Abstract: An example roll control device uses differential pressure values, for example, that are conveyed by a motor driven pump to a first actuator associated with a first stabilizer. The differential pressure values are also conveyed from the motor driven pump to a second stabilizer through a proportional valve in one example. In another example, multiple actuators are utilized with each actuator being associated with a separate motor driven pump in communication with a common controller.

Abstract: A roll control actuator for a stabilizer bar includes an outer housing that is fixed to a first bar portion and a paddle member that is fixed to a second bar portion. The roll control actuator includes multiple fluid chambers with different fluid volumes. A control is used to selectively adjust roll stiffness of the stabilizer bar and includes a control valve in fluid communication with an accumulator. The first and second stabilizer bars can rotate relative to each other when the control valve is open to decrease roll stiffness and provide good ride quality. When the control valve is open, fluid flows freely between the fluid chambers. The first and second bar portions are hydraulically locked together when the control valve is closed to increase roll stiffness during cornering maneuvers. When the control valve is closed, the accumulator is isolated from the roll control actuator and fluid flow through the fluid chambers cannot occur due to differing fluid volumes.

Abstract: A device and method for digitally signing contracts. A first contract is signed in response to an action by a signor. A second contract is also signed in response to an action by the signor. The action that signs the second contract is an extension of the same action that is used to sign the first contract. By this method a plurality of contracts may be signed with a single extended action, in contrast to existing methods where a plurality of contracts are signed by repeated, discrete actions. A signor may be presented with a summarised, partial or full version of a contract before and after the contract is signed. Multiple contracts may be presented in list form and each contract on the list may be represented as a single line of text, or a few lines of text.

Abstract: A vehicle includes front and rear suspension systems. The vehicle includes front left and right strut assemblies respectively including front left and right knuckles. Rear left and right strut assemblies respectively include rear left and right knuckles. The knuckles are common with one another with each knuckle having a common lower attachment boss. The front left and right knuckles respectively receive front left and right connection members at the lower attachment boss. The lower attachment boss is respectively interconnected to the front left and right suspension components. The rear left and right knuckles respectively receive rear left and right connection members at the lower attachment boss respectively interconnected to rear left and right suspension components. The overall suspension for the vehicle is designed by determining the left knuckle position parameters such as suspension member, brake, and wheel assembly attachment points. Similarly, the right knuckle position parameters are determined.

Abstract: Processes and machines for matching individual lenders with borrowers. Individual lenders can create an account having attributes defining conditions under which the individual lenders are willing to lend money. Borrowers can request quotations for loans. The borrowers and individual lenders are then matched, if possible, for the creation of a possible loan.

Abstract: A strut for a vehicle suspension includes a hydraulic cylinder housing defining a hydraulic fluid chamber. The hydraulic cylinder includes an air passage adjacent to the chamber and separated therefrom by a first common wall. An air spring is supported on an upper portion of the cylinder housing in fluid communication with the air passage. An air reservoir extends from a portion of the cylinder housing and is in fluid communication with and fluidly connected to the air spring by the air passage. The air reservoir and the chamber are separated by a second common wall. The air reservoir preferably forms at least a portion of the knuckle, which supports the wheel end. In this manner, the knuckle and hydraulic cylinder are preferably integrated into one structure, preferably by a single cast unit. The integrated air reservoir and air passage reduces the size of the air spring and eliminates the need for a remote air chamber and associated hoses and fittings.

Abstract: A steerable front suspension system provides a strut isolator assembly that is supported upon a bearing assembly mounted to a frame bracket. The forces upon a piston rod are transferred to the frame bracket through the strut isolator assembly that is rotationally supported upon the bearing assembly. The forces upon a spring assembly pass through an upper spring mount, a flange portion of the strut isolator assembly, the bearing assembly and into the frame bracket. An air bag is mounted to a jounce bumper bracket. An annular piston rod seal such as an O-ring seal is mounted about a reduced diameter piston rod segment adjacent a step upon which the jounce bumper bracket is located. The air chamber formed by the air bag is thusly sealed to the piston rod by the annular retainer and the annular piston rod seal.
