Abstract: The present disclosure includes a jounce bumper with a main body and an insert. The main body includes a first polymeric material. The insert is integral with the main body and includes a second polymeric material that is different from the first polymeric material. The insert further includes a first plate, a second plate, and a connecting lattice that connects the first plate and the second plate together. The first polymeric material of the main body is between the first plate and the second plate, and is within the connecting lattice.

Abstract: A road surface scanning device and method for scanning a section of road in order to acquire road surface data, which in turn can be used to create a mathematical model of the road. In one embodiment, the road surface scanning device includes a frame, a carriage movably mounted to the frame, a scanner movably mounted to the carriage, and a pair of electric actuators that can move the scanner across the road surface. Information from adjacent scanner passes are electronically stitched together and, in a similar manner, information from adjacent surface segments are electronically joined to form a mathematical model of the road. Various techniques can then be used to process the road surface data and prepare it for use by other software applications.
