	Pneumatic tire for use when deflated - Patent 4057092
		When a conventional pneumatic tire is inflated, the inflation pressure forces the beads against the inside edges or flanges and the bead seat of the rim, thus keeping the beads seated against the rim, thereby maintaining tire stability.
		Conventional rubber compositions are used to form the tread and sidewall portions of the tire and the air-retaining inner liner.
		The rubber used in the tire can be the same as used in conventional tires, in which case the elastic rubber of the sidewall portions could be an SBR rubber with a Shore A durometer hardness in the range of 40 to 80.

	No. 05-1425: Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. v. NLRB - Opposition
		Finding that all issues relevant to the unfair labor practice complaint were or could have been liti gated in the representation proceeding, the Board granted the General Counsel's motion for summary judgment, found that petitioner's refusal to bargain with the Union violated the Act, and ordered petitioner to bargain with the Union.
		The Hearing Officer's refusal to find that General Manager Todd Lemke's statement that employees could "count on" a 6.2% ROAM bonus for 2002 payable in mid to late February constituted a repudiation of any previously implied threat in Q and A #22 that employees could lose the 2002 ROAM bonus that they had already earned.
		General Fabrications Corp., supra, the court agreed with the Board that an employer's statement that any bargaining would begin "at zero" was coercive because it was made in the context of other unfair labor practices and an overriding "atmosphere of anti-union animus." 222 F.3d at 230-231.
