Abstract: The automatic tire inflation status measurement system comprises a scale and a tire-deformation apparatus for automatically determining whether a pneumatic tire installed on a vehicle is underinflated. The scale plate is flush mounted with the road surface and measures the weight on the tire as the tire rolls across the plate. A second weight measurement is made by using a deformation bar which projects slightly above the road surface and causes the tire to deform as it rolls over the bar. Both the scale and deformation bar are connected to load cells, preferably the same load cells. The tire deforms as it rolls across the bar and weight on the bar vs time is measured by the load cells. Data from the load cells is collected by, for example, using a summing amplifier and a computer-operated data acquisition board. The peak reading on the scale and the peak value of the bar reading are used to calculate a ratio. This ratio is then compared to a threshold value to determine whether the tire is underinflated. The result of this analysis is communicated to the vehicle driver, for example, by an electronically controlled display, such as a visual message display, computer speech generator or printer output, connected to the computer.

Abstract: Flashing footwear includes at least one light source, e.g., an LED, located on an external surface of the footwear so as to be visible, such as the rear of the heel. A power source, such as a battery, provides sufficient power to light the light source to cause illumination in response to a switch actuated by the condition of motion of the footwear so as to change between open and closed positions. A circuit is combined with the battery and switch to form a module arranged in the heel of the footwear. This circuit directs power from the battery to the LED to cause the LED to illuminate for a period of time in response to a change of the switch from the closed position to the open position and/or to light continuously while the switch is closed.

Abstract: A transition metal carbide (e.g., WC) is prepared by the following steps. A carbon-precursor mixture is formed by mixing a precursor comprised of (i) a transition metal oxide (e.g., WOx) and (ii) a material selected from the group consisting of: a transition metal (e.g., W); a transition metal carbide (e.g., WC) and a substoichiometric carbide (W2C), in the presence of a source of carbon (e.g., carbon black) in an amount sufficient to form a reduced mixture comprised of the transition metal carbide and substoichiometric transition metal carbide, wherein the amount of the transition metal oxide and transition metal is essentially zero in said reduced mixture. The carbon-precursor mixture is heated in a reducing atmosphere (e.g., 5 percent hydrogen in argon) to a reducing temperature and for a time sufficient to produce the reduced mixture. The reduced mixture is milled in the presence of a source of carbon in an amount sufficient to carburize the substoichiometric transition metal carbide to form the transition metal upon heating in a reducing atmosphere. Finally, the milled reduced mixture is heated in a reducing atmosphere to a carburizing temperature that is greater than the reducing temperature for a time sufficient to carburize the substoichiometric transition metal carbide to form the transition metal carbide of this invention (e.g., WC).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the nondestructive inspection of dielectric matierals are disclosed. Monochromatic, phase coherent electromagnetic radiation (6), preferably in the 5-50 gigahertz frequency range (i.e. microwaves) impinges on the sample. In accordance with Snell's law, the microwaves are partly transmitted and partly reflected at each interface where the dielectric constant changes due to irregularities. A portion of the reflected beam is combined with the signal reflected by the specimen being inspected. These two signals have the same frequency, but may differ in amplitude and phase. The signals combine to produce an interference pattern, a pattern that changes as the specimen changes, or as the position of the specimen changes relative to a detector (2, 4). A computer (10) is programmed to distinguish features in the interference pattern attributable to irregularities in the material from features in the interference pattern attributable to sources of noise.
