Abstract: A compact vehicle suspension system comprises a sliding ride motion guide having a fixed guide portion and a telescoping guide portion telescopically movable relative to one another. The sliding ride motion guide is fixed to a wheel hub knuckle via the fixed guide portion and is rotatably and structurally fixed via the telescoping guide portion at a top mount to a vehicle body. A coil over shock absorber is rotatably connected to a lower control arm at a first end and to the vehicle body at a second end. Arms of the fixed guide portion of the sliding ride motion guide may span the wheel hub knuckle to which a drive shaft may be connected. Vertical motion of the wheel is defined by a sliding axis of the sliding ride motion guide and an arc of the lower control arm.

Abstract: A sensor assembly, system and method for using a sensor assembly is disclosed making use of a sealed switch and an actuator that converts linear motion in a plane to linear motion in a perpendicular plane. The motion of the actuator in the perpendicular plane actuates the switch which signals that hatch is in an open position.

Abstract: Frequency response testing apparatus, developed for use with hearing aids, comprises a generator providing a predetermined varying-frequency input for the device under test, and a discriminator which applies incremental output level signals from the device to a display matrix of LED's under the control of timing signals derived from the generator, the overall arrangement providing a display in the form of a linear graphical plot.
