System for monitoring the inflation pressure of the tires of an aircraft
System for monitoring the inflation pressure of the tires of an aircraft comprising a pressure sensor carried by each of the wheel rims of an aircraft and delivering an inflation pressure for each of the tires mounted on these rims, a processing unit ensuring the conversion of the different tire inflation pressures into values that can be used by a display device making these different tire inflation pressures available to a pilot or a maintenance operator, the processing unit being distributed in each of the aircraft wheel covers and configured on the one hand to communicate with the wheel pressure sensor via a short-distance wireless communication link and on the other hand to ensure the transmission of the tire inflation pressure coming from the pressure sensor towards the display device via a medium-range wireless communication link.
WHEEL HUB BEARING PROVIDED WITH A WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER DEVICE
A wheel hub bearing for motor vehicles, comprising a hub and a bearing unit in turn comprising a radially outer ring, at least one radially inner ring, at least one crown of rolling bodies between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring, whereas the hub has a radial stiffening. The radial stiffening of the hub has a misalignment (d) respect to a seat, i.e. a distance between a centerline axis (Y) of the seat of the radially inner ring on the hub and a centerline (Z) of the radial stiffening less than or equal to 25% of a length (l) of the seat.
PRESSURE BASED WIRELESS SENSOR AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag includes an antenna, an analog front end, a processing circuit, and memory. The analog front end includes a power circuit, a tuning circuit, a transmitter, and a receiver. The power circuit is operably coupled to convert a radio frequency (RF) signal into a power supply voltage. The tuning circuit, when enabled, adjusts an RF characteristic of the analog front end to tune power harvesting from the RF signal. The transmitter is operably coupled to transmit a response signal to the RFID reader via the antenna. The receiver is operably coupled to receive a command signal from the RFID reader, wherein the command signal is contained within a portion of the RF signal. The processing circuit is operable to interpret the command signal and generate the response signal.
Integrated tire sensor and reader system
An integrated tire sensor and reader system includes at least one sensor unit mounted a tire or a wheel. A reader is disposed remotely from the sensor unit. The sensor unit includes at least one sensor for measuring a parameter of the tire or wheel and an antenna for communicating with the reader. The sensor unit is configured to receive a radio frequency power signal from the reader and to transmit data to the reader. The reader includes an antenna for transmitting the radio frequency power signal to the sensor unit to actuate the one sensor unit. Upon actuation of the sensor unit, the sensor measures the parameter of the tire or wheel, and data from the sensor is transmitted from the sensor unit to the reader.

Pneumatic tire, pneumatic tire assembly, and power supply system
A pneumatic tire includes a planar-shaped receiver coil in a cavity region, and configured to receive a magnetic field through a carcass ply layer and generate a signal, and an element to receive power converted from the signal. A receiving region of the receiver coil is interposed between an outermost side of a bead core in the radial direction and an innermost side of a belt layer in the radial direction, and the receiving region faces in the width direction. When a maximum dimension of the receiving region along the radial direction of the receiver coil is a length D1, a distance from the receiving region to a nearest portion of the bead core to the receiving region is L1, and a distance from the receiving region to a nearest portion of the belt layer to the receiving region is L2, relationships L1>(D1/4) and L2>(D2/4) are satisfied.
Rolling bearing unit for wheel support
A charger incorporated in a vehicle wheel supporting rolling bearing unit detects an output voltage of an electric generator and calculates a rotation speed of a hub. When a rotation speed of the hub is in a low speed state where a sensor and a wireless communication device are operated by electric power supplied 5 by a battery, a frequency of wireless communication performed between the wireless communication device and a calculator disposed on a vehicle body side is changed according to the rotation speed of the hub or a traveling speed of a vehicle.
