Title: Non-attached monitoring assembly for pneumatic tire
Inventor: WALENGA GUY J
IPC: H01Q1/22
Filed: 1999-11-12
Granted: 2007-10-02
Abstract: A monitoring assembly for a pneumatic tire includes an electronic monitoring device having at least one sensor disposed in a protective body.  The protective body includes an encapsulation layer that encapsulates the substrate and sensors, a cushion, and a skin on the outside of the cushion. The protective body is substantially spherical allowing the assembly to roll about the inside of a tire without being permanently connected to the tire. A breathing tube through the protective body is provided so that a pressure sensor can sense the pressure within the pneumatic tire. The breathing tube may be filled with a transfer gel to prevent the breathing tube from being clogged. The monitoring assembly may further include wings that help position the monitoring assembly within the tire. The antenna of the monitoring device may be disposed within one of the wings. The monitoring assembly is simply placed in a tire before the tire is mounted on a vehicle rim and allowed to move about loosely in the tire chamber when the tire is in use.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming an outwardly-rolled lip on an open end of a deformable cylindrical container body. The apparatus may include a mandrel having a generally cylindrical-shaped portion for movably supporting at least a porti on of an interior surface of the container body. The apparatus further includes a lip - forming die assembly forming a part of the mandrel and having an annular cavity defining an open mouth portion and a closed bottom portion which defines a surface area extending generally radially outwardly of the mandrel outer surface and which is oriented with the open mouth portion generally transverse to an outer periphery of the contain er body and which faces the open end of the container body around the periphery. An axia l forcing member contacts the other end of the container body for axially moving the container body along the outer surface of the mandrel and the container open end into and through the die assembly. The cavity bottom portion surface area of the lip-forming die assembly has a generally C-shaped cross-sectional contour in the direction of its outward extension which includes a combination of curved and straight sections positioned at predetermined radii and angles to a longitudinal axis of the container body, so that, when the outer periphery of the open end of the container body is forced into and through t he die assembly to form the outwardly-rolled lip, the end of the container body wil l contact only a part of the bottom portion surface area of the die cavity to reduce frictional engagement and to minimize the force necessary to move the end of the container body through the die.

By varying the geometries of the channels (length, cross section, etc.), a plurality of reagent materials can be mixed at a junction such that the proportions of the reagent materials in the mixing channel depend on a ratio of the channel geometries and material properties. Such an approach facilitates voltage division on the microchip without relying on external wiring schemes and voltage division techniques external to the microchip. Microchannel designs that provide the necessary voltage division to accomplish electrokinetic valuing operations using a single voltage source and a switch are also described. In addition, microchannel designs that accomplish fluidic operation utilizing a minimal number of fluidic reservoirs are disclosed.
