  • Patent number: 7013206
    Abstract: One or several vibration dampers of a vehicle suspension have a damping force arrangement wherein a control signal is computed within the actuating range in accordance with a standard control method for adjusting the damper characteristic. The drive of a damper adjustable in accordance with this invention is so improved that body movements (notwithstanding a harder adjusted damping for critical driving situations) are substantially suppressed as early as possible. In specific driving situations, the adjusting range of the damper force is changed in that the upper limit of the adjusting range is raised or lowered and/or the lower limit of the adjusting range is raised or lowered. A soft damper setting takes place preferably in dependence upon signals which announce or display a change of the vehicle longitudinal deceleration or vehicle transverse acceleration.

  • Patent number: 5939980
    Abstract: A telecommunity alarm system having a plurality of security surveillance modems that can be connected to a telecommunication network via an analog or digital subscriber terminal port, the security surveillance modems forming a group of a predetermined size. The security surveillance modems each have a first memory for storing telephone numbers of the other modems in the group, a second memory for identifying the particular modem and a programmable control unit.
