Abstract: A modular control system (500, 510) is disclosed for providing for modular control functions within vehicles. One embodiment of the modular control system (500) includes a driver interface unit (502) for controlling one or more air control units (504) through wireless communications. The air control units (504) can control functions such as air spring pressure, air spring height and the like. Another embodiment of the modular control system (510) uses a driver interface unit (512) for controlling air control units (518) through wire applications (514, 516).

Abstract: Suspension system for a vehicle is disclosed and claimed. The suspension system includes a compressible fluid, a suspension strut, a hydraulic cavity, a reservoir, and a volume modulator. The hydraulic cavity is at least partially defined by the suspension strut and is adapted to contain a portion of the compressible fluid. The hydraulic cavity and the compressible fluid supply a suspending spring force that biases a wheel of a vehicle toward the road surface. The volume modulator selectively pushes the compressible fluid into the hydraulic cavity and vents the compressible fluid from the hydraulic cavity, thereby actively modulating the suspending spring force.

Abstract: An integrated manifold system maximizes space for the circuit board while enabling efficient control of one or more pneumatic devices. The manifold system includes a manifold block, a solenoid valve attached to the manifold block, and a circuit board for controlling the solenoid and other components of an air suspension system. The manifold block includes at least one service port for connecting to a pneumatic device such as an air spring, and a supply port for connecting to a compressor. The solenoid valve is mounted to the manifold block with its longitudinal length being generally parallel to the service port. The circuit board is mounted adjacent to the solenoid valve and oriented generally parallel to the solenoid and service port. A cover encloses the solenoid valve and the circuit board. In one embodiment, the solenoid valve is in fluid communication with the supply port. The solenoid valve is uniquely associated with the service port.

Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid actuated damper. At least a first and a second cylinder with the first cylinder positioned axially within the second cylinder are provided. A gap is formed between the cylinders. The second cylinder is mounted to a stationary mount of the vehicle chassis and a control arm is mounted at an end of the first cylinder. The first cylinder is mounted on bearings to allow it to rotate relative to the chassis. The gap between the cylinders contains a magnetorheological fluid having an adjustable viscosity in reaction to the application of a magnetic field. A magnetic field is generated over the fluid in the gap.
