| 主权项 | 1. A sensor support that is removably positionable near a surface of a tire, the sensor support comprising: a rotatably supported, flexible substrate defining a longitudinal direction, the flexible substrate bendable along the longitudinal direction between a first position and a second position and comprising a plurality of interlocking members connected together along the longitudinal direction and rotatable relative to one another; a biasing member attached to the substrate and configured for urging the substrate towards the first position; and at least one sensor attached to the flexible substrate, the sensor configured for detecting damage at or below the surface of the tire. | ||
