Abstract
A monitor for telemetering data such as temperature or pressure from a vehicle tire or the like including a transducer responsive to the data; a processor responsive to the transducer; and a transmitter responsive to the processor for transmitting the processed electrical signal to a remote location where the transducer, processor and transmitter are disposed on a single integrated circuit. Various techniques for mounting the transducer and for encoding the telemetered signal are also disclosed.
Claims6
An integrated circuit monitor for telemetering data such as temperature or pressure from a vehicle tire comprising
