MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517133088 A) filed by Whilx Technologies Ltd., Bnei Brak, Israel, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'device and method for controlling a pressure level in a wheel.'
Inventor(s) include Kantor, Roi Gil; Raudnitz, Guy; and Aloni, Yuval.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Devices and methods which dynamically adjust tire pressure using pressure reserves stored and actively maintained within the inflated space of the tire/wheel assembly. In some examples, pressure reserves are stored by pumping gas into tanks and/or expandable envelopes mounted the circumference of the wheel. In some examples, the pumps themselves, and optionally power reserves and/or power generating devices are also positioned within the inflated space of the tire/wheel assembly. Optionally, pressurization is in stages, e.g., from a mid-pressure level in expandable envelopes up to a maximum pressure level in the tanks. Optionally volumes containing stored elevated pressures and/or partially evacuated pressures of gas are dynamically valved in response to operating conditions and events, allowing rapid pressure adjustment."
The patent application was internationally filed on May 30, 2024, under International application No.PCT/IL2024/050534.
