Goodyear racing tires are designed and compounded solely for racing purposes and are not tested or labeled to meet FMVSS/ECE Regulations. It is therefore not only dangerous, but also illegal to sell for use or use race tires on public streets or highways. Pressure Recommendations Consult your Goodyear Racing Tire Distributor for specific recommendations for your local track. Tire changing should be done by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. NEVER attempt to install and inflate a tire of one diameter on a rim or wheel of another diameter. All Goodyear racing tires are designed to be used on wheels or rims that are manufactured to Tire and Rim Association (T&RA) specifications and tolerances. Use of Goodyear racing tires on damaged or improper rims can cause the assembly to explode with force sufficient to cause injury or death. When inflating, always lock wheel on mounting machine or place in safety cage and use extension gauge and hose with clip on air chuck. STAND BACK. NEVER EXCEED 35 PSI TO SEAT BEADS. Tire Care Goodyear racing tires should not be stored near high temperatures, in direct sunlight, around welding areas, in overhead garage areas or around high-voltage electric motors.

  • Tire Test Data: Using MI for Product/Process Improvement
    Tire Test Data: Using MI for Product/Process Improvement Advances in acquiring, storing, and reporting measurements from equipment in the final finish department have created the ability for tire manufacturers to actively monitor their end product for statistically relevant trends that can point to upstream product, machine, and process issues. Today’s high-end testing equipment can collect increasing amounts of more accurate data in even faster cycle times than before. This is changing the requirements that manufacturers have for their data infor- mation systems. Historically, to evaluate a tire uniformity machine waveform metric like radial force variation it was sufficient to calculate and store basic measurements (like peak-to-peak and the magnitudes from the first few harmonics). Not only do these harmonics make the largest contributions to problems with the ride of the tire, but they are also traceable to established upstream causes in curing and tire assembly. Now, manufacturers are interested in much higher harmonics of a waveform, looking for additional improvements in curing and tire assembly and even potential improvements in component preparation. But while these advances have continued to provide a greater data volume for evaluation of product and process, analysis efforts have been concentrated on increasing available data and reporting production trends through the use of traditional tools like tabular / SPC (Statistical Process Control) graphic reports and spreadsheets. The consequence of this focus has not allowed tire manufacturing quality analysis to keep pace with Business Intelligence (BI) technology developed specifically for and proven effective by analysts in the retail and financial industries. This trend is reminiscent of the slow movement of computers to the factory floor following their introduction to the "top floor" financial departments of business and industry during the 1980s.

This statute required the disestablishment of the Department of Defense's wholesale supply, storage and distribution functions for tires. As a result, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded the Tire Privatization Initiative (TPI) contracts to industry for privatized supply chain and materiel support of the government’s demand for aircraft and ground tires. TSI is the follow on contract and will provide tire support for the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy and Foreign Military Services (FMS). The TSI Program consists of the TSI Contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and multiple tire providers (manufacturers/dealers). The TSI Contractor will provide logistical support services, global demand planning and forecasting, order processing and fulfillment, purchasing (from government-directed sources/LTCs), finance and inventory management, CONUS storage and warehouse operations management, CONUS distribution and transportation, packaging, obsolescence management, data management, and customer support services.

  • A Comparison of Video Formats for Online Teaching Ross A
    Contemporary Issues in Education Research – First Quarter 2017 Volume 10, Number 1 A Comparison Of Video Formats For Online Teaching Ross A. Malaga, Montclair State University, USA Nicole B. Koppel, Montclair State University, USA ABSTRACT The use of video to deliver content to students online has become increasingly popular. However, educators are often plagued with the question of which format to use to deliver asynchronous video material. Whether it is a College or University committing to a common video format or an individual instructor selecting the method that works best for his or her course, this research presents a comparison of various video formats that can be applied to online education and provides guidance in which one to select. Keywords: Online Teaching; Video Formats; Technology Acceptance Model INTRODUCTION istance learning is one of the most talked-about topics in higher education today. Online and hybrid (or blended) learning removes location and time-bound constraints of the traditional college classroom to a learning environment that can occur anytime or anywhere in a global environment. DAccording to research by the Online Learning Consortium, over 5 million students took an online course in the Fall 2014 semester. This represents an increase in online enrollment of over 3.9% in just one year. In 2014, 28% of higher education students took one or more courses online (Allen, I. E. and Seaman, J, 2016). With this incredible growth, albeit slower than the growth in previous years, institutions of higher education are continuing to increase their online course and program offerings. As such, institutions need to find easy to develop, easy to use, reliable, and reasonably priced technologies to deliver online content.

  • A Technical Survey on Tire-Road Friction Estimation
    Friction 5(2): 123–146 (2017) ISSN 2223-7690 DOI 10.1007/s40544-017-0151-0 CN 10-1237/TH REVIEW ARTICLE A technical survey on tire-road friction estimation Seyedmeysam KHALEGHIAN1,*, Anahita EMAMI2, Saied TAHERI1 1 Center for Tire Research (CenTiRe), Department of Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, United States 2 Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, United States Received: 23 September 2016 / Revised: 04 November 2016 / Accepted: 24 January 2017 © The author(s) 2017. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract: Lack of driver’s knowledge about the abrupt changes in pavement’s friction and poor performance of the vehicle’s stability, traction, and ABS controllers on the low friction surfaces are the most important factors affecting car crashes. Due to its direct relation to vehicle stability, accurate estimation of tire-road friction is of interest to all vehicle and tire companies. Many studies have been conducted in this field and researchers have used different tools and have proposed different algorithms. This literature survey introduces different approaches, which have been widely used to estimate the friction or other related parameters, and covers the recent literature that contains these methodologies. The emphasize of this review paper is on the algorithms and studies, which are more popular and have been repeated several times. The focus has been divided into two main groups: experiment-based and model-based approaches. Each of these main groups has several sub-categories, which are explained in the next few sections. Several summary tables are provided in which the overall feature of each approach is reviewed that gives the reader the general picture of different algorithms, which are widely used in friction estimation studies.

    Keep AC3 5.1 Audio Track of DRM‐ed iTunes Videos TunesKit for Mac For Windows Buy Resource Tutorial Support Retain AC3 5.1 Audio Track When Removing DRM from iTunes Movies Posted by Nick Orin on July 25, 2014 05:20:10 PM. Q: I like to rent movies and TV shows from iTunes cause most of them are provided with built‐in AC3 5.1 surround audio which makes watching a great experience. And I would much prefer to watch the films in my HD TV than in PCs due to the incredible visual and sound effects. I'm wondering if there is any way to get the DRM‐protected iTunes rentals converted while keeping the 5.1 audio track so that I can freely enjoy them in my home cinema whenever I like? Convert iTunes DRM‐ed Videos with 5.1 Audio Track Preserved When we rent or purchase movies from iTunes Store, we usually like to choose those with Dolby 5.1 tracks ﴾also known as AC3 audio﴿ for more amazing sound effects. Watching those iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 surround sound makes us feel like we are in cinema. But as we know, iTunes movies and TV shows with 5.1 audio, no matter rented or purchased, are all locked by FairPlay DRM, due to which we can't directly copy them into media playing devices other than Apple's for watching. Although we can use some iTunes DRM video converter tools to get rid of the FairPlay restriction from the movies, it always ends up with losing original 5.1 audio tracks in the output unprotected video files.
