Abstract: A control system and method for the seat suspension described herein utilizes a pneumatic cylinder which forms the shock absorber, an air compressor, solenoid valve and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based control. In operation, the pneumatic cylinder is filled with a compressible gas and sustained under pressure for the purpose of supporting the static weight of the occupant as well as providing comfort by reducing transmitted vibrations and high acceleration from external disturbances. A control process utilizes vibration data from the MEMS to adjust the gas cylinder pressure accordingly to reduce and damp the undulations of the supported mass.

Abstract: Ramp mounts may facilitate the movement of a. passenger seat pan relative to a passenger seat frame during movement of the seat pan between an upright position and a recline position relative to the passenger seat frame. During cycling of the seat pan from the recline position to the upright position, ramp mounts may break. Embodiments of the ramp mount (16) disclosed herein may increase the ramp mount durability so as to reduce the instances of ramp mounts breaking during cycling of the seat pan between the recline and upright positions. Additionally, some embodiments may provide for a ramp mount that has fewer components. Such embodiments may simplify coupling of the ramp mount to a seat pan and may reduce passenger seat system assembly time. Moreover, in some embodiments, the reduced number of components may further reduce manufacturing time and/or costs thereby providing a relatively low cost ramp mount.
