displaying information relevant to the sensed objects derived from at least the sensors/tags associated therewith, wherein the display is made visible on the dash board, and co-located with the sensed objects notwithstanding movement thereof on the wheels. communicating said detection signal between said tire sensory platform and said operator of a vehicle in at least a human voice auditory message/signal;
providing said voice auditory message in response to broadcasting the specific indication of contextual characteristics detected within the closed system, such as at least temperature change, pressure change, or rim corrosion. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)

68. A method of sensing pressure change and physical objects having electromagnetic elements associated therewith for detecting contextual characteristics influential to pressure change within a closed system as claimed in 67, wherein the detection method includes at least a detection platform, the method comprising the steps of:
-
embedding at least a sensor in a silicon substrate;
etching the silicon substrate in a micro-fibered material to form a sensory platform;
mounting the sensory platform on a tire of a wheel assembly and extending the said platform inwardly from the rim of the wheel assembly toward at least a tire of the wheel assembly such that the sensory platform detects and reports all the said contextual characteristics contained in the wheel assembly;
causing generation of at least one time-varying interrogation signal within the closed system, the at least one interrogation signal interacting with sensors/tags disposed on the platform surface within the closed system, the sensors/tags being configured to respond to the interrogation signal based on physical conditions of associated objects, wherein the physical conditions comprises at least one of a weight, a physical manipulation and an environmental condition;
receiving a signal indicative of the at least one interrogation signal as affected by the sensors/tags;
providing a dash board communication means;
forming at least one interrogation signal interacting with an electromagnetically actuation able tag disposed proximate to the dash board, the tag responding wireless to the at least one interrogation signal based on a physical condition associated with an object contained in the closed system;
receiving a signal indicative of the at least one interrogation signal as affected by the tag;
forming a display visible on the dash board and indicative of the physical condition associated with the object, the display remaining co-located with the object notwithstanding movement thereof relative to the dash board. based on the received signal, determining the physical condition for each of the objects within the closed system; and
communicating detection type wirelessly and displaying on the dash board the said detection type indicating the physical condition for each of the objects, the displays remaining co-located with the objects notwithstanding movement thereof in the tire. - View Dependent Claims (69)
