Abstract: A tire includes at least one carcass-type reinforcement structure anchored on each side in a bead, each bead being extended radially towards the outside by a sidewall having at least one substantially resilient circumferential cord disposed in the substantially median portion of the sidewalls. The carcass-type reinforcement structure includes a ply of carcass cords extending from the bead to the crown within a sidewall. The carcass cords are arranged in such a way that, in a sidewall zone restricted to the median portion of the sidewall, the carcass cords exhibit different respective axial positions, so as to form around the circumference a succession of substantially regular undulations defining an undulating circumferential profile. Outside of the sidewall zone, the carcass cords of the ply do not form undulations. At reduced pressure the undulations tend to straighten out and rigidify the sidewall in such a way as to be able to bear the load.

Abstract: A controller (5) controls the engaging force between a pump impeller (1a) connected to an engine (2) and a turbine runner (1b) connected to an automatic transmission (23). The controller (5) first performs feedforward control of the engaging force. The controller (5) determines a reference value and a target rotation speed based on the capacity characteristics of the torque converter (1), and if the rotation speed of the engine (2) becomes less than the reference value, performs feedback control of the engaging force so that the deviation between the target rotation speed and the rotation speed decreases. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the controller (5) changes over from feedforward control to feedback control, even if the rotation speed of the engine (21) is not less than the reference value. As a result, the control precision of feedback control when performing a slip lock-up, is increased.
