  • Patent number: 11947993
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating a first file control block in a primary runtime environment with a first addressing mode and a second file control block in a secondary runtime environment with a second addressing mode, where both the first file control block and the second file control block describe a status of a first file of a caller program in the primary runtime environment. The parameters of the first file of the caller program in the primary runtime environment are passed to a target callee program in the secondary runtime environment. An anchor is added in the first file control block as a link to the second file control block. The first file control block are the second file control block synchronized with updates to the first file in the primary runtime environment and the passed parameters of the first file in the secondary runtime environment.

  • Patent number: 5476161
    Abstract: A self-energizing self-levelling controllable damper unit is provided for use in a vehicle suspension system connected between two relatively movable portions of the system. The unit includes a piston and cylinder arrangement containing a damping fluid and defining three chambers of variable volume dependent upon the relative positions of the components of the arrangement. A valve is provided to regulate the flow of the damping fluid between the first and the second chambers, and between the second and third chambers respectively. The valve is controlled by a controller which, as the vehicle drives over a road surface, controls relative movement of the components of the piston and cylinder arrangement by permitting the damping fluid to flow from the third chamber to the second chamber and thence to the first chamber, and vice versa, until a desired ride height of the vehicle is achieved.
