Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adjustable valve including a field responsive fluid within a passageway, and fluid flow adjustment through the passageway in a vibration damper.
SOLUTION: A reduction of MR fluid allowing use of lighter-weight, less-expensive hydraulic fluids for flow through a damping valve 36 of a piston 25 is allowed. In another aspect, a damper 20 includes a mechanical adjustment means for manually adjusting the damping level. Adjustment is accomplished by a moveable permanent magnet, moveable pole piece, moveable pole-and-magnet assembly, or magnetic shunt. Manual adjustment may include a knob, lever, or cable actuation. Alternately, magnetic flux is provided by an electromagnet. The valve and damper are useful in any suspension system where a damper body 22 is attached to a frame component 12, such as a bicycle frame, and a piston rod 23 is attached to a suspension component, such as a bicycle's swing arm 14.

Abstract: An adjustable valve including a passageway, a field responsive fluid within the passageway, and fluid flow adjustment through the passageway. The valve is preferably used in a vibration damper. One damper includes a body, a piston, first and second chambers, a damping valve, a piston rod, an auxiliary chamber, a passageway interconnecting to the auxiliary chamber, a field responsive fluid, a field responsive fluid valve for controlling flow to the auxiliary chamber, and pressurization means. Preferably included is a cavity partition having field responsive fluid disposed on one side and non-field responsive fluid disposed on the other. This allows a reduction of MR fluid allowing use of lighter-weight, less-expensive, hydraulic fluids for flow through the piston's damping valve. In another aspect, the damper includes mechanical adjustment means for manually adjusting the damping level. Adjustment is accomplished by a moveable permanent magnet, moveable pole piece, moveable pole-and-magnet assembly, or magnetic shunt. Manual adjustment may include a knob, lever, or cable actuation. Alternately, magnetic flux is provided by an electromagnet. The valve and damper finds utility in any suspension system where a damper body is attached to a frame component, such as a bicycle frame, and the piston rod is attached to a suspension component, such as a bicycle's swingarm.

The systems and methods include providing sensors configured to detect vibration of a structure and a controller in electrical communication with the sensors. The controller includes a hardware processor and a memory element configured to process the vibration detected by the sensors, generate a force control command signal, and output the force control command signal via an interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring rotating shafts (28) and couplings (30) in an aircraft vehicle propulsion system (22) is described. The measurement system/method provides for accurate and precise monitoring of a rotating shaft flexible coupling in a fixed wing aircraft vehicle propulsion system (22). The measurement system/method provides for a high reliability short take off vertical landing fixed wing aircraft in which the vehicle's dynamically rotating drive shaft system (28) and couplings (30) are monitored in real time.

The relative position of the sensors (40) is rigidly fixed externally from the rotating targets with a structural frame. The misalignment measuring system provides a misalignment measurement of the propulsion system drive shaft flexible coupling which relates to a critical performance of rotating shaft (28) coupling in the operating of an aircraft vehicle (20).
