Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire comprises circumferentially-spaced support elements joined together by an inter-connection structure with the interposition of flexible joints, so as to ensure good overall operation.
Other new features include flexible joint support that lets multiple hinges share loads equally, yielding more consistent results; nonlinear springs and dampers such as those on automobile shock absorbers; and the ability to compare results between different simulations.
Other Products--Hyaluronic acid products like Hyalgan and Synvisc mimic a naturally occurring body substance that lubricates the knee joint and permits flexible joint movement without pain.
