20110030448 | ACOUSTIC SYSTEM QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING - Embodiments of the invention provide for testing acoustic systems. According to one embodiment, testing an acoustic system can comprise receiving a signal from the acoustic system at a testing device via one of a plurality of channels between the acoustic system and the testing device. At least one pulse from a pattern pulses of the signal can be detected with the testing device by matching the pattern of pulses to an expected pulse pattern for the acoustic system. For example, matching the pattern of pulses to an expected pulse pattern can comprise determining whether the pulse pattern includes a first pulse type. If the pulse pattern includes the first pulse type, a determination can be made whether the pulse pattern further includes a second pulse type. If the pulse pattern further includes the second pulse type, a subsequent pulse of the second pulse type can be identified and detected. | 02-10-2011 |
20110032793 | ACOUSTIC SYSTEM QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for testing acoustic systems. According to one embodiment, a method for testing an acoustic system can comprise receiving a signal from the acoustic system at a testing device coupled with the acoustic system via one of a plurality of channels between the acoustic system and the testing device. The signal can include a pattern of pulses including Doppler pulses. At least one Doppler pulse from the pattern pulses of the signal can be detected with the testing device. A response to the signal from the acoustic system can be provided by generating an echo pulse with the testing device based on the detected at least one Doppler pulse wherein the echo pulse is frequency shifted from the detected at least one Doppler pulse and mimics a response to the detected at least one Doppler pulse for a selected acoustic probe. | 02-10-2011 |
20110032799 | ACOUSTIC SYSTEM QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for testing acoustic systems. According to one embodiment, a method for testing an acoustic system can comprise receiving a signal from the acoustic system at a testing device coupled with the acoustic system via one of a plurality of channels between the acoustic system and the testing device. The signal can include a pattern of pulses. At least one pulse from the pattern of pulses of the signal can be detected with the testing device. A response to the signal from the acoustic system can be provided by generating an echo pulse with the testing device based on the detected at least one pulse. The echo pulse can mimic a response to the detected at least one pulse for a selected acoustic probe. | 02-10-2011 |

20080312812 | SUSPENSION HEIGHT CONTROL ALLOWING FOR DETERMINATION OF VEHICLE CENTER OF GRAVITY - A process for determining a center of gravity of a vehicle having a sprung portion and an unsprung portion on the basis of selective variation of a lateral and a longitudinal orientation of the sprung portion relative to the unsprung portion. | 12-18-2008 |
20100204886 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING A VEHICLE SIDE SLOPE OPERATING CAPABILITIES - A method and system for orienting the attitude of a vehicle. The method includes determining a path of travel of the vehicle, determining a slope of the terrain over the path of travel, and adjusting a height of at least one adjustable support of the vehicle. | 08-12-2010 |

20080238185 | Braking System - Disclosed is a redundant braking system for a vehicle. A controller may monitor a status of a hydraulic braking system, and during vehicle travel, automatically switch to a modulated electric braking system which is separate from the hydraulic braking system when the hydraulic braking system fails. The modulated electric braking system may utilize a brake acting on a drive shaft of the vehicle, and an operator-actuated switch may set a mode of the modulated electric braking system to a non-modulated parking brake mode. | 10-02-2008 |
20080243336 | Mobility Traction Control System and Method - A system and method for vehicle mobility traction/ride control. The system includes a mode controller configured to output control signals to a variety of vehicle control subsystems in response to operator mode selection input. | 10-02-2008 |
20120174746 | V-HULL GEOMETRY FOR BLAST MITIGATION - A blast energy mitigation structure may employ a V-shaped hull to decrease the pressure wave imparted to a vehicle during a blast event, and/or an energy absorbing structure to absorb a portion of the blast force, thereby minimizing the forces and accelerations experienced by passengers in the vehicle and consequently reducing their injuries and increasing their survivability during a blast event. An exemplary blast energy mitigation structure may have a V-shaped hull and an energy absorbing structure incorporated into the chassis of a vehicle such as a Tactical Wheeled Vehicle, the energy absorbing structure comprising a truss-like structure including I-beams. | 07-12-2012 |
