Abstract: A suspension control system for use with shock absorbers provided between sprung and unsprung masses of an automotive vehicle at the positions of the respective vehicle road wheels for providing variable damping force characteristics. The suspension control system includes sensors mounted on the vehicle for sensing sprung mass vertical accelerations acting in a predetermined direction with respect to the vehicle at the respective road wheel positions. A component of the vehicle longitudinal acceleration acting in the predetermined direction is calculated as a function of vehicle pitching angle and vehicle longitudinal acceleration. The sensed sprung mass vertical accelerations are corrected in a direction to cancel the calculated vehicle longitudinal acceleration component. The shock absorbers are controlled based on the respective corrected sprung mass vertical accelerations.

Abstract: A fiber optic light line unit provides a uniform linear beam of illumination
onto a target, such as a traveling web. A number of fiber optic bundles (23)
have distal ends that are butted together end to end to create a long, seamless line
of uniform strip lighting. The unit has a housing (11) ) in which distal portions of
the fiber optic bundles fan out so that the termini (28) of the fibers are arrayed in
a single continuous fiber row (16) at a distal face plate of the housing. The ends
of the row of each bundle abut the ends of the adjacent row from another bundle.
In one embodiment the housing has first and second halves (12, 13) that
sandwich the fiber termini, and there are respective sawtooth or similar recesses
that each hold a respective fiber end or terminus. A cylindrical lens can be (37)
disposed with its axis across the linear beam of light. The fibers are held with
their termini at a predetermined slant angle, e.g., thirty degrees, so that the light
emanating from the unit impinges on a target at an angle (45). This reveals
defects (41, 42) that may be oriented in the travel direction of the web.
