Abstract: A method is disclosed to smooth the ride of a seat occupant by controlling the damping force of a fluid damper positioned between the seat and base. The method selects between different subprocesses to minimize the ride discomfort and to minimize peak seat accelerations and endstop jerks. The controller uses the input from the different subprocesses to create the best ride for the immediate operational conditions.

Abstract: A circuit that has a limited switch dynamic logic gate having a front end logic circuit and a latch. The output of the front end logic circuit is connected to an input of the latch, and the front end logic circuit evaluates a set of input signals applied to the front end logic circuit to generate an output signal. The latch receives and holds the output signal. The circuit also has a logic circuit having an output connected to a clock input in the front end logic circuit. The logic circuit generates a modified clock signal in response to receiving a clock signal from a clock source, and the modified clock signal has a duration that provides a minimum period of time for the front end logic to evaluate the set of input signals and generate the output signal.

Abstract: A flexible, scalable hardware and software platform that allows a service provider to easily provide internet services, virtual private network services, firewall services, etc., to a plurality of customers. One aspect provides a method and system for delivering security services. This includes connecting a plurality of processors in a ring configuration within a first processing system, establishing a secure connection between the processors in the ring configuration across an internet protocol (IP) connection to a second processing system to form a tunnel, and providing both router services and host services for a customer using the plurality of processors in the ring configuration and using the second processing system, a packet routing system and method is described that includes a processor identifier in each packet to route the packets to a physical processor, and a logical queue identifier to route the packets to the destination object within that processor.

Abstract: A system and method of managing a switch includes installing a switch having a plurality of processor elements, installing an operating system on each processor element, creating a system virtual router and configuring the processor elements from the system virtual router.

Abstract: Mesophase pitch centrifugally spun over a lip of the centrifugal rotor can be protected from coke and tar formation by conveying the molten pitch to the rotor's lip through channels within the rotor.

Abstract: Application of hydrophobic silica to an anisotropic-melt forming polyester yarn reduces interfilament and intrafilament fusion during heat-strengthening. Improvements in adhesion of yarn to certain matrices are noted.
