Publication number: 20220024445Abstract: A vehicle jump detection method and system for a vehicle includes an electronic control module (ECM), at least one ride height sensor (RHS) in signal communication with the ECM and configured to measure a vertical wheel travel distance from a predetermined point on the vehicle, at least one accelerometer in signal communication with the ECM and configured to measure a vertical acceleration of the vehicle frame, and a vehicle speed sensor in signal communication with the ECM. The ECM is configured to independently determine, based on one or more signals from the at least one RHS, the at least one accelerometer, and the vehicle speed sensor, if (i) wheels of a front axle are in the air, (ii) wheels of a rear axle are in the air, and (iii) if the wheels of both the front and rear axles are in the air.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Jeremy J Anker, John O Lagalski, Richard A Myers, Kyle Schumaker, Drushan Mavalankar, Ethan E Bayer, Dustin M Kolodge

The female tabs are arranged so as to oppose one another. The first and second fold lines are substantially perpendicular to the third and fourth fold lines when the first and second panels are disposed in an overlapping relationship. In a locked position, the male tabs are displaced from the plane of the first panel and pass through an aperture formed in the second panel by displacement of the female tabs. Each male tab is displaced out of the plane of the first panel by an angle greater than 90° and being maintained in position by respective side edges of the female tabs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: MEADWESTVACO PACKAGING SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Kyle Schumaker, Bradford J.
