Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the process of remotely accessing a first device may include: connecting the first device to an authentication server; generating a one time code; transferring the one time code to a second device; connecting the second device to the authentication server; sending the one time code from the second device to the authentication server; confirming the one time code with the authentication server; modifying the first device to exclusively use only one credential provider to authenticate a user; communicating approval for authentication of the user from the authentication server to the first device when the one time code is confirmed with the authentication server; and singing the user into the first device after the approval for authentication of the user is communicated to the first device.

Abstract: A bicycle is disclosed. In certain examples, the bicycle includes a head tube coupled to a top tube and a down tube, and a seat tube coupled to the top tube and the down tube. The bicycle is coupled to a rear suspension system in certain examples. The rear suspension includes an upper linkage member pivotally coupled at a first pivot point with the bicycle frame and pivotally coupled at a second pivot point with a rear suspension system. The rear suspension also includes a lower linkage member pivotally coupled at a first pivot point with the bicycle frame and pivotally coupled at a second pivot point with the rear suspension system, and where the lower linkage member includes a bottom bracket shell.

Abstract: A bicycle frame is disclosed. In certain examples, the bicycle frame includes a head tube coupled to a top tube and a down tube, a seat tube coupled to the top tube and the down tube, and an upper pivot point disposed in the seat tube configured to pivotally couple to a rear suspension system. In certain examples, the bicycle frame includes a plurality of lower pivot points disposed in the seat tube configured to pivotally couple to the rear suspension system, each of the plurality of lower pivot points causing, when coupled to the rear suspension system, the rear suspension system to define a different wheel path as a rear wheel of the rear suspension system travels from an extended position to a compressed position.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include a system and method that allows for a much simpler user onboarding experience when registering a new mobile application with a service provider. An exemplary method for regustering a software application includes creating a dynamic link, sending the dynamic link to a user to be accessed by the user from a mobile device, and automatically registering an application access by the dynamic link when the dynamic link is activated by a user.

Abstract: A tubeless tire seating tool is disclosed. The tubeless tire seating tool includes a tube and a sealing stem. The tube is inflatable to apply pressure to a tubeless tire on a tire side of a wheel to seat the tubeless tire on the wheel. The sealing stem is coupled to the tube to facilitate delivery of a fluid into the tube to apply the pressure to the tubeless tire. The sealing stem includes a sealing element external to the sealing stem and forming a seal on the wheel to prevent the fluid from escaping around the sealing stem from within the tubeless tire in response to a failure of the tube.

Abstract: A suspension system for supporting a frame of a vehicle on at least one wheel that is coupled via a chain to a chain ring on the frame. The suspension system includes a structural member supporting an axle of the wheel, a first linkage arm connecting the structural member to the frame, a second linkage arm connecting the structural member to the frame, and a shock absorber coupled between the frame and one of the structural member, the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm. Additionally, the center of curvature (CC) of the axle of the wheel is located within a predetermined radius of a tangent contact point between a tension segment of the chain and the chain ring throughout a range motion of the suspension system.

Abstract: A buck-boost converter with a switch controller may cause switches A, B, C, and/or D to cyclically close such that switches B and C are closed during at least one interval of each cycle during both the buck and boost modes of operation. The switch controller may in addition or instead cause switches A, B, C, and/or D to cyclically close based on a control signal such that switches A and D are closed during an interval of each cycle and such that these intervals are never both simultaneously modulated by a small change in the control signal during any mode of operation.

Abstract: A synchronous boost DC/DC conversion system comprises an input for receiving a DC input voltage, an output for producing a DC output voltage, a power switch controllable to adjust an output signal of the conversion system, and an inductor coupled to the input. A synchronous rectifier is configurable to create a conduction path between the inductor and the output to provide the inductor discharge. A control circuit is provided for controlling the synchronous rectifier as the input voltage approaches the output voltage, so as to adjust average impedance of the conduction path over a discharge period of the inductor.
