Patent number: 12257871Abstract: A method for controlling vehicle motion is described. The method includes accessing a set of control signals including a measured vehicle speed value associated with a movement of a vehicle. A control signal associated with user-induced input is also accessed. The method compares the measured vehicle speed value with a predetermined vehicle speed threshold value to achieve a speed value threshold approach status, and then compares the set of values to achieve a user-induced input threshold value approach status. The method monitors a state of a valve within the vehicle suspension damper, and determines a control mode for the vehicle suspension damper. The method also regulates damping forces within the vehicle suspension damper.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Fox Factory, Inc.Inventors: Everet Owen Ericksen, Christopher Paul Cox, Philip Tsiaras, Mark Larson, Mario Galasso, Matt McLellan

Publication number: 20250000511Abstract: An implant delivery instrument may include a base support with a shaft and a jaw extending therefrom and a closed loop member including first and second lateral strips connected by an end strip attached to the jaw with the jaw extending into an opening of the closed loop. The closed loop may be deformable to temporarily create a gap between ends of the closed loop and jaw so that an implant may be inserted therebetween. The instrument may also include an elongate housing slidably disposed over the shaft, the elongate housing being movable between a retracted position exposing the jaw and the closed loop and a deployed position enclosing the jaw and the closed loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Jeremy Ming Graul, Mark Larson
