Embodiments of the present invention relate to tracks and a related monitoring system. In some embodiments of these teachings, the track can include one or more ground contacting elements (GCE) having rubber. Within each GCE, one or more integrated circuits (IC) are positioned. One or more conductive elements are positioned within each GCE. Each conductive elements is positioned external to but in electrical communication with of the ICs. Each conductive element is applied on an elastomer. Each conductive element includes one or more conductive compositions having fully exfoliated individual graphene sheets.

A system and a method for a receiver in a motor vehicle to learn a position of a buckle switch is disclosed. The buckle switch indicates a buckled state or an unbuckled state of a buckle on a seat belt mounted to a removable seat. The method includes the steps of placing the receiver into a learning mode, indicating that the position of the buckle switch is to be learned, activating the buckle switch, and indicating that the learning is complete.

A controller may be configured to generate commands to position a vehicle relative to primary inductive charge coils that are configured to charge TPMS arrangements. A controller may further be configured to generate commands based on data indicative of electromagnetic field strength between TPMS arrangements and a corresponding coil to reduce a difference in power received by the arrangements during a charge period.

A connector assembly includes a first side connector and a second side connector. The first side connector includes a first protective housing, a first inductor including a first end face, and a first physical connector element. The second side connector includes a second protective housing, a second inductor including a second face, and a second physical connector element. The second physical connector element is engaged with the first physical connector element and physically connects the first side connector to the second side connector such that the first end face and the second end face are adjacent. The first inductor and the second inductor are axially spaced apart. The first inductor and the second inductor form an inductive telemetry connection between the first side connector and the second side connector.

A wireless sealant and pressure monitoring system for tubeless tires includes an integrated wireless component positioned inside a tubeless tire. The integrated wireless component comprises a first and second conductive sealant sensor pad, a current sensor, and a pressure sensor. The current sensor measures an electrical current flowing between the first and second sealant sensor pads, providing a measure of the sealant level inside the tire. The pressure sensor measures the pressure inside the tubeless tire. The system also includes a wireless transmitter in communication with the current sensor and pressure sensor, configured to transmit data corresponding to the measured electrical current and measured pressure.

A bicycle rim includes a rim well which is connected to rim walls. A pressure sensor is connected to the rim well. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to an NFC antenna for contactless transmission of data and contactless reception of energy.
