ETV Corporations VisiTyre Battery-less Tire Pressure Monitoring System and NHTSA Legislation are Hot Topics at SAE 2005 in Detroit
Sydney, Australia (ContentDesk) June 3, 2005 -- As one of the few interactive displays at this years SAE World Congress and the only TPMS technology company in attendance, VisiTyre drew a continuous stream of industry delegates to their Australian Trade Delegation booth, where a real time demonstration system highlighted the system's ability to immediately report pressures and temperatures of all four wheels plus the spare continuously from the moment of ignition, whether the tires were stationary or rotating. "The VisiTyre Inductive Coupling Technology provides a real solution for many of the contentious safety issues of the Final Rule of the TREAD ACT '' commented Phil Cohen, ETV's Chief Technical Officer, "TPMS disablement by tire replacement is just not an issue with VisiTyre technology, it is inherently transparent to all replacement tires regardless of ferrous or carbon content".VisiTyre utilises electromagnetic inductive coupling to create a ?power in - data out' non contact communication channel to each of the vehicles wheel sensors, dispensing with the need for wheel module batteries and the unsatisfactory Radio Frequency communication channel of alternative systems. It is this use of RF technology with its limited power density due to the sensor batteries and associated radio path interference problems that creates the inability for these systems to operate through the vehicle's metallic components whilst the vehicle is stationary."The consensus of comments from engineers stopping at our SAE display, in regards to the Final Ruling, was that allowing up to 20 minutes after the vehicle has moved off into the traffic for the TPMS systems to report to the driver, couldn't possibly be regarded as a safety system" said ETV Chief Operating Officer Gregg Eichhorn, "particularly as they were seeing our VisiTyre TPMS working in front of them on all five tyres, with and without wheel motion and as soon as the ignition powered up the system. Clearly NHTSA has got it wrong if this is to be a safety system." With the availability of the VisiTyre inductive coupling technology, life should become much easier for the OEM and body electronics companies who are currently having to assess the most appropriate systems for implementation and compliance with the TREAD Act 2000 TPMS Mandate. NHTSA's Final Ruling, which if unchallenged, will come in to force in October 2005, requiring 20% of MY 2006 passenger vehicles to be integrated with TPMS..
2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
What's new for the 2006 Corvette Z06?First, the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette has been redesigned for the 2006-year model.
It has enhanced features, but in this article I want to tell you specifically about the Z06 features to this model.The Z06 is, of course, the fastest vette ever built.
It will have a 500 horsepower 427 cubic inch engine with lightweight components.
What does this mean in a 3130-pound car?
It means superior performance beyond all other Corvettes.
Estimated 0-60 in less than 4 seconds along with a sub 12-second quarter mile.
Top speed is reported to be more than 190 MPH (on a closed race track of course).What makes this new Corvette so much better?
Several components:
- 500-hp/475 lb.-ft torque
- 7000 RPM redline
- 11.0:1 Compression
- Titanium connecting rods
- Titanium intake valves and pushrods
- Hand built engine
- Dry sump lubrication
- Aluminum body structure
- Carbon fiber front fenders
- Magnesium...

Driving Through The Desert
It is important that you do take some time to check your vehicle before you actually go through a journey through the desert. This is because the excess heat on your vehicle could make it act up. Also, you would not want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere without any means of communicating for help to anyone.
If you are planning on driving through the desert to some location, automobile experts suggest that you inform somebody about your plans. Let them know when you are going, when you should be expected to return, as well as where is the exact location of your destination.
You should also get a full service tune up before you start on your voyage. You should also bring your car for service at least a week or two weeks before your planned trip. That way, if there are any things that need to be worked on, the personnel could start on it. While at it, have the personnel check your battery terminals for corrosion. If there are, these should...

Mazda MX 6: Shining Amidst A New Trend
Who does not know what a Mazda is? Mazda has certainly been one of the most popular and most recognized vehicle brands the world over. A person who has been living in a world where there are automobiles and vehicles and cars would certainly know what a Mazda is. This vehicle brand is probably very popular because of the type and kind of cars that they craft and produce. The vehicles are made of quality materials, are unique, and can really do perform well.
This vehicle company was founded in the year 1920.
It was known then as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd. and it was led by Jujiro Matsuda. The company's first products were machine tools, however it later on shifted to producing automobiles. The very first vehicle that they produced was the Mazda Go and it was done in 1931. Uniquely, unlike any other vehicle, the Mazda Go actually held only three wheels.
Even if the company has been producing vehicles since 1931, Mazda was only fully and officially...

The accurateness of dynamometers
At its simplest, a dynamometer is a means of measuring an engines power in Horsepower or Kilowatts.
Slightly more complex dynamometers can also give you a print out of your bike or cars BHP versus RPM and Torque versus RPM. This is achieved by running the back wheel (in the case of a bike) on a steel drum, at maximum power.
An engine dynamometer is a dyno attached directly to the engine. Engine dynamometers enable you to efficiently monitor performance parameters.
They are used by big car manufacturers, race engine builders, or formula one cars constructors, and allow for total access, control of all parameters and can simulate race conditions and more! Engine dynamometers are usually braked dynos, and they are not always very complex.
Some people have built very simple engine dynos for things like model aircraft engines, and kart engines.
These basically are just an engine driving a flywheel either directly...
