  • Patent number: 4989148
    Abstract: Apparatus for the computer-assisted control, as a function of the roadway, of vibration dampers of a vehicle suspension system. The control uses the accelerations of the vehicle body and the vehicle wheels to dynamically adjust the damping force of the vibration dampers, whereby as little energy as possible is transmitted to the vehicle body the wheel axle. The damping force should be very low when the body and the axle move in the same direction, and when the amount of the velocity of the wheel axle is greater than the amount of the velocity of the vehicle body.

  • Patent number: 4594562
    Abstract: A problem encountered in the design of preamplifiers of optical receivers, e.g., of so-called transimpedance amplifiers, is to achieve both a wide bandwidth and high sensitivity. The invention solves this problem primarily by a specific implementation and placement of the feedback resistor in the transimpedance amplifier type, and of the load resistor in the high-impedance amplifier type which permit a high resistance value and very low series and shunt capacitances. The resistor consists of a resistive strip (1) and conductive strips (2, 3) deposited on a substrate, the conductive strips extending parallel to the resistive strip and each having one end connected to one end of the resistive strip. To reduce shunt capacitances, the substrate is located at a distance from the metallic amplifier case and from the amplifier board.
