Abstract: A method of automatically applying damping force interventions for a suspension system of a vehicle may include receiving ride height information from a plurality of ride height sensors associated with respective individual wheels of the vehicle, and receiving vehicle speed information. The method further includes determining, based on the ride height information, vehicle speed and timing information, whether a trigger event has occurred. The method also includes generating damping intervention signals to selected ones of the respective individual wheels of the vehicle responsive to determining that the trigger event has occurred.

Abstract: A solid-state battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator between the positive and negative electrodes. The negative electrode includes reduced lithium titanate (LTO) particles and solid electrolyte particles. The negative electrode lacks electronically conductive additives.

Abstract: A method for secure authentication is provided which includes having a user who wishes to gain access to a computer or computer network select from among a plurality of randomly displayed images, having different background colors, the correct image and background color which correspond to the user's computer account. In one advantageous form, in addition to selecting the correct image, the user must first enter a username and password. In an alternative form, if a user is seeking access to a computer network by using a preapproved access point or computer having an approved IP address, a user is allowed to gain access to the computer network without being prompted to select a correct image.

Abstract: In forming a mine shaft for an underground mine, earth excavated by a boring machine may be transported upwardly by a handling unit to a transfer station where it may be transferred into skips, which may be raised and lowered along skip guides within the shaft hole for transport of the excavated material to an earth surface region. The transfer station may be moved downwardly as excavation progresses.

Abstract: A support chair structure for use in supporting and spacing concrete reinforcement members, having a solid, integrally formed body, that is substantially shaped as a flat topped pyramid. The body includes an upper receiving area for receiving a concrete reinforcement member and a lower base that is adapted to rest on a planar support surface.
