According to an announcement released by SmarTire Systems Inc., they have just recently filed an application for a patent in the country. Their patent would be for the external valve sensor which can be actually used in the previously mentioned tire pressure monitoring system.
He even further adds, "SmarTire's external valve sensors will reduce the installation costs of tire pressure monitoring systems and enable faster implementation for large fleets during retrofit in the aftermarket. Although our current products are well received at the OEM level and in fleet trials, market research indicated that a percentage of the commercial vehicle market would be slower to adopt tire pressure monitoring systems without this complimentary solution." The company does say that this new invention of theirs would actually be able to help those commercial drivers be able to make productive use of their time. And for those who are interested in this product, you would do have to wait up until the second quarter of next year for this is when they would be entering the market for sale.
On behalf of the company, Warkentin does conclude, "We are pleased to be the first to introduce this technological milestone. It is the result of extensive industry collaboration and product development that builds on our existing technology. Adding this to our patent portfolio is in line with our goal to build and protect the intellectual property that forms the basis for our products. Patent production will help us maintain and extend our dominance in this market."
