Tire testing device incorporating a pressure sensor, temperature sensor and oxygen sensor.U.S. patent: 6,779,392 Issued: August 24, 2004 Inventors: Colin Frederick Bell and John Martin Knotts Assigned: Newbow Aerospace Limited Key statement: For testing the tires of aircraft, includes a pressure sensor A pressure sensor measures the pressure, typically of gases or fluids. Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a gas or fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor generates a signal related to the pressure imposed. and a temperature sensor A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. to calculate effective pressure at a reference temperature, and an oxygen sensor An oxygen sensor is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under supervision by Dr. Günter Bauman. to determine oxygen content. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
