Patent number: 7556271Abstract: A method and apparatus for an electronic equipment rack that provides mobility through directional self-propulsion and multi-axis suspension. The electronic equipment rack further provides self-powered operation and environmental control with wireless access, while protecting against unauthorized access, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and dust contamination. An alternate embodiment provides a non-mobile electronic equipment rack with multi-axis suspension, while optionally providing wireless access and protection against unauthorized access and the environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Emiph, LLCInventors: Jody G. Robbins, William E. Woodbury, II, Richard M. Chaput, Scott A. Boster, Mark J. Miskill, Simon J. Rohrich

Publication number: 20070235911Abstract: A method and apparatus for an adaptive, multi-axis suspension support system providing both coarse and fine suspension to a payload. Coarse suspension control is provided to maintain the payload within a coarse range of position. Fine suspension control is provided by monitoring and analyzing vibration characteristics in both time and frequency domains to determine the required amount of damper resistance to be exerted by a magnetorheological (MR) device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2006Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: EMIPH, LLCInventors: Jody Robbins, William Woodbury, Scott Boster, Mark Miskill

Publication number: 20070145695Abstract: A method and apparatus for a low-profile suspension system, which provides coarse and fine suspension control to an object supported by the low-profile suspension system. Coarse suspension is provided to adaptively control a position of the object through pneumatic support devices. Pneumatic pressure is adaptively increased in the pneumatic support devices to support an increasing weight of the object, while pneumatic pressure is adaptively decreased in the pneumatic support devices to support a decreasing weight of the object. Fine suspension control is provided through rotational actuation of a shock absorbing device through a right-angle gear drive. By rotationally actuating the shock absorbing device, a range of stroke of the shock absorbing device along a vertical direction is minimized. Position equalization control is further provided to maintain a position of the object along an axis that is orthogonal to the coarse and fine suspension axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: EMIPH, LLCInventors: Jody G.
