The present invention provides a method and system for verifying and tracking identification information. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for delivering security solutions is provided that includes at least one of the following: a radio frequency (RF) identification device, an identification mechanism (e.g., a card, sticker), and an RF reader.

The embodiments described herein generally relate to an electronic communication module suitable for incorporating into a tire or tire retread, where the electronic communication module comprises a radio device having at least a portion of its outer surface surrounded by a rubber composition. Certain embodiments also relate to tires or tire retreads containing the electronic communication module. In addition, certain embodiments relate to methods for improving the readability of a radio device incorporated into a tire or tire retread.

The present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, which is attached to a tire surface during the manufacturing process of a tire in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, enabling the management of tire manufacturing history from the beginning of the production to product shipment, and thereafter, the durability is maintained even in the flexing motion of a tire that occurs while the tire is installed and operated in a vehicle such that chip damage of a tag and tag detachment from the tire do not occur, and therefore, it enables RFID communication to be performed without obstacles until the end of a tire life.

The solution proposed by the invention consists of a method for monitoring the tyres of vehicles transporting excavations in mines, using tyre handling equipment, said tyres being equipped with radio frequency identification tags and physical parameter sensors; said method also using a database comprising the identifiers of the vehicles, the identifiers of the tyres, the identifiers of the sensors and of the positions of the tyres on the axles.

A method for providing a service linked to the condition and/or behavior of a vehicle and/or of a tire comprises the following steps: when a vehicle passes a road infrastructure equipped with a system for assessing the condition of a vehicle, determining an identifier of the vehicle and/or of a tire of the vehicle, at the same time, determining at least one parameter representative of the condition of the vehicle and/or of a component of the vehicle, transmitting the determined data to a remote data server, from the identification data, retrieving external data concerning the vehicle and/or the tire and/or the running conditions, combining the determined information with the external data such as to determine a relevant indicator concerning the condition and/or the behavior of a vehicle, and transmitting the relevant indicator to a provider of a service linked to the condition and/or to the behavior of a vehicle and/or of a tire.

A disclosed vehicle component may include at least one split-ring resonator, which may be embedded within a material. The split ring resonator may be formed from a three-dimensional (3D) monolithic carbonaceous growth and may detect an electromagnetic ping emitted from a user device. The split ring resonator may generate an electromagnetic return signal in response to the electromagnetic ping. The electromagnetic return signal may indicate a state of the material in a position proximate to a respective split ring resonator. In some aspects, the split-ring resonator may resonate at a first frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the material is in a first state, and may resonate at a second frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the material is in a second state. A resonant frequency of the 3D monolithic carbonaceous growth may be based on physical characteristics of the material.

A chemically treated, RFID equipped mesh tire label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and post tire vulcanization, the label comprising: a mesh face layer configured to be adhered to an outer surface of an unvulcanized tire; a mesh backing layer attached to the mesh face layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process; and an RFID device affixed between the mesh face and mesh backing layers, the RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information upon being read with an RFID reader during and post tire vulcanization.

A tire casing is equipped with a radiofrequency transponder and includes a crown, two sidewalls and two beads revolving around a reference axis, first threads forming outward segments and return segments that are arranged adjacently, aligned circumferentially, anchored in the two beads with, in each bead, loops in each case linking an outward segment to a return segment and, in each bead, means for anchoring the first threads, comprising second threads oriented circumferentially axially bordering the first threads and forming at least one spiral, the first threads forming at least one circumferential alignment defining the carcass ply that separates said tire casing into two zones, inside and outside with respect to this carcass ply. The radiofrequency transponder comprises at least one electronic chip and a radiating radiocommunication antenna and is positioned radially externally in relation to the at least one spiral, characterized in that the radiofrequency transponder comprises a primary antenna electrically connected to the electronic chip, in that the primary antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the radiating antenna, and in that the radiating antenna is formed by a single-strand helical spring defining a first longitudinal axis.

An intelligent tire monitoring system includes a tire body, a sheet-shaped conductive polymer sensor, a micro control unit, an RF unit, a computer, and an RF circuit. The sheet-shaped conductive polymer sensor is affixed to an inner liner layer at a middle portion of a tire crown. One end of the sheet-shaped conductive polymer sensor is connected to the micro control unit through the RF unit, and the other end of the sheet-shaped conductive polymer sensor is connected to the computer through the RF circuit. The computer includes a power supply module, a communication port, a display screen, an audible alarm, a press-key input module, and a processor. The state of the tire is comprehensively determined by matching or combining a strain amplitude of the tire crown and an operating temperature with a fitting function.

A pneumatic tire (1) having: a toroidal carcass (2), which is comprised of a body ply (3) partially collapsed onto itself and therefore having two lateral flaps; two annular beads (4), each of which is surrounded by the body ply (3) and has a bead core (5) and a bead filler (6); an annular tread (7); a pair of sidewalls (11) arranged externally to the body ply (3) between the tread (7) and the beads (4); a pair of abrasion gum strips (12) arranged externally to the body ply (3) under the sidewalls (13) and at the beads (4); and a transponder (13) which is arranged in contact with the body ply (3) at a flap of the body ply (3) and is located below an edge (19) of the body ply (3) between the edge (19) of the body ply (3) and the bead (4).
