Abstract: A "pause and resume" function and a "channel change" function for recording and playing interframe compressed audiovideo data, particularly MPEG data. The invention includes a digital track format and a method for recording one or more sessions from one or more streams of interframe compressed audiovideo data which has been synchronized to a reference clock. The invention adds special "splice point" indicators to recorded video material. The splice point indicators are added either periodically (e.g., by recording a special reference clock) or when a discontinuity occurs in recording audiovideo data streams. Splice point indicators are used to determine the existence of a point of discontinuity in the recorded audiovideo data. The system and method enable pausing and later resuming recording of an audiovideo data stream such that the audiovideo data can be played back with proper resynchronization at each point of discontinuity (the "pause and resume" function).

Abstract: A suspension member for a frame of a vehicle that permits a coil spring and a shock absorber to be attached as a unit to the vehicle frame and a control arm pivotally attached to the frame. The control arm is attached to the frame so that the suspension member extends between the frame and the control arm, and the coil spring and shock absorber can be adjusted concurrently.
