Patent number: 10800220Abstract: 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: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Fox Factory, Inc.Inventors: Everet Owen Ericksen, Christopher Paul Cox, Philip Tsiaras, Mark Larson, Mario Galasso, Matt McLellan

Publication number: 20200212689Abstract: A modular device charging station connectible to a power source through a cable includes an input endcap defining a power connector slot and a plurality of input locator pins in a predefined layout. A cradle body is defined by a device receptacle, with an input side having a power connector socket connectible to the cable and defining one or more input side locator holes receptively engageable with the input locator pins. An output side A pass-through power connector plug and a plurality of output locator pins in the predefined layout are on an output side. A terminating endcap defines a plug pocket and a plurality of terminating-side locator holes in the predefined layout receptively engageable with the output locator pins. A charging circuit with a power signal input is connected to the power connector socket, and the pass-through power connector plug is electrically connected to the power connector socket.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2018Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Yasuhiro Yamamoto, Mark Larson, Vince Alves

Patent number: 10462029Abstract: An example system may include a first device connected over respective communications interfaces to a plurality of second devices. The first device may establish respective remote terminals between the first device and one or more second devices. Establishing the respective remote terminals may indicate that the devices are in an online state. The first device may periodically update respective heartbeat files on the second devices. A respective second device may detect that a pre-determined time period has elapsed since the heartbeat file was updated. The respective second device may determine that a respective remote terminal between the first device and the respective second device has been terminated. Determining that the remote terminal has been terminated may indicate that the device is in an offline state. The respective second device may reset itself so as to transition the respective second device from the offline state to the online state.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Manish Lachwani, Pratyus Patnaik, Abhinav Singh, Mark Larson, Chase Phillips
