The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having an alloy film innerliner with a rubber reinforced spliced overlapping ends.

A bead core manufacturing apparatus (1) comprises an annular former (4) having an outer peripheral surface (40) on which a bead wire (w) is woundable into a bead core. The former (4) comprises a set of segments (41), which are divided circumferentially of the former, and which have radially outer surfaces collectively forming the outer peripheral surface (40). The segments (41) are movable in respective radial directions of the former so that the outer peripheral surface (40) has plural outside diameters, and a bead wire can be wound into plural kinds of bead cores having different inside diameters.

A laminate which is obtained by providing a layer of an adhesive composition, wherein an epoxy-modified elastomer is blended, between a film of a thermoplastic resin or thermoplastic elastomer composition and a layer of a rubber composition, and in which the adhesion between the film and the layer of a rubber composition is further improved. This laminate is characterized in that: the adhesive composition contains a tackifying agent, a vulcanization accelerator, an elastomer and an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic carboxylic acid having a pKa of 1.5-4.0; 50-100% by mass of the elastomer is an epoxy-modified elastomer; and the amount of the aromatic carboxylic acid is 0.5-5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the elastomer.

Disclosed is an inner liner for a pneumatic tire, the inner liner including no less than 8 resin-layers, the resin-layer having a layer A constituted with a resin composition containing a gas barrier resin, and a layer B constituted with a resin composition containing an elastomer, at least one of the resin compositions included in the layer A and the layer B that are adjacent with each other containing a metal salt, the content of the metal salt being no less than 1 ppm and no greater than 10,000 ppm in terms of metal element equivalent, and an interlayer adhesive force between the layer A and the layer B being no less than 500 g/15 mm. The layer A and the layer B are preferably alternately laminated.

A process for applying particles to the inner wall of a tire comprising two sidewalls, a crown provided radially externally with a tread, a carcass-type reinforcing structure and at least one crown reinforcement, the inner surface of the sidewalls and of the crown forming an inner wall, at least one portion of said inner wall being covered with at least one layer of self-sealing composition. The particles are applied after the curing of the tire.

A pneumatic tire is vulcanized by using a bladder provided with a coating layer formed by a release agent, and the release agent has a thickness, detected by an electron microscope, of 0.1 m to 100 m on an inner surface of a tread portion 1.

The inner liner is composed of a polymer layer stack including a first layer containing an SIBS and a second layer containing at least one of an SIS and an SIB. At least one of the first layer and the second layer is a polymer composition containing one of a C4 polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer unit having 4 carbon atoms, a layered clay mineral with an organic compound intercalated therein and at least one kind of rubber component selected from the group consisting of a natural rubber, an isoprene rubber and a butyl rubber. The second layer is arranged to come into contact with a rubber layer of the carcass ply. The inner liner has a thickness Ge at a shoulder position Pe exceeding 100% and being less than or equal to 500% of a thickness Gc at a crown central position Pc.

Techniques for managing risks with continuous queries are provided. In some examples, a selection of a data object enabled to provide a real-time stream of business event data may be received. The selection may be received by a user associated with the business event data. Additionally, a continuous query language query may be generated. The query may be configured to monitor the real-time stream of business event data for a first metric. In some examples, the a risk indicator associated with a second metric that affects the first metric may be identified. Output events of a pre-existing continuous query language query may be listened to. Further, a real-time visualization of the first metric and/or the second metric may be provided.

Provided is an air permeation resistant film in which flexibility can be imparted to the film without remarkably increasing the proportion of a rubber constituting a dispersed phase. An air permeation resistant film comprising (A) a thermoplastic polyester elastomer which comprises a block copolymer containing a polyester as a hard segment and has a melting point of from 180 to 230 C., and (B) a rubber, in a mass ratio (A)/(B) of from 90/10 to 40/60, wherein the component (A) and the component (B) are melt-kneaded to perform dynamic crosslink, thereby forming a continuous phase composed of the component (A) and a dispersed phase composed of the component (B), and the film has an air permeation coefficient at 80 C. of 510.sup.13 fm.sup.2/Pa.Math.s or less and Young's modulus of 120 MPa or less.

Techniques for implementing the hybrid execution of continuous and scheduled queries are provided. In some examples, a query engine may be initialized with relational data from at least a first source. For example, the first source may include a database or other system that can provide historical data. Additionally, the query engine may be enabled to provide query results based at least in part on the relational data from at least the first source and streaming data from at least a second source. In some examples, the second source may be a data stream.
