  • Publication number: 20220097792
    Abstract: A system for adjusting the damper force on the suspension system of a bicycle is provided. Sensors are placed on the front shock and rear shock to measure the amplitude of displacement or acceleration in the time domain and generate a zenith position, velocity, force, and work based on the measured values. The system calculates a curve fit approximation curve for the relationships of zenith position versus velocity and uses the approximation curves to generate and display recommended damper settings for the front shock and rear shock. Using the data ensures that the bicycle suspension data is balanced, such that the front shock and rear shock respond similarly to the same event.

  • Patent number: 10894572
    Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a shank shaped for mating with a socket in a head of a bolt about which a portion of a rear suspension of a bicycle pivots. A magnetometer (or a permanent magnet) is coupled to the shank. A permanent magnet with a north pole and a south pole (or a magnetometer) is positioned adjacent to the magnetometer (or permanent magnet) and pivotable relative thereto. A linkage couples the permanent magnet (or magnetometer) to the portion of the rear suspension that pivots about the bolt. The magnetometer senses changes in the magnetic field as the suspension pivots.

  • Patent number: 9203746
    Abstract: Managing resources in a multi-level switch assembly system, includes a resource tree with the multiple hierarchical levels, wherein a first level device is associated with a first level, one or more second and third level devices are associated with lower, second and third levels respectively, and so on. Cost tokens are assigned to the various devices based on their corresponding resource requirements. Resources of the multi-level switch assembly system, such as, ports and/or bandwidth, are dynamically allocated to the first, second, third level devices, and so on, based on their corresponding cost tokens in a hierarchical manner.

  • Publication number: 20060015928
    Abstract: A multicast services control system is provided for Internet protocol television transport. The system includes a service distribution platform, at least one service concentration platform, and at least one set-top box. The service distribution platform has a multicast table. The service distribution platform is configured to receive channels from an Internet protocol video source and the multicast table is configured to include an entry for each of the channels. The at least one service concentration platform communicates with the service distribution platform for forwarding “leaves” and receiving “joins” with the service distribution platform.
