Abstract: A container object decorated with a proxy attribute is intercepted when instantiated at runtime, and a component that is an instance of a type dynamically created at runtime is returned, which implements interfaces corresponding to each of the individual interfaces of the objects extended in the container object by delegating to the extended objects. Alternately, a similar container object, when instantiated at runtime, would return a proxy object which contains a lookup table that maps interfaces to the extended objects within the component. The proxy object intercepts all calls to the container object and redirects them appropriately to the proxy objects corresponding to the extended objects, which may in turn redirect calls appropriately.

Abstract: A method of determining the damping factor of a shock absorber includes attaching an accelerometer to one of a first and a second part of the shock absorber. The first- and second parts are displaced relative to one another at least once and the acceleration of the parts relative to each other is measured by reading a signal from the accelerometer. The damping factor is then determined by analysis of the measured acceleration. A shock absorber monitoring system for use in the method includes an accelerometer for generating an acceleration signal. A processor is connected to the accelerometer and reads the acceleration signal from the accelerometer thereby to calculate a damping factor of the shock absorber when the first- and second parts of the shock absorber are displaced relative to one another. An indicator, responsive to the processor, displays a value representative of the damping factor of the shock absorber.
