SPARE TIRE INFLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18187920 titled 'SPARE TIRE INFLATION
The abstract of the patent application describes a system that includes a computer with a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions for the processor to actuate a compressor to maintain a spare tire of a vehicle in an uninflated state. When data indicating low pressure in an operating tire of the vehicle is received, the compressor is actuated to inflate the spare tire.
- The system involves a computer with a processor and memory.
- Instructions stored in memory allow the processor to control a compressor for the spare tire.
- The spare tire is kept uninflated until low pressure in an operating tire is detected.
- Upon detecting low pressure, the compressor inflates the spare tire to ensure vehicle safety.
- This innovation provides a proactive solution for maintaining tire pressure in vehicles.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety and maintenance. - Tire pressure monitoring systems for commercial and consumer vehicles.
Problems Solved: - Ensures vehicle safety by maintaining proper tire pressure. - Provides a proactive solution for handling tire pressure issues.
Benefits: - Improves overall vehicle safety. - Reduces the risk of accidents due to tire pressure issues. - Enhances the convenience of tire maintenance for vehicle owners.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Tire Pressure Maintenance System for Vehicles" This technology can be used in automotive manufacturing for integrating smart tire pressure maintenance systems into vehicles, enhancing their safety features and market appeal.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system differ from traditional tire pressure monitoring systems?
- This system proactively maintains tire pressure by inflating the spare tire when low pressure is detected, unlike traditional systems that only provide alerts.
2. What are the potential cost savings for vehicle owners with this technology?
- Vehicle owners can save on potential repair costs and improve fuel efficiency by ensuring proper tire pressure maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to actuate a compressor to maintain a spare tire of a vehicle in an uninflated state and, upon receiving data indicating a low pressure of an operating tire of the vehicle, actuate the compressor to inflate the spare tire.
