U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,071,157 and 5,096,219 describe real time controlled vehicle suspension systems that use eight primary sensors to sense wheel and body states for suspension control. The eight primary sensors include four position sensors, which measure relative vertical position between the vehicle body at each of the four vehicle wheels, and ,four accelerometers, which measure the absolute vertical body acceleration at each corner of the vehicle adjacent a vehicle wheel. The signals from these sensors are provided to a control which varies, in real time, the damping of a variable damper or actuator between each vehicle wheel and its corresponding body corner.
In each of these prior art systems, the desired force to be exerted by each damper or actuator is computed as a combination of the absolute vertical wheel velocity of the associated wheel and three independent absolute body modal velocities defining body motion with reference to an inertial frame of reference, such as absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocities. In the system of U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157, for example, the body accelerometer outputs are integrated to obtain absolute body vertical velocity signals, which are geometrically transformed into absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals. Each of the relative position sensor outputs is differentiated to obtain a relative body/wheel velocity signal for the respective wheel, which can be subtracted from the absolute body vertical velocity signal for the wheel to obtain an absolute vertical wheel velocity signal. The system of U.S. Pat. No. 5,096,219 differs from the preceding by first transforming the absolute body acceleration signals to absolute body heave, roll and pitch acceleration signals before integrating the latter to obtain the absolute body modal velocity signals but is otherwise similar in operation. In each case the required absolute body modal velocity signals are derived from body corner mounted accelerometers, which add significantly to the cost of the system.
Advantageously, this invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle chassis system, such as a variable force suspension system, that reduces the number of sensors required for reduced cost.
Advantageously, this invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle suspension system in real time that reduces the number of primary input sensors for sensing the vehicle and suspension states to four sensors.
Advantageously, this invention provides a method and apparatus for estimating absolute body modal states of a motor vehicle while eliminating absolute body (corner) accelerometers as were previously required.
Advantageously, this invention provides a method and apparatus for determining estimated absolute body modal velocities from the information provided by vehicle body/wheel relative position or velocity sensors.
These and other advantages are achieved by this invention in a motor vehicle suspension control system by (a) obtaining from a set of sensors, mounted to sense vertical motion between a set of vehicle wheels and a vehicle body suspended therefrom, a set of relative velocity signals between the set of vehicle wheels and a set of points on the suspended vehicle body; (b) determining from the set of relative velocity signals a set of estimated absolute body modal velocity signals for the suspended vehicle body; and (c) controlling a controllable chassis system responsive to the determined set of estimated absolute body modal velocity signals.
The method and apparatus may further determine the set of estimated absolute body modal velocity signals as the estimated absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals. Each of these estimated absolute body modal velocity signals may be determined by geometrically transforming the set of relative velocity signals into a relative modal velocity signal and filtering the relative modal velocity signal through a two pole, low pass filter which includes an additional phase inversion for phase compensation. Each of the low pass filters is effective to pass signals having frequency characteristics of resonant motion of the vehicle body in the heave, roll and pitch modes, respectively, but to significantly reduce signals having higher frequency characteristics of a vehicle wheel in vertical motion. The additional phase inversion of each of the low pass filters is provided to match the phase of a velocity signal derived from a vehicle body mounted absolute accelerometer.
The method and apparatus may generate relative velocity signals between vehicle wheels and adjacent points on the vehicle body by electrically differentiating the outputs of relative position sensors mounted to sense relative body/wheel motion or directly from relative velocity sensors. The estimated absolute body modal velocity signals may be determined from the relative velocity signals in a digital microcomputer programmed to perform the low pass filtering and phase inversion. Implementation of the low pass filters in a programmed digital microcomputer allows the required phase compensation to be accomplished through simple sign inversion of one or more numerical values, either in selected, stored gain constants of the discrete filter equations or in the output values of those equations.
These and other details and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and following description of a preferred embodiment.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a vehicle body 10 comprising a sprung mass is essentially rectangular in shape and rigid in construction and is supported on wheels 11 at suspension points comprising each of its four corners by suspension apparatus comprising a suspension actuator 12 connected to exert a controllable vertical force between wheel 11 and body 10 at that suspension point. Actuator 12 comprises one or more force generating elements, at least one of which is controllable to vary a force in response to an external electrical signal. Although many such suspension arrangements are known and appropriate to this invention, actuator 12 of this embodiment comprises an electrically controllable, variable force damper in parallel with a weight bearing coil spring in a parallel shock absorber/spring or McPherson strut arrangement. A description of a variable force damper suitable for use as actuator 12 is the bi-state damper described in the previously mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157, although continuously variable dampers and energy providing actuators are also contemplated.
Each corner of the vehicle includes a linear relative position sensor 13 that provides an output signal indicative of the relative vertical distance between the vehicle wheel and the suspended vehicle body at that corner of the vehicle. Relative position sensors 13 may be of the type having a link coupled to the vehicle wheel and pivotally connected to a pivot arm on a rotary resistive device that provides an impedance output that varies with the relative position between wheel 11 and the corner of body 10. Each relative position sensor 13 may include an internal circuit board with a buffer circuit for buffering the output signal of the rotary resistive device. Any alternative type of position sensor, including transformer type sensors, may also be used.
The outputs of relative position sensors 13 are provided to a controller 15 which processes the signals to determine the states of vehicle body 10 and wheels 11 and generates an output actuator control signal for each variable actuator 12. These signals are applied from controller 15 through suitable output apparatus to control actuators 12 in real time. Input signals for the determination of the output actuator control signals may also be provided to microcomputer by vehicle brake apparatus 17 to provide anticipation of vehicle pitch or by a vehicle speed sensor 18 and a steering wheel angular position sensor 19 to provide anticipation of vehicle roll. Obtaining such signals is easily achieved through the use of known types of sensors available to those skilled in the art.
Controller 15 is shown in more detail in FIG. 2. Signals from relative position sensors 13 are low-pass filtered through four analog low-pass filters 24 and differentiated through four analog differentiators 26 to provide four relative velocity signals. An exemplary combination of such a low pass filter and differentiator is shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,255,191, issued Oct. 19, 1993. The resulting relative velocity signals represent the relative velocity between the front left wheel and the front left corner of the body, rv1, the rear left wheel and the rear left corner of the body, rv2, the front right wheel and the front right corner of the body, rv3, and the rear right wheel and the rear right corner of the body, rv4. Each of these relative velocity signals is input to a digital microcomputer 22 which includes an input A/D converter 20 with multiplexed inputs; and each is digitally high-pass filtered within microcomputer 22 by a high pass filter 46 to remove any DC offset introduced by the digitation of A/D converter 20. The resulting filtered relative velocity signals are provided on lines 76, 78, 80 and 82 as a set of inputs to a control algorithm processor 48 to help determine the output actuator control signals for the vehicle suspension system.
Another set of inputs to control algorithm processor 48 were provided in the prior art from vehicle body mounted absolute acceleration sensors, through integrators to obtain the body modal velocities required to define the motion of the full vehicle body for the control of each damper. In this invention, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 2, estimated absolute body modal velocities are derived from the filtered relative velocity signals on lines 76, 78, 80 and 82. These lines provide the filtered relative velocity signals to a geometric transform processor 60 to convert the filtered relative velocity signals to relative body modal velocity signals: a relative heave velocity signal on line 62, a relative roll velocity signal on line 64 and a relative pitch velocity signal on line 66.
In digital microcomputer 22, signals are represented by numbers representing discrete samplings thereof at a 1 Khz sampling rate (1 ms sampling period), and signal processing is accomplished by mathematical algorithms. Geometric transform processor 60 uses the following transform equations to obtain the relative heave velocity signal (RVH), relative roll velocity signal (RVR) and relative pitch velocity signal (RVP) according to this invention:
RVH =(rv1 +rv2 +rv3 +rv4)/4
RVR =(-rv1 -rv2 +rv3 +rv4) /(2*tw)
RVP =(-rv1 +rv2 -rv3 +rv4)/(2*wb)
where tw is the average track width or wheel span of the vehicle and wb is the wheel base of the vehicle. These equations, which use all four relative velocity signals, are well known in the art as transformation equations between body corner vertical parameter (position, velocity, acceleration) signals and the equivalent body heave, roll and pitch parameter (position, velocity, acceleration) signals.
Once microcomputer 22 performs the above transformations in geometric transform processor 60, the relative heave, roll and pitch velocity signals are provided to specially designed digital low-pass filters 67, 68 and 69. Low-pass filters 67-69 provide a significant amplitude roll-off above the 1 Hz signals typical of resonant body modal vibrations so as to suppress the 10 Hz signals typical of resonant vertical wheel vibrations and thus yield a signal with information about the amplitude of vehicle body motion in the heave, roll and pitch modes. However, for such signals to be usefully applied in a real time control system, their phase is critical. Low pass filters tend to produce a phase lag in the signal; and this phase lag increases across the frequency spectrum through a range that increases with the number of filter poles. In order to produce effective control, in real time, of rapidly moving suspension components, the signal must be applied in correct phase relationship thereto. In order to emulate the integrated output of an absolute accelerometer, a phase lead of approximately 90 degrees is required, while a low pass filter generally produces a phase lag. However, it has been found that a two pole, low pass filter applied to the relative body modal velocity signal will produce a signal with a 90 degree phase lag which can be inverted to provide the required 90 degree phase lead.
A suitable second order low-pass filter for use in the estimation according to this invention is described as:
Hq (s)=Kq ωo 2 /(s2 +(ωo Q)s+ωo 2)!,
where Kq is the filter gain, ωo describes the filter pole locations in radians and Q is the filter quality factor. Low-pass filters 67-69 may be adjusted independently for each mode to help tune the resultant estimated modal velocity signals to match, in magnitude and, with an additional phase inversion, in phase, signals achieved by the prior art utilizing accelerometers or to match the performance of another device from which the same measurements may be obtained, such as external velocity sensors or gyroscopes. The values of the filter gain, pole locations and quality factor tend to change from vehicle type to vehicle type due to differences in the natural body and wheel frequencies of different vehicle models. The heave, roll and pitch velocities obtained are estimations, since they are derived from relative measurements and not from absolute measurements.
In one example implementation the continuous time parameters for the low pass filters 67-69 are shown in the following table.
______________________________________MODE Kq ωo Q______________________________________HEAVE -13.889 3 0.35ROLL -18 5 0.50PITCH -7.8125 4 0.40______________________________________
Typical magnitude and phase frequency responses for the two pole, low-pass filters 67-69 are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, respectively. FIG. 3A shows the roll-off in amplitude above i Hz which provides an output signal having mainly vehicle body movement information. FIG. 3B shows the phase response of a two pole, low pass filter having an additional phase inversion. Without the additional phase inversion, the phase curve would be shifted downward by 180 degrees--starting at zero degrees at the left side of the graph and decreasing with increasing frequency--to provide a 90 degrees phase lag at 1 (10�) Hz. With the additional phase inversion, however, the curve is shifted upward to provide a 90 degree phase lead at 1 Hz. Thus, the filter output has the desired phase relationship at the frequency of body resonance. In the table produced above, the additional phase inversion is achieved through the minus sign of the constant Kq.
Referring again to FIG. 2, the estimated absolute body heave, pitch and roll velocities from low pass filters 68, 69 and 70 are provided to control algorithm 48 on lines 70, 72 and 74, respectively; and the relative velocities rv1, rv2, rv3 and rv4 are provided to control algorithm 48 from lines 76, 78, 80 and 82, respectively. Control algorithm 48 may utilize the information of the relative velocities and the estimated absolute body heave, pitch and roll velocities in the same manner as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157 to control a vehicle suspension system. However, while U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157 describes one example for controlling a vehicle suspension responsive to the parameters of vehicle heave, pitch and roll velocity, it will be understood that any control algorithm making use of the estimated body heave, pitch and roll velocities or their equivalents according to this invention to control a vehicle suspension system or to otherwise control a vehicle chassis system such as a traction control system, braking system, etc., in real time, is contemplated by this invention. Control algorithm 48 provides output actuator control signals on lines 50 to output interface circuitry 52, from which they are routed to actuators 12 on lines 54.
FIG. 4 shows a flow routine for general control of a suspension system according to this invention. The flow routine starts at block 170 where it reads inputs from the various sensors as described herein; and it computes the state variables of the suspension system relative velocities and the estimated body heave, pitch and roll velocities at block 171. While the flow diagram shown in FIG. 4 is similar to that shown in FIG. 8 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157, steps 170 and 171, according to this invention, are recognizable as modified from those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157.
At reference 170, since the body accelerometers are no longer required, there are no accelerometer signals to read into microcomputer 22. Thus, this step requires reading the differentiated position sensor signals, as well as any other signal such as vehicle brake, speed or steering, as previously mentioned. Step 171 computes the estimated absolute heave, pitch and roll velocity signals according to this invention, and an example routine for this computation is shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 5 shows the portion of step 171 which determines the estimated absolute modal velocities. The routine begins this determination with steps 180, 182 and 184 using geometric transformations to determine, according to this invention, the relative heave, roll and pitch velocity signals. In performing these programmed steps, microcomputer 22 comprises geometric transform processor 60. At block 180 the current discrete value of the relative heave velocity, RVH (n), is determined according to:
RVH (n)= rv1 (n)+rv2 (n)+rv3 (n)+rv4 (n)!/4,
where rv1 (n), rv2 (n), rv3 (n) and rv4 (n) are the current time relative velocity measurements from the front left, rear left, front right and rear right suspensions.
At block 182 relative roll velocity is determined according to:
RVR (n)= -rv1 (n)-rv2 (n)+rv3 (n)+rv4 (n)!/(2*tw)
where tw is the track width or wheel span of the vehicle. At block 184, relative pitch velocity is determined according to:
RVP (n)= -rv1 (n)+rv2 (n)-rv3 (n)+rv4 (n)!/(2*wb)
where wb is the vehicle wheel base.
In block 188, microcomputer 22 then performs the low-pass filtering of the relative heave velocity RVH (n) to determine the estimated absolute heave velocity H'(n) of the body according to the discrete equation:
H'(n)=kH1 RVH (n)+kH2 RVH (n-1)+kH3 RVH (n-2)-kH4 H'(n-1)-kH5 H'(n-2),
where (n), (n-1), (n-2) refer to the present and previous two time values of the respective variable and the values kH1, kH2, kH3, kH4 and kH5 are the filter constants determined in a manner known to those skilled in the art responsive to the filter gain, Kq, pole locations, ωo, and filter quality factor, Q, described above. As the filter gain, pole locations and filter quality factor are adjusted to adjust performance, the values of the gains kHi will vary accordingly in a known manner. Example values for kH1, kH2, kH3, kH4 and kH5 are -3.117e-5, -6.2233e-5, -3.1117e-5, -1.9915 and 0.99147, respectively, for a bi-linear discretization with alms sampling period, where e-n symbolizes multiplication by 10-n.
At block 190, microcomputer 22 performs the digital low pass filtering of the relative roll velocity, RVR (n), to determine the estimated body absolute roll velocity, R'(n), according the equation:
R'(n)=kR1 RVR (n)+kR2 RVR (n-1)+kR3 RVR (n-2)-kR4 R'(n-1)-kR5 R'(n-2),
where kR1, kR2, kR3, kR4 and kR5 are the filter gains determined in a known manner responsive to the filter gain, pole locations and filter quality factor for the roll velocity low-pass filter. Example values of kR1, kR2, kR3, kR4 and kR5 are -1.1194e-4, -2.2388e-4, -1.1194e-4, -1.9900 and 0.99005, respectively, for a bi-linear discretization with alms sampling period.
At block 192, the estimated body absolute pitch velocity, P'(n), is determined by low-pass filtering the relative pitch velocity, RVP (n), according to the equation:
P'(n)=kP1 RVP (n)+kP2 RVP (n-1)+kP3 RVP (n-2)-kP4 P'(n-1)-kP5 P'(n-2),
where kP1, kP2, kP3, kP4 and kP5 are filter gain constants determined in a manner known to those skilled in the art responsive to the filter gain, pole locations and filter quality factor for the second order low-pass filter for the pitch velocity. Example values of kP1, kP2, kP3, kP4 and kP5 are -3.1094e-5, -6.2819e-5, -3.1094e-5, -1.9900 and 0.99005, respectively, for a bi-linear discretization with alms sampling period.
The results of the two pole, low pass filter equations for the estimated body modal velocities is phase corrected in the following manner. In the discrete equations for H'(n), R'(n) and P'(n), the first three terms, which include the present and previous two values of the relative heave, roll or pitch velocity, represent the numerator of the basic filter equation for Hq (s) and may be called the numerator terms. In order to invert the sign of the evaluated value, it is sufficient to reverse the sign of the filter gain constants for each of these terms. The signs of the last two filter gain constants in each equation, which are the denominator terms including the previous two values of the output estimated modal velocity, are not changed. The sample values given above for the filter gain constants in each of the discrete equations for H'(n), R'(n) and P'(n) incorporate such a sign reversal and are thus phase inverted to change the 90 degree phase lag produced by each filter equation with no such compensation to the desired 90 degree phase lead of the estimated body modal velocities. Of course, a similar result could be achieved by reversing the signs of only the denominator terms.
Using the second order low pass filter and the discrete values determined according to bi-linear discretization, the discrete numerator values above are very small in magnitude. These small numbers may be difficult to represent in a computer having a fixed point, sixteen bit processor, since the least significant bit is 2-15. Floating point processors do not present the same difficulties, but are generally more expensive.
To avoid the difficulties of representing such small numbers in a sixteen bit, fixed point processor, this invention may be implemented with two cascaded first order low pass filters with continuous time forms of:
Q1 (s)=(Kq)1/2 /(s+a1), and
Q2 (s)=(Kq)1/2 /(s+a2),
which are discretized as:
Q1 (z)=a/(1+b1 z-1), and
Q2 (z)=a/(1+b2 z-1).
Example parameters following a bi-linear discretization and alms sampling period for the above filters are:
______________________________________MODE a1 b1 b2______________________________________HEAVE 1.1156e-2 -0.99878 -0.99268ROLL 2.1160e-2 -0.99501 -0.99501PITCH 1.1152e-2 -0.99800 -0.99203______________________________________
According to this implementation, the smallest value in the numerator has its least significant bit in the 0.01 region, which is much bigger than 2-15 and lends to a more precise approach for fixed point processor implementations.
FIG. 6 illustrates the filter flow for the cascaded first order low pass filter implementation. The two filters 176 and 177 are cascaded as shown to produce two pole filter processing. In this implementation the phase inversion is obtained, not by inverting the signs of filter constants, but by inverting the signs of the calculated values in a separate inversion step 178. In form useful for a programmed digital microcomputer, the embodiment of FIG. 6 comprises two single pole, low pass filter equations followed by a sign inversion. An example for estimated absolute body heave velocity H'(n) follows:
H1 '(n)=Ha RVH (n)-Hb1 H1 '(n-1)
H2 '(n)=Ha H1 '(n)-Hb2 H2 '(n-1)
H'(n)=-H2 '(n),
wherein H1 '(n) and H2 '(n) are the intermediate calculated values of the first and second single pole, low pass filters, Ha is the forward gain constant for each of the filter equations and Hb1 and Hb2 are the filter pole calibration constants for the first and second filter equations, respectively. Similar equations are used for estimated absolute body pitch and roll velocities P'(n) and R'(n). The cascaded single pole low pass filters 176, 177 and inverter 178 are considered the equivalent of the previously described two pole, low pass filter with additional phase inversion for purposes of the claims of this patent and are preferred if microcomputer 22 is based on a sixteen bit, fixed point processor. In performing the programmed low pass filtering and phase inversion of the relative body modal velocities as described above, either with the two pole filter algorithm or the cascaded one pole equivalent, microcomputer 22 comprises low pass filters 67-69.
Referring again to FIG. 4, once the state variables are computed at block 171, the routine moves through blocks 172, 173 and 174 wherein it selects gains for desired system performance, determines desired suspension actuator force and generates the output actuator control signals in a manner such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157. At block 175, the output actuator control signals are delivered to actuators 12 for control of the vehicle suspension system. It will be recognized that blocks 172, 173 and 174 can be replaced by any suspension or chassis control algorithm that requires absolute body modal velocity signals such as absolute heave, roll and pitch velocity signals or their equivalents to control vehicle suspension or other chassis systems. Since the details of the functions of blocks 172, 173 and 174 are not central to this invention, they are not reproduced in detail herein. Reference may be made to U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,157, the description of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 show vehicle heave, roll and pitch velocity signals plotted against time for the embodiment of FIGS. 1-6. Traces 200, 204 and 208 represent the absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals derived from body accelerometers as described in the Background of the Invention. Traces 202, 206 and 210 show the estimated absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals determined from the relative position sensors according to this invention. As shown, the estimated absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals shown in traces 202, 206 and 210, derived according to this invention using only the signals of the relative body/wheel position, track the absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity signals shown in traces 200, 204 and 208, derived from the absolute inputs provided by accelerometers 16. Thus, it is shown that accurate estimates of absolute body heave, roll and pitch velocity of a motor vehicle can be achieved according to this invention without the need of any sort of body accelerometer, either point accelerometers as previously described or body axial accelerometers, also known to those skilled in the art.
However, FIGS. 7-9 show an additional advantage over the prior art. A comparison of estimated absolute body modal velocity traces 202, 206 and 210 with the corresponding accelerometer derived absolute body modal velocity traces 200, 204 and 208, respectively, shows that the signals derived according to this invention are smoother, with less high frequency noise, and yet are fully responsive to the low frequency amplitude variations with no time delays. A smoother input signal to the control algorithm leads to more stable suspension control; and the difference can be felt in the vehicle ride.
Some vehicle bodies may have front to rear flexing or flexing within the front or rear suspension that can affect the accuracy of the relative and estimated absolute body roll velocity determined according to this invention. Referring to FIG. 11, the apparatus shown implements this invention to prevent body or suspension flexing from affecting body roll velocity determinations. The apparatus shown is identical to that described above with reference to FIG. 2, except as follows.
In microcomputer 22' of FIG. 11, geometric transform processor 260 is illustrated as three separate geometric transform processors 220, 222 and 224 for achieving the relative body heave, pitch and roll velocity signal transforms, respectively. Processors 220 and 222 achieve the relative body heave and pitch velocity signal transforms as described above with reference to FIG. 2. Processor 224, however, implements the relative roll velocity transform taking into account only the relative velocity sensors at the front or the rear of the vehicle. For example, if a vehicle is found to have rear suspension flexing, the relative body roll velocity is calculated from only the front relative velocity signals rv1 and rv3 on lines 76 and 80 according to the following modified relative roll velocity transform:
RVR =(-rv1 +rv3)/tw.
Block 180 of the control routine shown in FIG. 7 is thus modified as follows:
ti RVR (n)= -rv1 (n)+rv3 (n)!/tw.
By using only rv1 and rv3 as described above, the relative body roll velocity signal is determined in a manner eliminating, or substantially reducing, the effect of body flexing or rear suspension flexing. If a vehicle is found not to have rear suspension flexing but to have front suspension flexing, the rear relative position sensors may be used to determine the relative body roll velocity signal, in which case the signals rv2 and rv4 are used in place of rv1 and rv3 above.
When the relative roll velocity RVR is low pass filtered at block 68 as described above with reference to FIG. 11, the resultant estimated absolute body roll velocity closely tracks the values obtained according to the prior an apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 10, another exemplary implementation of the apparatus of this invention is shown. The vehicle of FIG. 10 is similar to the vehicle shown in FIG. 3 with the modification that relative position sensors 13 have been replaced with relative velocity sensors 99. Each relative velocity sensor has a first part affixed to vehicle wheel assembly 11 and a second part affixed to vehicle body 10' in a manner similar to the mounting of position sensors 13. With the occurrence of relative movement between a wheel assembly 11 and vehicle body 10', each relative velocity sensor 99 outputs a signal indicating the relative velocity of the respective wheel 11 relative to the adjacent corner of body 10'. Use of relative velocity sensors eliminates the need of the differentiation circuitry required to obtain relative velocity signals from the relative position sensors. However, if a vehicle load leveling system is also implemented, another vehicle height sensor may be required. Sensors suitable for use as relative velocity sensors are known to and readily available to those skilled in the art, and the details of particular sensors need not be set forth herein.
Referring now to FIG. 12, with the vehicle as shown in FIG. 10 utilizing relative velocity sensors 99, the implementation of the sensors and circuitry is simplified as shown. In place of position sensors 13, low pass filters 24 and differentiators 26 (FIGS. 4 and 12), relative velocity sensors 99 are implemented and provide their signals directly to A/D converter 20 of microcomputer 22. If desired, external low pass filters may be implemented. Internally, microcomputer 22 may function either as shown in FIG. 2 or as in FIG. 11.
The above-described implementations of this invention are example implementations. Moreover, various other improvements and modifications to this invention may occur to those skilled in the art; and such improvements and modifications will fall within the scope of this invention as set forth below.

Hexagram of the Day
20: Overview
Overview is a time for composure and contemplation. As a result of profound introspection, a hidden force reveals itself, and may influence others without their being aware of it. Do not underestimate the power of such a subtle force. Like the wind blowing across the treetops, its presence is perceived through the effect it has on everything it touches.
Shallow wells rarely strike water and shallow minds often come up empty. The ability to keep still and simply observe deepens resolve and attracts good fortune. Discern the difference between what is deep and what is surface within yourself — and you will be able to distinguish between the two in the world as well.
During a period between events, the practice of stillness with awareness is fruitful. Only by observing and absorbing the true nature of things — by apprehending the rhythms and cycles that guide all creation — can we discover the laws that apply to our own individual lives. Examine yourself and the overall situation — not just with the thought of discovering truth, but with the vision of concentrating your personal power.

TMZ used their usual waiting-outside-of-restaurant tactic to catch up with Jerry Heller the other night. In the short conversation with the former Eazy-E manager, Heller gives his stance on Suge Knight's recent legal troubles.
Eazy-E founded Ruthless Records with NWA manager Jerry heller in 1986. The two worked together quite closely, and Ellis recently revealed in a radio interview, that he once had to talk him out of killing Death Row records CEO Suge Knight.

Here's my moreA good ending to a fantastic trilogy. The game overall is great and I got addicted to it the moment I sat down to play it. Here's my more in-depth review:
Great story! Scarecrow was a fantastic villain and his plan, not gonna spoil anything, is actually really clever with good execution. He is believable, really creepy and the performance is very good. He is very threatening and confident for most the greatest deal of the game and I really liked his design. The Arkham Knight was kind of an opposite to him. Where Scarecrow is calculating and intimidating, the Arkham Knight is more of a brute and angry force. They make for a great villain duo, though the reveal of who the Arkham Knight is wasn't that enormous of a surprise, but it is still pretty cool. There is also a lot of mind trickery and really awesome insights into Batman's mind, which stole the show for me. So, overall, the story is really good, but not perfect and Arkham City definitely had a better story.
Probably the best graphics I've ever seen in a game. Surpasses the Witcher 3 in some ways, but as for the lighting, the Witcher 3 definitely wins.
Just as in Arkham City and Arkham Asylum the gameplay is fantastic and flying over the roofs of Gotham is a blast. The Batmobile is a lot of fun to drive. Especially car chases are a lot of fun. Combat is good, but nothing to write home about and it can be incredibly frustrating. Especially one part near the end. The game itself is far too easy, so I recommend playing it on hard.
The world is beautifully crafted, but doesn't feel incredibly big. There's three islands, each one about as big as Arkham City. The world is packed with stuff to look at and there's plenty of stuff to do. There's several side missions, but nothing too exciting, really. Just your average repetitive missions. So again, nothing to write home about in the side missions.
Sound design is really good and the voice work is absolutely amazing as always. The music is nothing too special. There's no song that'll be stuck in your head for a long time or anything.
It's a really good game, but not as good as we all expected it to be. There's a lot of fantastic stuff in it, but also some missteps, but overall it's quite a good ending to a fantastic series. Definitely worth a buy, but I wouldn't say it'll be my personal Game of the Year for this year. There are games that are going to come out or that have come out that are definitely superior this year, like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 or Xenoblade Chronicle X. Still a fantastic game!… Expand
Average User Score: 8.7Jun 14, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played all the bigger God of War games, but none is like God of War III... That is in a bad way. The gameplay's basically what you expect; Hack 'n' Slash. It's more fluid than before, but it's still not very revolutionary. Then again, there is no problem with that. There are 3 more weapons, but you'll probably stick with the Blades of Athena (I know they are the Blades of Exile). The graphics, well, haven't improved really. Think about it; God of War II had by far the best graphics on the PS2. Characters were all greatly animated and so was the environment. In GoW III it seems they focused WAAAY too much on Kratos, who basically looks fantastic (Except for his feet), but all other characters and very often the environment just look, compared to Kratos, crappy. The music's awesome, the voice acting solid, but lip-syncing sometimes didn't fit. Now that that's covered, let's get to the most important subject: The Story. I don't understand why so many reviews state the story is great and a superb ending, it's simply not. First of all, the length of it: How is it that the Titans, these huge creatures, had to fight for decades to be defeated by the Gods and Kratos kills a bunch of them in about half a day? Now to the main plot: How come Kratos being a jerk suddenly, instead of that guy from God of War II, who actually cared about his family? He destroys the entire world, which means he destroyed Hades, which means he destroyed Elysium, which means he destroyed his daughter... again. Why is through the destruction of the Sisters of Fate and Kratos bringing the Titans to the "present" no influence at all? I mean, how come nobody noticing that the Titans suddenly aren't in Tartarus anymore? Plus, why the heck is Cronus in Tartar-sauce and where is Atlas? C'mon, even if Atlas got his soul or something ripped out, he could still be in the present and after destroying Hades he would've reclaimed his soul. Moving on, Athena. Why? Or better, why is she a greedy ghost, who wants to rule the earth and suddenly has huge breasts? If Ares can't return from the dead, hell, if DEATH can't return from death, how can Athena? It would've been more logical if Kratos had just descended to Hades (without dying) and found Athena, Ares, Thanatos, Deimos, Lysandra (his wife) and Calliope there. That would've been pretty awesome. Alright then, why are the Gods mortal? Seriously, the only Gods, or rather creatures, that were killed by the Blade of Olympus were Cronus, Gaia and Zeus, it didn't exactly kill him, but, oh, well. Hephaestus didn't have anything to do with Pandora's Box. He created Padora, but only on the bidding of Zeus and he wasn't like her father. She was "born" as a grown up woman. Pandora's Boy, yeah it did contain the evils of the world, but they would've only been released upon the mortal world. I know that God of War isn't that true on Greek Myth (Check GoW I & II) but at least do somethings right. Daedalus didn't have anything to do with Zeus either. Why Icarus wanted to go to the Sisters of Fate isn't very clear, but at least he had some reason for existence. The Titans, too, were as important as Kratos' butthole. SCE Santa Monica promised there would be entire levels, built on the back of Titans. Where are they? The only real level on an entire Titan was the fight with Cronus and the battle against Poseidon on Gaia. (They were the two most spectaculare battles, too, but killing a God by pushing your thumbs into his eyes is nonsense.) Okay, now what the hell did they want to achieve with the crap about Pandora? "Hope makes us strong, it is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost." WTF? So, basically, what this is supposed to mean is; Hope destroys the earth. Yeah, that makes total sense, right? When the game starts, Kratos is repeating his awesome line from GoW II in a boring way, daylight has returned and, for some reason, the Gods were prepared for the battle. How come? I'll tell you how! During the three years of development Kratos, Gaia and Zeus made a deal. Zeus "Can you please come back later, we got here some business to do, you know. Reparing this place, getting an army to fight you." Kratos "Oh, yeah sure. we'll wait three years for you. I think the weather'll be much better then, too. I got to pump my muscles anyway. I'll say that sentence again, so you can remember better, pops." Zeus "Alright, son. See you in three years. Oh, by the way, Hermes is gonna be replaced." Well, that's probably the only reasonable explanation for the **** start of a **** story which a **** douche-bag created. My verdict: If you want a great and epic Hack 'n' Slash/Action game, buy God of War III, but if you want a great story, pass.… Expand

TV Ratings: 'Person of Interest,' 'Mentalist' lead CBS Thursday rout
'X Factor' slips, 'Prime Suspect' slides, Katie Couric is ignored
Follow HitFix: Follow @hitfix
Led by new episodes of "Person of Interest" and "The Mentalist," CBS comfortably won Thursday night facing either repeats or viewer-shunned offerings like ABC's Katie Couric special or NBC's "Prime Suspect."
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 2.8 rating for the night, topping FOX's 2.2 rating in the key demographic. ABC was third with a 1.6 rating, doubling up NBC's 0.8 rating. The CW averaged a 0.3 rating in the key demo.
Overall, CBS averaged nearly 11.9 million viewers and a 7.4 rating/12 share for Thursday primetime. FOX was a distant second with a 4.7/7 and 7.54 million viewers, still way ahead of ABC's 3.7/6 and 5.81 million viewers. NBC's 1.8/3 and 2.63 million viewers still bettered the 0.7/1 and 945,000 viewers for The CW.
[Univision averaged 3.46 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 for Thursday primetime.]
8 p.m. - The 8 p.m. block was the only hour that featured any real competition on Thursday. CBS finished first overall and a close second among adults 18-49 with a "Big Bang Theory" repeat (10.145 million viewers and a 2.8 key demo) and a new "Rules of Engagement" (9.71 million viewers and a 2.7 key demo). FOX's "The X Factor" averaged 9.65 million viewers for second overall and won the hour with a 2.8 (or even 2.85) key demo rating, though both numbers represented declines from recent results episodes. ABC's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was third with 6.405 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating. NBC's repeats of "Community" and "Parks & Recreation" averaged 2.05 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo rating. The CW's "Vampire Diaries" repeat averaged 1.015 million viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - CBS moved into a comfortable lead in the 9 p.m. hour with the 12.79 million viewers and 2.8 rating among adults 18-49 for "Person of Interest." ABC's "The Year With Katie Couric" special was a distant second with 5.73 million viewers, edging out the 5.42 million viewers for FOX's "Bones" repeat, while both networks delivered a 1.5 key demo rating. NBC's "The Office" and "Whitney" repeats averaged only 2.23 million viewers and a 0.9 rating, again staying ahead of only The CW's repeat of "Secret Circle," which averaged 874,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - "The Mentalist" capped CBS' primetime win with 12.98 million viewers and a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49 for the 10 p.m. hour. ABC's Katie Couric special slipped to 5.31 million viewers and a 1.4 key demo rating in its second hour.

I don't mind giving a testimonial at all. I was doing some research online for some new taillights for my 2001 Toyota 4Runner and your site was one of the easiest to navigate. I was able to find the parts I needed for a price half of what I was expecting to pay which made my experience painless. My taillights arrived when expected and packaged securely. I would recommend this website to any of my friends in a heart beat. Thank you for your interest in my experience. Whitney

Price Quality Average: 4.5 / 5 stars***EDIT***. Recieved a call from Mr. Smith and he explained to me that they were having problems with their phone system. Stated that he was concerned about my experience and was sending me a new radiator as we spoke. Got the new radiator in a week (that was great) and send back my old one. Considering I have no reason to not believe the company i am revising my review and rating to good as of 4/08/2009. I ordered a A2207 Koyo Radiator from this company on Monday, March 23, 2009 and recieved on the 28th. That was great until i opened the box and saw that the overflow nipple was busted of and the radiator was twisted. To be fair i tried to contact them on Saturday (28th) and now again on Monday (30th). What worries me is i cant leave a message and nobody answers the phone. As an auditor that raises a red flag instantly. Also, statistically speaking, thier bias towards all great reviews and then some bad reviews is an oddity. Statiscally speaking, most reviews should fall in theby hross14

Agnieszka Radwanska's most successful winning streak came to an end on Tuesday when she was knocked out of the Australian Open quarter-finals by China's Li Na, though the 23-year-old Pole had not lost her sense of humour.Radwanska had won the Auckland and Sydney titles prior to the season-opening grand slam and then romped into the quarters at Melbourne Park, building a 13-match winning streak.She had also not dropped a set in 2013 until she lost 7-5 6-3 to Li in Tuesday's match and immediately replied that meant more work was on her schedule. "I'm going to go now and practice, to the gym, running," she said when asked what she now planned to do after such a busy start to the season."No, I'm just kidding," she said laughing as she realised the punchline had been missed by the assembled journalists."No, please. No, of course I'm going to have a few days off definitely. I go home for a little bit. Then the next thing is Fed Cup, Doha, Dubai."
"She's a very consistent player. She's always playing on the same level. It's not like up and down like the other girls"
Agnieszka Radwanska speaking about Li Na
Radwanska, who lost to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon final last year, had beaten Li in the Sydney semi-finals prior to the Australian Open and had entered the match confident of advancing to her second grand slam semi-final. The consistent Chinese, who won three of their four clashes in 2012, however, had stepped up her performance from Sydney, the 23-year-old Radwanska said."She was very solid from the beginning of the match," Radwanska said.
"She was really playing good tennis.
"She's a very consistent player. She's always playing on the same level. It's not like up and down like the other girls. She's always playing solid tennis."Neither player is known for having an overpowering serve, though Li's ability to capitalise on break points during the match proved the difference. The 2011 French Open champion converted six of her seven break point opportunities, while Radwanska managed to convert four from 10.Li also tightened up on her serve in the second set, with Radwanska having just three break point opportunities, two in the final game of the match, but Li reeled off four successive points, three from unforced errors, to clinch the victory. "Some of the games she didn't let me do anything. Very deep balls all the time. Good serve. "I had my chances. But when you're not really taking them, it's really turning around and it goes away. "She was really playing good tennis today."

Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Jun 18, 2008
Ave Maria!Friar Gabriel's brother, friar Didacus, himself being an accomplished skater, recently visited our two friaries in Western Australia, and while he was there shot another video of Friar Gabriel skateboarding. He used some of the original footage shot in 2004 but also took some great footage by riding a skateboard himself and holding the camera. He then edited the results together with some music from Fr Maximilian Mary Dean and here's the result - great stuff! Ave Maria!
