Publication number: 20230146328Abstract: Provided is a semi-active seat suspension system that minimizes vibration and energy transmission from a vibration/energy source, such as a motor vehicle, to a seated occupant by means of a spring and computer-controlled damper suspension system. Using a variety of sensors to determine an ideal damping rate at a given point in time, the system adjusts the damping rate in real time to provide the best possible ride to the occupant given the constraints of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: USSC ACQUISITION CORP.Inventors: John-Paul McGovern, Matthew M.

Patent number: 10447119Abstract: Systems are described for converting the angular position of a shaft or an axle of a rotary motor to an analog or a digital code indicative of the angular position. The systems may include a magnetic disk encoded with first magnetic transitions and second magnetic transitions, where the first magnetic transitions are on a first circumference of the magnetic disk, the second magnetic transitions are on a second circumference of the magnetic disk, the first magnetic transitions represent regions on the magnetic disk, and the second magnetic transitions represent locations on the magnetic disk within each of the regions. The systems may include a first sensor to detect a region based on the first magnetic transitions and a second sensor to detect a location based on the second magnetic transitions. The systems may also include a decoder to identify an absolute location on the magnetic disk based on the region detected by the first sensor and the location detected by the second sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: ClearMotion Acquisition I LLCInventors: Antonio Sangermano, II, Richard O'Day

Patent number: 8725351Abstract: An active suspension system for a suspended device. The system has an electromagnetic actuator that produces force on the suspended device and that is powered by a power source, and a control system that provides control signals that cause the electromagnetic actuator to exert force on the suspended device. The control system is adapted to receive a turn-off signal that results in disabling the electromagnetic actuator from producing force on the suspended device. When the control system receives a turn-off signal it provides actuator turn-off control signals that cause the force exerted by the electromagnetic actuator to progressively transition to zero over a transition time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Brian Selden, Antonio Sangermano

Publication number: 20140095022Abstract: An active suspension system for a sprung mass. The suspension system has an electromagnetic motor that produces force on the sprung mass and that is powered by power from a power source. The motor has an armature, and a stator with coils. Motor drive electronics include a power amplifier that delivers power to the motor coils; the motor drive electronics are physically separate from the motor. There is a non-volatile digital memory circuit that stores motor commutation calibration data that represents a mapping of coil input current to resulting motor force output; the memory circuit is integrated with the motor. There can also be a clamp circuit that selectively provides actuator damping by electrically connecting the coils together; when present the clamp circuit is also integrated with the motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Inventors: Thomas J.
