Title: Innovations by Benoit Julien A Debout
Introduction
Benoit Julien A Debout is a notable inventor based in Bastogne, Belgium. He has made significant contributions to the field of tire technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a tire data information system. This system includes at least one tire that supports a vehicle and a processor. At least one sensor is mounted on the tire and is in electronic communication with the processor. The sensor measures the temperature and pressure of the tire. A memory for storing tire identification information is also in electronic communication with the processor. A tire wear state estimator generates a wear state of the tire, while a tire wear rate estimator generates a wear rate of the tire. An antenna transmits the temperature, pressure, identification information, wear state, and wear rate of the tire to a display device accessible to the user of the vehicle. The display device includes indicators for showing the temperature, pressure, identification information, wear state, and wear rate to the user.
Another significant patent is for a tire with a sensor attachment reservoir and a method of attaching a sensor. This tire includes a pair of bead areas, a sidewall extending from each respective bead area to a tread, and a carcass extending toroidally between each of the bead areas. A compound ring is secured to the innerliner, defining a reservoir upon being secured to the innerliner. A sensor adhesive is disposed in the reservoir, and a sensor is secured to the tire innerliner by the sensor adhesive. This patent also includes a corresponding method of attaching a sensor to a tire.
