Device for measuring tire pressure without a battery
A measurement device for measuring the pressure of a wheel (3) of a vehicle, the measurement device comprising a stationary portion (5) and a movable portion (14) for being driven in rotation by the wheel, the stationary portion including a first printed circuit (7) having at least one first track formed thereon defining a first winding, the movable portion including a second printed circuit (16) having at least one second track formed thereon defining a second winding, the second printed circuit being arranged to be connected to a pressure sensor (15), the first winding and the second winding being coupled together to form a wireless communication channel, the measurement device being arranged in such a manner that the pressure sensor is electrically powered by the stationary portion via the wireless communication channel, and in such a manner that uplink data comprising pressure measurement data is transmitted to the stationary portion (5) by the movable portion (14) via the wireless communication channel.
Contact patch data acquisition
A sensor system for acquiring a perturbation, induced by a contact patch of a tire, in data generated by a sensor system mounted in the tire, comprises at least one sensor adapted for generating the data related to a physical property of the tire, and an acquisition system comprising memory. The sensor system is adapted for triggering the acquisition system to acquire the data and for storing it in a buffer in the memory, until a predefined delay after the perturbation is recognized. The perturbation is recognized by comparing the stored data with at least one characterizing feature of the perturbation.
Systems and methods for variable gap wireless power and communication
Systems and methods for tuning power transmission circuits may sweep a power frequency applied to a transmission coil across a plurality of frequencies.
