An assembly determines operating parameters of a tire. The assembly includes a tripod sensor mounted within an inner cavity of the tire underneath a crown portion and an innerliner on which the tripod sensor is mounted. The tripod sensor includes a tri-axial accelerometer for creating a circumferential signal for determining slip ratio, a lateral signal for determining a slip angle, and a radial signal for determining load on the tire.

A support assembly for a vehicle travels along a road surface and rotates relative to the road surface and the vehicle. The first support assembly includes a spherical tread layer for contacting the road surface, a foam layer adjacent the spherical tread layer, the foam layer including adjustable elements for altering an outer physical contour of the spherical tread layer, the outer physical contour contacting the road surface, a spherical wheel/tire for supporting the spherical tread layer and the vehicle, and a drive system magnetically driving rotation of the spherical wheel/tire relative to the vehicle such that no portion of the spherical tread layer physically contacts the vehicle.

Spherical wheel/tire assembly

The present application relates to a tire () comprising a tread portion () and sidewalls () terminating with beads, with inner sides defining an annular cavity; a deformable structure () located in the annular cavity in contact with the inner side of the tread portion (), said structure () comprising bendable elements (); wherein the bendable elements () of the deformable structure () comprise a piezoelectric material () so as to produce electrical energy from bending of said elements () and comprise at least one thermoelectric material () so as to produce electrical energy from heat of said elements.
