  • Patent number: 11937601
    Abstract: Methods for controlling and/or treating of phytopathogenic fungi causing soybean rust infections in plants include applying a fungicidally effective amount of a composition to the plants, and/or seeds of the plants, or soil in which the plants are growing, or soil in which the plants are desired to grow. The composition includes zoxamide, optionally in combination with one or more additional active ingredients selected from the group consisting of strobilurins and/or triazole compounds. The phytopathogenic fungi are selected from P. pachyrhizi or P. meibomiae. The zoxamide is applied in an amount of about 10 g/ha to about 2000 g/ha.

  • Patent number: 8820064
    Abstract: A hydraulic actuator assembly includes an actuator, a first sink subsystem in fluid communication with an upper working chamber of the actuator, a second sink subsystem in fluid communication with a lower working chamber of the actuator and a source subsystem in fluid communication with both the upper and lower working chambers of the actuator. A low pressure accumulator is in fluid communication with the upper and lower working chambers, the first and second sink subsystems and source subsystem. A high pressure accumulator is in fluid communication with the first and second sink subsystems and the source subsystem. The hydraulic actuator assembly can generate passive or active forces with or without energy recuperation.

  • Patent number: 8701846
    Abstract: A shock absorber includes a hydraulic compression stop. The hydraulic stop includes a pressure tube surrounding the pressure tube of the shock absorber and a piston in hydraulic communication with the interior of the pressure tube. The piston can be disposed within the pressure tube and can be attached to the pressure tube or to the shock absorber. The hydraulic stop can also include a hydraulic fluid chamber and the piston can be disposed within the hydraulic fluid chamber.

  • Patent number: 7751959
    Abstract: A suspension system includes four electronically controlled actuators, one at each of the four wheels. The actuators are each controlled by an electronic control unit. The left front and right front actuators are mechanically connected with each other. The left rear and the right rear actuators are also mechanically connected with each other. The only connection between the front two actuators and the rear two actuators is an electronic communication through the electronic control unit.

  • Patent number: 7743896
    Abstract: A shock absorber includes an external valve which controls the damping characteristics of the shock absorber. The external valve controls the flow of fluid between the lower working chamber of the shock absorber and the reservoir chamber and between the upper working chamber of the shock absorber. The damping characteristics are dependent on the amount of current being applied to a solenoid valve which controls the movement of a plunger.
