Abstract: A rebound cushion (24) for a body mount (20) is disclosed. The rebound cushion (24)
includes an outer cushion (52) formed from an elastomeric material having a first
durometer. The rebound cushion (24) also includes an inner cushion (54) formed from an
elastomeric material having a second durometer, wherein the first durometer of the

Title: Secure mutual network authentication protocol
Inventor: MACKENZIE PHILIP DOUGLAS
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2000-07-03
Abstract: A password-only mutual network authentication protocol and key exchange
protocol using a public key encryption scheme in which a server generates a public key / secret
key pair and transmits the public key to a client. The client determines whether the
public key was chosen in an acceptable manner, and if so, continues with the protocol.
Otherwise, the client rejects authentication. If the protocol is continued, in one
embodiment the client generates a parameter  p  as a function of the public key and a
password (or, in an alternate embodiment, as a function of the public key and a function of
a password). If the public key space mapping function  F PK    applied to  p ,  F PK (p) , is an
element of the public key message space, then the protocol continues. If  F PK (p)  is not an
element of the public key message space, then the client determines to reject
authentication, but continues with the protocol so that the server does not gain any
information about the password. If the client determines to reject authentication, it will
terminate the protocol at a later step at which time the termination of the protocol cannot
leak any sensitive information. If both the client and the server accept authentication, then
session keys are generated for subsequent secure communication between the client and
server. Specific embodiments are disclosed in which RSA is used as the public key
encryption scheme.

Abstract: A phase/frequency detector includes two D-Q flip-flops (102, 104), an OR gate (106), and an exclusive NOR (XNOR) gate (108). The phase/frequency detector is used in conjunction with a clock dejitter PLL where the underflow and overflow flags from a FIFO are coupled to the inputs of the OR gate and the Q outputs of the flip-flops are coupled to the inputs of the XNOR gate. When the phase is locked, the output of the XNOR has a 50 % duty cycle which causes the voltage across the filter to remain constant which maintains a steady VCXO output frequency. The FIFO will either underflow or overflow if the recovered clock and the VCXO run at different speeds. In this case, the flip-flops generate correction pulses that will drive the PLL filter voltage to the point where the VCXO is running at the correct frequency.

Abstract: A shock absorber includes a valve assembly with a low speed
valving system and a high speed valving system. Both systems
control fluid flow through the respective valve assembly for
fluid flow in the same direction. The low speed valving system
is independently tunable in order to provide low speed damping
to improve both the vehicle control and handling. The
independent tuning of the low speed valving system allows the
optimization of the low speed valving system in relation to
the high speed valving system as well as the independent
tuning of the high speed valving system in relation to the low
speed valving system. The independent tuning of the two
systems allow the achievement of a smooth transition between
the two systems. The dual valving systems can be incorporated
into the piston for a compression stroke, be incorporated into
the piston for an extension stroke, or two dual valving
systems can be incorporated into the piston for compression
and extension strokes.
