Conductive pathways in tire treads for reduced static charge buildup.U.S. patent: 7,029,544 Issued: April 18, 2006 Inventors: Joseph M. Lanzarotta, William J. O'Briskie and John F. Pawlikowski Assigned: Bridgestone Firestone fire·stone n. 1. A flint or pyrite used to strike a fire. 2. A fire-resistant stone, such as certain sandstones. Noun 1. North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Tire, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control Key statement: At least one conductive pathway extends through the tread surface and contacts the tread cushion. Conductive pathways are created by introducing small volumes of high carbon black and provide low electrical resistance Electrical resistance Opposition of a circuit to the flow of electric current. Ohm's law states that the current I flowing in a circuit is proportional to the applied potential difference V. and dissipation of static charge accumulation on a motor vehicle. |
