Title: Keiji Oda: Innovator in Tire Technology
Introduction
Keiji Oda is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of tire technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches have led to advancements in tire measurement and management systems.
Latest Patents
One of Oda's latest patents is a tread thickness measuring method. This method accurately measures the tread thickness from the radially outermost belt surface within a tire to the tread surface using ultrasonic measurement, regardless of the type of belt material. The process involves measuring the tread surface profile, identifying the bottom positions of circumferentially extending grooves, estimating depths from groove bottoms to the belt surface, and predicting thicknesses based on pre-created tire design data. Additionally, it sets amplification factors for received reflected waves according to a reflection factor-thickness data map.
Another notable patent is the tire state variables management system. This invention allows an external module to reliably receive data from a specific sensor module when a command signal is transmitted. Each sensor module has a self-identifying code, ensuring that data is transmitted only when the command signal matches the sensor module's code. This innovation enhances the reliability of data acquisition in tire management.
