity, having at least one sensor for measuring pressure and/or humidity. The sensor has at least one capacitor having at least two electrodes that are arranged in a horizontal direction relative to one another along and on a flexible support material. At least one dielectric layer is arranged between the electrodes. At least one at least partially moisture-permeable and/or moisture-absorbing layer is arranged in some places on a side, facing away from a support material, of the electrode and/or the dielectric layer. The at least one electrode and/or the dielectric layer are arranged transversely between the support material and the moisture layer. In this way, a capacitance is at least partially changed by moisture hitting the dielectric layer, and a processing unit is designed and provided to measure and/or store this change, so as to create a capacitive moisture sensor.

Provided are a pneumatic tire and a method for manufacturing the same. At least one sensor unit including a sensor that acquires tire information is fixed to a tire inner surface via an adhesive layer, and a thickness of a release agent detected by an electron microscope at least in a fixing region for the sensor unit is from 0.1 μm to 100 μm.

Provided is a pneumatic tire. At least one sensor unit including a sensor that acquires tire information is fixed to an innerliner constituting a tire inner surface, and the sensor unit is bonded to the tire inner surface via an adhesive layer in a state where a release agent present in the tire inner surface is removed by cutting at least in a fixing region for the sensor unit.

A tire comprises an inner surface defining and facing an inner hollow space, an outer surface pointing away from the inner hollow space. A method of processing the tire comprises identifying the position of a first feature on the outer surface and cleaning a surface portion of the inner surface of the tire, wherein the surface portion has a first predetermined position relative to the position of the first feature on the outer surface. A separate element is attached with its attachment surface to the surface portion, wherein a ratio of a size of the surface portion over a corresponding size of the attachment surface is smaller than 10.

An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.

A pneumatic tire includes: a tire inner surface rubber layer constituting a tire inner surface; and an electrically conductive member, at least a part of the electrically conductive member being disposed on an inner cavity side of the tire inner surface rubber layer. The electrically conductive member includes a knitted fabric including a yarn, at least a part of the yarn having electrical conductivity, the knitted fabric having stretchability. The electrically conductive member is electrically connected to an electrical device provided in the tire. The electrically conductive member is disposed extending along the tire inner surface in a tire radial direction, and a direction in which the electrically conductive member extends aligns with a direction in which the knitted fabric has stretchability. The knitted fabric is configured by mixing a yarn having electrical conductivity and a yarn having non-electrical conductivity.

Provided are a pneumatic tire and a method of manufacturing the same is provided. An information display unit is configured to display, in a tire surface, information relating to attachment of a sensor unit configured to acquire tire information.
