Abstract: The test appts. has a rotatably mounted arrangement (22) to receive a vehicle wheel (23) whose circumferential surface is pressed by force elements directed radially to a rotatably driven friction body (1) to generate friction against the circumferential surface of the rotation symmetrical friction body. The rotational axis of the wheel is pivotal from a position parallel to the axis of the friction body, about a pivot axis. The pivot axis lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the vehicle wheel. The device also has an arrangement for controlled pivoting of the rotation axis of the wheel about the pivot axis to set an angle corresponding to the dip or tilt angle of a vehicle wheel. The friction body is formed with a rigid cladding surface. This is formed with a friction coating (2) permanently locked over the circumference.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire in which a reinforcing layer and a tread are disposed at an outer circumference of a crown portion of a carcass which extends over a pair of bead cores and is formed in a troidal shape, wherein: rubber layers having different wear resistances are adjacent to each other in a cross section of at least a ground portion of the tread, which cross section is orthogonal to a radial direction of the tire, and two or more rubber layers of the rubber layers are superposed on one other per 10 mm length along the cross section. When the surface of the tread wears due to the running of a vehicle, the rubber layer having low wear resistance wears more than the rubber layer having high wear resistance. Accordingly, a plurality of narrow grooves are formed on the surface of the tread. Due to the grooves formed in this way, wet resistance and ice gripping ability improve.

Abstract: Methods for preparing a cutting tool substrate material for diamond coating include providing a grooved pattern on selected portions of at least the top surface and preferably also the sides of the substrate material. The pattern may be a cross-hatching, a diamond-hatching, or another design. The pattern is preferably applied to the tool substrate by scribing with a laser ablation tool. The pattern is designed to optimize adhesion of CVD diamond on the portions of the tool substrate which are expected to be most challenged during a cutting process. The dimensions of the pattern (e.g. the depth and spacing of scribe lines) are selected to provide the optimum combination of mechanical bonding and diamond nucleation during the CVD coating of the tool substrate. According to preferred aspects of the invention, the pattern is applied only to the portions of the surface not immediately adjacent to the cutting edge of the tool substrate, thereby sparing the geometry of the cutting edge itself. According to a one embodiment of the invention, the pattern includes a cross hatch on the top surface and on the side surfaces of the substrate. According to a another embodiment, the top surface is cross hatched in the center while the corners of the top surface are provided with parallel grooves. In another embodiment, the side surfaces are provided with parallel grooves parallel to the top surface.
