Abstract: A vehicle suspension assembly includes an axle member movable between a first position and a second position, mounting brackets adapted to couple to a vehicle frame assembly, trailing arms pivotably coupled to mounting brackets and pivotably coupled to the axle member, a lift arrangement including a pair of diaphragm chambers each having a push plate and a flexible bladder, the push plate of the diaphragm chamber dividing the associated diaphragm chamber into a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment of each diaphragm chamber being adjustably pressurized to move the push plate of the associated diaphragm chamber, and at least one push rod defining a single longitudinal axis and connected to each push plate such that pressurization of the diaphragm chambers cause a translational movement of the at least one push rod, thereby causing the axle member to move between the first and second positions.

Abstract: The disclosure includes five different display presentations, two for Handheld computers and three for Laptops or Desktops, for the word start inputs with a Stylus, Mouse or other type Pointer. Pointer selects displayed items and executes strokes to input text to computers. Displayed items include starting letters, or SLs, very frequent words, or VFWs, Digits, and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th letters of SLSs. Strokes and ‘Sections’ diagrams and tables show assignments obtained. Six SL and SLS obtained word set presentations enable further word inputs with a Pointer. Pointer strokes from Digits input members shown in table. Strokes following VFW and other word selections obtain ‘Associated Inputs’ of tables as specified by Codes with words. Strokes following SL and SLS inputs add letters to extend SLSs for smaller word sets from vocabulary holding strings of the word stems of an abridged dictionary. Special ‘Letter Groups’ effectively extend SLSs with eight strokes.
