  • Patent number: 11472493
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a first vehicle component, a second vehicle component, and a fastener assembly. The first vehicle component has a first side defining a first opening and a second side opposite the first side defining a second opening. The second vehicle component is disposed between the first and second sides of the first vehicle component. The fastener assembly attaches the first and second vehicle components to each other and includes a sleeve, a bushing, and a fastener. The sleeve is disposed within the first opening of the first vehicle component. The bushing extends through the second vehicle component and is disposed between the first and second sides of the first vehicle component. The fastener extends through the sleeve, the bushing and the first and second openings of the first vehicle component.

  • Patent number: 9804975
    Abstract: An apparatus having processing circuitry configured to execute applications involving access to memory may include a CPU and a cache controller. The CPU may be configured to access cache memory for execution of an application. The cache controller may be configured to provide an interface between the CPU and the cache memory. The cache controller may include a bitmask to enable the cache controller to employ a two-level data structure to identify memory exploits using hardware. The two-level data structure may include a page level protection mechanism, and a sub-page level protection mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7913822
    Abstract: A shock assembly includes a first tube having a cylindrical wall with an inner surface and an outer surface. A second tube is received within the first tube and includes a cylindrical wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. A piston assembly is received within the second tube and includes a piston rod and a piston that is selectively movable relative to the first tube and the second tube. A height-sensing device is disposed within the first tube between the inner surface of the first tube and the outer surface of the second tube.

  • Patent number: 6843352
    Abstract: A shear mount assembly and a compression mount assembly are combined to control ride harshness of a shock absorber. The shock absorber includes a body and a shock rod having a hydraulically sealed portion within the body and a distally extending free portion. A mount assembly is connected at the free portion having both a compression mount and a shear mount therein. The shear mount absorbs low-input vertical loads transferred from the shock rod, and the compression mount limits vertical displacement of the shear mount and absorbs a medium-input vertical load. The shear mount and the compression mount are tuned by selecting the durometer, dimensions, and physical configuration of each mount.
