Title: Innovations by William P Job
Introduction
William P Job is an accomplished inventor based in Armada, MI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of automotive technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a "Flexible wheel speed sensor external to capped wheel bearing." This invention involves a wheel assembly for a non-driven wheel that includes a rotating wheel hub with a shaft portion supporting a bearing inner race. A magnetic encoder is mounted for rotation with the shaft portion, while a non-rotating component radially surrounds the shaft portion and has a bearing outer race. A cap is secured to the non-rotating component, covering the outer and inner races, the shaft portion, and the magnetic encoder inboard of the races to seal the inboard side. A sensor is mounted to a non-rotating vehicle steering member externally to the cap, configured to deflect and maintain continuous contact with the cap's outer surface to read the magnetic encoder without extending through the cap.
Another notable patent is for the "Autolocation of wireless tire pressure monitoring sensors." This tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for vehicles includes multiple tire pressure sensors that wirelessly transmit respective sensor signals. A wireless receiver is designed to receive and process these signals, with its location biased toward the fore or aft of the vehicle. The wireless receiver features an adjustable sensitivity setting that accommodates both key fob mode and TPMS mode. One operating method involves wirelessly receiving sensor signals, determining respective received signal strength (RSS) values, and processing these values to identify whether the signals were transmitted by a fore or aft tire pressure sensor.
