SPARE TIRE INFLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240316998 titled 'SPARE TIRE INFLATION
The abstract of the patent application describes a system that utilizes a computer with a processor and memory to control a compressor for maintaining a spare tire of a vehicle in an uninflated state. When data indicates low pressure in an operating tire, the compressor is activated to inflate the spare tire.
- Simplified Explanation:
- The system uses a computer to control a compressor for the spare tire of a vehicle. - The spare tire is kept uninflated until low pressure is detected in an operating tire. - When low pressure is detected, the compressor inflates the spare tire.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes a computer system to monitor tire pressure and control inflation of the spare tire. - Prevents the need for manual inflation of the spare tire in case of low pressure in an operating tire. - Enhances safety and convenience for drivers by ensuring a properly inflated spare tire is readily available.
- Potential Applications:
- Automotive industry for vehicles with spare tires. - Tire pressure monitoring systems. - Emergency roadside assistance services.
- Problems Solved:
- Eliminates the need for manual inflation of spare tire during emergencies. - Improves overall safety on the road by ensuring a functional spare tire is available.
- Benefits:
- Increased convenience for drivers. - Enhanced safety on the road. - Reduction in potential delays due to flat tires.
- Commercial Applications:
- Tire manufacturers. - Automotive service centers. - Roadside assistance companies.
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does the system differentiate between low pressure in an operating tire and normal pressure fluctuations? - The system likely uses sensors to detect specific pressure thresholds that indicate low pressure in an operating tire.
2. Can the system be integrated into existing tire pressure monitoring systems? - Yes, the system can likely be integrated with existing systems to enhance their functionality.
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.
