    Abstract: A method and system for measuring a load on a tire while the vehicle traveling that include a microprocessor, a tire pressure sensor that is fixed to the tire, and an electromechanical sensor that is fixed to a point on the tire. The electromechanical sensor generates a beginning signal when the point begins to be part of the flat tire contact patch of the tire with the ground, and an ending signal when this point ceases to be part of the patch. The microprocessor calculates the patch contact time period, calculates the flat tire contact patch length from the radius of the tire and the ratio between the patch contact time period and the complete tire rotation period, and calculates the load on the tire from the tire pressure as measured by the pressure sensor and the length of the flat tire contact patch.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic energy harvester for converting vibrations of a body to electricity that includes a coil with two ends that is wound along a longitudinal axis of a ferromagnetic core, a magnet, and a suspending device that its first end is designed to be fixed to the body and its second end is designed to be fixed to the magnet. The first end of the core is design to be at close proximity to the magnet and the longitudinal axis of the core is designed to be substantially aligned vertically to the magnetic axis of the magnet. The vibrations of the body can cause a relative alternating movement between the core and the magnet that can create alternating voltage between the ends of the coil.

    Abstract: A tire system for a tire mounted on a wheel of a vehicle that includes a chassis, a light source, a light sensor, a data transmission unit, and a processing unit. The chassis is attached to the inner side of the tire, the light source and the light sensor are attached to the chassis so that when the light source illuminates at a specific area on the inner side of the tire the returning light is detected by the light sensor that produce a signal based on changes in intensity of the detected light that reflect frequencies and amplitudes of vibrations of the tire or bends of the tire. Based on the signal the processing unit detects characteristics of the contact area of the tire with the road, a type of the road the vehicle is traveling on, a degree of wear of the tire, or a size of load on the wheel.

    Abstract: A device for converting mechanical energy to electrical energy that include a mechanical device comprising a seismic mass flexibly connected to a base by at least one spring, a mechano-electric transducer that is associated with the mechanical device for converting mechanical energy of the seismic mass to electric energy, and an electric circuit that is connected to the mechano-electric transducer in a way that electric current is generated in the electric circuit when the seismic mass moves relative to the base. The mechano-electric transducer is designed to adjust a force that the mechano-electric transducer can exert on the mechanical device and by that to control the conversion level of the mechanical energy to the electrical energy.
