摘要 |
<p>The present invention is a novel technique and system that allows the pressure of a tire to be remotely monitored by sensing a tire parameter (15) indicative of the tire's pressure without mounting any device on the tire (2) itself, while the tire (2) is or is not rotating. In the illustrative embodiment, a tire parameter (15) indicative of the pressure inside the tire (2), such as the temperature, acoustical signature, or shape of the tire (2), is measured remotely with a remotely mounted sensor (4). The measured parameter (15) is compared to a range of known acceptable limits (18) for that particular parameter, and a warning signal (8) is generated if the measured parameter (15) is not within that range of acceptable limits (18).</p> |
