Abstract: A shock absorber has a pressure tube, a piston slidably disposed in the pressure tube and a piston rod attached to the piston and extending out of the pressure tube. The end of the piston rod extending out of the pressure tube defines a contoured surface which can be engaged to prohibit rotation of the piston rod. In one embodiment the contoured surface is defined by an inner surface of a bore. In another embodiment, the contoured surface is defined by an exterior surface of an extension to the piston rod.

Abstract: A shock absorber include a cylinder, a piston rod coupled to the cylinder, and a piston coupled to the piston rod. The piston rod is magnetically encoded so that it includes a plurality of magnetic phase shifts. The phase shifts allow the position of the piston rod relative to the cylinder to be determined so that it can function as a displacement sensor.

Abstract: An integrated tagging system for an electronically controlled shock absorber having a shock absorber with damping characteristics unique to the shock absorber. An electronic control module is in electronic communication with the shock absorber for controlling the shock absorber. A memory device is integrally formed with the shock absorber and is in electronic communication with the electronic control module. The memory device stores calibration data containing the damping characteristics of the shock absorber and stores a unique identification number. The electronic control module accesses the memory device and reads the calibration data and the unique identification number in order to control the shock absorber.

Abstract: A method for controlling a shock absorber system of a vehicle that includes a plurality of controlled shock absorbers linearizes the system. The method includes transforming original control inputs of the shock absorbers into virtual damper force input signals based on a bilinear damper characteristic. The system dynamics are then decoupled into modal components using static decoupling matrices, and the system is controlled with a linear decentralized controller.

Abstract: An exhaust muffler with a single-wall shell having a first end and a second end features a plurality of embossments formed on the shell and extending from the first end of the muffler to the second end of the muffler. The embossments are arranged in a pattern such that any straight line extending from the first end to the second end intersects at least one of the embossments, thereby imparting increased stiffness to the muffler shell. Each of the embossments preferably have an elliptical shape and are arranged in rows extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the muffler. The embossments in any given row are rotated ninety degrees from the embossments in preceding and succeeding rows and are spaced to provide an interlocking pattern.

Abstract: A clamp, adapter and travel limiter assembly couples first and second exhaust devices. The assembly comprises an adapter including a hollow body portion including a first end configured to be fixed to the first exhaust device. The adapter includes a portion extending from the hollow body portion. A clamp removably couples the first and second exhaust devices to one another. The clamp is coupled to the adapter via a travel limiter. The clamp remains movable relative to the adapter after the clamp is coupled to the adapter.

Abstract: An exhaust assembly includes a first tailpipe having an exit end and a curved portion along at least a portion of a length of the first tailpipe. The exhaust assembly further includes a baffle surrounding the first tailpipe at the exit end and defining a plurality of perforations therethrough. The exhaust assembly further includes a pair of shields. Each shield is attached to and at least partially surrounds each of the baffle and the first tailpipe. Each shield extends from a first end proximal to the exit end of the first tailpipe to a second end distal to the exit end of the first tailpipe. Each shield engages the baffle at the first end and engages the first tailpipe at least at or proximal to the second end. The pair of shields is adapted to allow fluid flow to or from the plurality of perforations of the baffle.

Abstract: A damper includes a piston arranged in sliding engagement inside a pressure tube. The piston divides the pressure tube into a first working chamber and a second working chamber. A hydraulic compression stop assembly is positioned within the second working chamber and includes a plunger arranged in sliding engagement with a sleeve. The plunger includes a bumper cavity having a side wall. The bumper cavity extends a cavity depth from an end face of the plunger. The bumper cavity is in receipt of a compliant bumper. The bumper includes a bumper height greater than the cavity depth such that a portion of the bumper protrudes from the bumper cavity. The protruding bumper portion limits a maximum amount the bumper may be compressed before the sidewall is loaded by one of the piston and a piston rod.
