摘要： 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.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed that assist a user in performing proper setup of a vehicle suspension. A user may utilize a device equipped with an image sensor to assist the user in proper setup of a vehicle suspension. The device executes an application that prompts the user for input and instructs the user to perform a number of steps for adjusting the suspension components. In one embodiment, the application does not communicate with sensors on the vehicle. In another embodiment, the application may communicate with various sensors located on the vehicle to provide feedback to the device during the setup routine. In one embodiment, the device may analyze a digital image of a suspension component to provide feedback about a physical characteristic of the component.

摘要： A modular electronic damping control system is described and includes a damping component located at a vehicle suspension location. The modular electronic damping control system also includes a control system configured to control the damping component, and determine the type of damping component present. Also, the control system is configured to automatically tune a vehicle's suspension based on the type of damping component present, and automatically monitor the damping component and determine when a change has been made to the damping component so that the control system can then automatically re-tune the vehicle's suspension based on the change to the damping component.
