Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016060488
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that can automatically monitor wear of parts on a vehicle.SOLUTION: A system monitors wear of a vehicle part. The system includes a piezoelectric disk electrically connected to a radio frequency circuit to receive electrical current from the piezoelectric disk and an antenna for actively transmitting a signal from the radio frequency circuit to a microprocessor such that, when the piezoelectric disk contacts a surface through wear, the radio frequency circuit actively generates a signal received by the microprocessor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
