I think that the following, patented last month, was suggested to us many months ago by one of our members! Was it you, Dan? Cheers, RichardW.

Transponder and sensor apparatus for sensing and transmitting vehicle tire parameter data
Lee, Jr., James E.; Kulka, Harvey J.; Schramm, John H.
Computer Methods Corporation
A transponder and sensor apparatus with on-board power supply is mounted in or on a
vehicle tire. A pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and a tire rotation sensor are mounted
in a housing along with the transponder, the power supply and an antenna. Upon receiving
an interrogation signal from a remote interrogator, the transponder activates the sensors to
sense tire pressure and temperature and then backscatter-modulates the radio frequency
signal from the interrogator with the tire condition parameter data from the sensors to
return the backscatter modulated signal to the interrogator.
