Patent number: 11407268Abstract: An active suspension system for a sprung mass that is supported and movable relative to an unsprung mass. The active suspension system has a suspension that comprises an electromagnetic actuator that is adapted to produce an arbitrary force on the sprung mass that is independent of the position, velocity and acceleration of the sprung mass, a control system that provides control signals that cause the suspension to exert force on the sprung mass, to control the position of the sprung mass relative to the unsprung mass, wherein the control system implements a control algorithm with one or more constants, and a user interface that is operable to cause a change of one or more of the control algorithm constants so as to vary how closely motion of the sprung mass follows motion of the unsprung mass.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: ClearMotion Acquisition I LLCInventors: Brian Alexander Selden, James A. Parison

Patent number: 10744913Abstract: Active vibration isolation (AVI) systems are becoming more available in various markets, one such market being vehicle operator seating. Unfamiliarity with the performance of such systems may cause users initial perceptions of system performance to be unfavorable. AVI systems can include a demonstration system capable of providing simulations too users of various types of vibration isolation systems under various input conditions, so that users can be introduced to the system benefits over other systems before using an AVI equipped product in its intended application.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: ClearMotion Acquisition I LLCInventors: Antonio Sangermano, II, James A. Parison, Brian A. Selden

Patent number: 10464387Abstract: An active suspension system that interfaces a sprung mass and an unsprung mass is disclosed. The active suspension system includes a suspension comprising one or more actuators capable of exerting a force on the sprung mass to at least partially isolate motion of the sprung mass from motion of the unsprung mass. A user interface allows a user to indicate a desired degree of motion isolation.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: ClearMotion Acquisition I LLCInventors: Brian Alexander Selden, James A.
