Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle is provided. The suspension includes, for example, a frame and a releasable locking assembly. The releasable locking assembly has, for example, a first assembly movably coupled to the frame, a second assembly movably coupled to the frame, and wherein movement of the frame relative to the first and second assemblies causes the first and second assemblies to engage each other to limit further movement of the frame in at least a first direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a curb-climbing wheelchair having pivotal arm assemblies. The pivotal arm assemblies include at least one front caster and have the ability to rotate or pivot. The pivot arms rotate or pivot in response to moments generated by accelerating or decelerating the wheelchair thereby raising or lowering the front caster(s) through the rotational movement of the pivot arms. By raising or lowering the front caster(s) in such a manner, curb-like obstacles can be traversed in a low-impact manner.

Abstract: An audio signal quality detector connected to receive an audio signal from the discriminator of a radio receiver and including an envelope detector connected to the output of the discriminator and supplying a signal indicative of the envelope of the audio to a resettable valley detector which stores a voltage indicative of the lowest valley applied thereto subsequent to a reset pulse and a sample and hold gate connected to the valley detector for sampling the voltage stored in the valley detector prior to periodic reset pulses applied to the valley detector. Circuitry is also included for inhibiting the operation of the sample and hold gate when there is no output from the valley detector.
