An adhesive system comprises a carrier and an adhesive for attaching objects, such as a wiring harness, to a support surface, such as the structure of a motor vehicle, aircraft or appliance. The adhesive system features two end portions and a strap portion. An opening in one end portion is configured to receive the other end portion. The opening has a width normal to the longitudinal axis of the carrier that is configured to receive the strap portion of the carrier to define a loop. The carrier may be configured so that the loop maintains a closed condition about an object. Pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on one side of the end portions allows the carrier to be securely attached to a support surface.

An mileage communication system for a vehicle, such as a trailer, is disclosed. Mileage data is communicated to a processor by a sensor. The processor calculates cumulative mileage and encodes the mileage data into a code, such as an ON-OFF code, that is capable of being communicated to an output device. The vehicle operator may activate a user interface that is capable of generating a request signal to be sent to the processor. Upon receipt of the request signal, the processor communicates the code to the output device. In response to the code from the processor, the output device communicates a visual or audible signal, such as an ON-OFF signal, that is capable of being received by the vehicle operator or other user. The signal corresponds to the cumulative mileage data.

Mileage information display system

A tone ring preferably for use in a braking system of a vehicle has a first pattern of excitation indicative of speed of rotation of the tone ring, and a second pattern of excitation including frequency variations that is indicative of direction of rotation of the tone ring. The tone ring is rotated past a sensor, preferably a 2-wire passive sensor. A series of events are sensed during rotation of the tone ring past the sensor. The timing of occurrence of the events is detected and, on the basis of the timing detection, the direction of rotation of the tone ring is determined.
