6538569, Mar 25, 2003

Filed:

Mar 1, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/786513

Inventors:

William Frank Dunn - Stow OH

Assignee:

The Goodyear Tire Rubber Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

G08B 2100

US Classification:

340540, 34082506, 34087017, 3405721, 3405727, 3405729

Abstract:

A sealed container is provided with a sensor capable of monitoring the physical and/or chemical condition of materials stored in the container. The sensor may or may not have its own power source. In the embodiment where the sensor does not have a power source, a communicator induces a signal in the sensor and receives a return signal with the desired data. The container may be a metal or a nonmetal.

International Classification:

B26D 1547
B26D 702

US Classification:

83461

Abstract:

An apparatus for cutting an elongated body of elastomeric material includes a tensioned wire which is oscillated in a generally up and down motion while traversing through the elastomeric material. The wire acts as a cutting blade and prepares the cut surface of the elastomeric material to improve splices. The wire is suspended between a pair of pivotally mounted arms so that the wire oscillates as the arms are rocked by an eccentric mounted to a rotating shaft. The cutter wire passes through the body of elastomeric material at an angle relative to the plane in which the body of elastomeric material lies. The body of elastomeric material is secured in place by clamp segments which conform themselves to the cross-sectional shape of the body. The cutter wire is traversed through the elastomeric material on a cutter frame which is moved by a ball screw driven by a variable speed electric motor.

International Classification:

G01B 902

US Classification:

356 355

Abstract:

When the pressure on a reinforced rubber object is varied, weaker portions of the object expand more than surrounding areas of the object. By (a) illuminating the object with single phase monochromatic light which is separated into more than one beam, (b) causing the object to distort by abrasion or expansion, (c) observing the interference patterns on the object as it distorts and (d) analyzing stress patterns revealed by the interference patterns, these physical changes can be detected, recorded and analyzed.

Assignee:

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B60C 900
H04Q 148

US Classification:

1521521

Abstract:

A combination pneumatic tire and integrated circuit transponder for tire identification. The transponder is located within the tire structure and is capable of transmitting an identifying digital signal in response to interrogation by an R/F electric field emanating from outside the tire. The transponder then transmits the identifying signal, which is received, conditioned and demodulated. The tire has a steel-reinforced component, such as an annular tensile member in its bead or a steel-reinforced ply. The transponder has first and second electrodes, the first of which is positioned such that the average spacing of this first electrode's surface from one of the steel-reinforced tire components is substantially less than the average spacing of the second electrode's surface from such component. The transponder is capable of transmitting the electrical signal from the tire both prior to and after its valcanization, thus permitting identification and control of the tire during its manufacture and after its distribution and use.

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

128671

Abstract:

A temperature, pulse and respiration probe having a mouthpiece which fits over the patient's teeth and carries a thermistor for sensing the patient's temperature and a reflective photodetector for sensing both the patient's pulse and the patient's respiration. The reflective photodetector is mounted adjacent to a part of the interior surface of the patient's mouth which relatively rapidly, periodically changes its reflectivity due to the patient's pulse and which also relatively slowly, periodically changes its reflectivity due to the patient's respiration. The photodetector produces a single signal representative of both the relatively rapid and the relatively slower changes in the reflectivity corresponding to the patient's pulse and respiration rate, respectively. In one embodiment, all of these sensors are mounted to a portion of the mouthpiece adjacent the patient's inner gum. In another embodiment the sensors are mounted to a portion of the mouthpiece which underlies the patient's tongue.

International Classification:

A61M 100

US Classification:

128760

Abstract:

A fluid sampling chamber assembly having a housing, a chamber within the housing for temporary storage of sample fluid and a pair of special sensor walls on opposite sides of the chamber for engagement by ultrasonic sensor probes. The sampling chamber is trough-shaped with an open top for both receipt and discharge of sample fluid. An inlet and outlet of the chamber housing are continuously open.

International Classification:

B65H 1702

US Classification:

242 55

Abstract:

Strip material coming from a letoff position is wound on a supply reel by rotating the reel while at the same time providing axial movement of the reel relative to the letoff. The axial movement is stopped for a predetermined period of time when the strip reaches an end portion of the reel and before the relative axial movement is reversed to form another layer on the reel to provide a supporting edge surface for other layers and reduce the induced curl in the strip material. Each successive layer of strip material may be of a shorter length to provide a pyramid configuration to maintain the position of the windings. This method may be controlled by a microprocessor programmed with a basic sequence which can be altered by the operator to set the number of base layers, the number of pyramid layers and the duration of the interval during which there is no relative axial movement of the shell and the letoff at the end of each pass on the supply reel.

Abstract:

A scrub sponge comprising, a packet having a rupturable wall and a closed chamber containing a liquid scrub agent, and a cover of foam material having a cavity to receive the packet. The sponge has a puncture member intermediate the cover and the rupturable wall, with the puncture member having a projection facing toward the puncturable wall such that the projection pierces the puncturable wall when the puncture member is pressed toward the packet to release the scrub agent into the cover.
