Abstract: A connector assembly (10) is provided including a first connector (12) and a second connector (14) configured to mateably engage the first connector (12). The first connector (12) includes a housing (16), a conductor assembly (18) positioned within the housing and projecting from housing, and a resilient seal member (30) enclosing an interface between the housing (16) and the portion of the conductor assembly projecting from the housing. The second connector (14) includes an outer contact (60), an inner contact (62) nested within a portion of the outer contact (60), and a housing (64) containing the inner and outer contacts. Conductors of the conductor assembly (18) of the first connector (12) engage the outer (60) and inner (62) contacts of the second connector (14). Another resilient seal member (45) includes a flexible skirt (50) formed at an end portion thereof. The flexible skirt (50) forms a shroud covering a mating interface between a first conductor (20) of the first connector (12) and the inner contact (62) of the second connector (14) when the first and second connectors are mated. Design features incorporated into the second connector housing (64), inner contact (62), and outer contact (60) act to retard undesirable unmating of the connectors. The connector assembly (10) of the present invention may be used in applications requiring a dual wire or coaxial connector resistant to adverse environmental conditions, such as exposure to high-pressure gases or liquids, elevated temperatures, vibration, salt spray, etc.

Abstract: A suspension damper includes a reservoir housing with a piston slidably mounted therein and including a piston rod extending from the reservoir housing and attached to the vehicle by a mount assembly. An air chamber is defined by a sleeve cirucmscribing the piston rod and connected to the reservoir housing by a flexible portion. The mount assembly includes a pumping chamber which expands and contracts in response to normal road undulations to inflate the air chamber. A valve controlled by the flexible portion of the sleeve controls communication from the air chamber to ambient atmosphere to thereby control inflation of the air chamber and thereby controlling ride height.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle sway bar assembly (18) includes two opposed sway bar members (24,28) interconnected by a hydraulically actuated latch (36) operable to effectively decouple the sway bar members (24,28). Alternatively, the sway bar assembly (18) may include an integral center section interconnecting the opposed sway bar members (24,28) and the latch (36) is operable to modify the effective stiffness of the assembly (18). The latch (36) includes a housing (38) with two opposed latch members (58,80) axially moveable relative to each other between fully engaged positions for transmitting torque from one sway bar member to the other or partially disengaged to effectively decouple the sway bar members (24,28) from each other. An anti-backlash lock member (92,94) is engageable with one sway bar latch member to reduce backlash created by a splined connection when the latch members are fully engaged with each other.

Abstract: The problem of flow induced instability in a control valve for a vehicle damper is solved by a generally tubular shaped valve spool having an open, bridged, flow-through end (34), rather than side flow openings. The flow-through end of the spool has a narrow flat edge oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the spool, with an inside surface (56) of the spool forming a 55 to 90 degree angle with the flat edge, and meeting the flat edge in a sharp corner.
