Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, systems for enhanced tracking of tire tread wear are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a tire monitoring sensor (TMS) detects a tread wear reporting event, generates tread wear data including at least a rotational time period, and transmits the tread wear data to a vehicle control system (VCS). The rotational time period may be a measure of time the tire takes to complete a particular number of revolutions. The VCS receives, from the TMS, the tread wear data including at least the rotational time period, determines a current circumference of the tire based on at least the rotational time period, and determines a tread wear value based on at least the current circumference.

Abstract: Fault breaking contactors are disclosed. In an embodiment, an electromechanical switching device includes one or more terminals; a moveable contact; and an actuator assembly for moving the moveable contact between a closed position in which the moveable contact contacts the one or more terminals and an open position in which an air gap is maintained between the moveable contact and the one or more terminals; and a dynamic air gap mechanism configured to increase the air gap beyond that of the closed position in response to a fault current.

Abstract: A tire monitor includes a sensor generating tire data and a plurality of control modules having phase locked loop circuits. The control modules generate output signals carrying the tire data. A first of the control modules is configured to generate first output signals having a first frequency and according to a first protocol. A second of the control modules is configured to generate second output signals having a second frequency and according to a second protocol. In examples, the output signal can be transmitted in parallel to different computing systems.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for wheel theft detection and notification using a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, wheel theft detection and notification using a TPMS includes monitoring, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle, one or more parameters associated with a tire monitoring sensor (TMS) coupled to a wheel assembly of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the ECU determines, based on the monitored one or more parameters, that the wheel assembly is in a compromised state associated with the wheel assembly being dislocated from the vehicle or in danger of being dislocated from the vehicle. In response to determining that the wheel assembly is in the compromised state, the ECU triggers an alarm of a vehicle security system.
