A vehicle suspension system includes a pair of pivotal arms 3, 4, a respective hydraulic cylinder 7a, 8a interposed between the arms and the chassis, and respective hydraulic accumulators 7b, 8b associated with the cylinders via means, such as a slide valve 17, which is selectively operable to provide communication between each cylinder and its associated accumulator, to provide communication between the two cylinders in isolation from their associated accumulators, or to isolate each cylinder to hydraulically lock the same.  The arms 3, 4 are connected by torsion bar 5. Suitable damping is incorporated in the system by the provision of restrictions 27, 28 and non- return valves 25, 26. In one position of the slide valve 17, as shown, chambers 7a, 7b and 8a, 8b are isolated from each other and chambers 7a, 8a have no intercommunication. In a second position the chambers are isolated as before, but chambers 7a, 8a are placed in communication. In a third position chambers 7a, 7b and 8a, 8b are interconnected, and a restricted conduit 24 also allows exchange between chambers 7a, 7b and chambers 8a, 8b. The torsion bar 5 is connected by way of a flexible linkage 30 to a slide valve 29; the linkage thus senses the height of the chassis relative to the wheels and operates the slide valve 29 as necessary. When valve 17 is in its third position it also allows communication between chambers 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b and the throughput, if any, of valve 29 to regulate the vehicle height. The linkage 30 can be altered manually.

Title: Peripheral controllers in digital computer subsystems
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 1973-05-15
Abstract: 1410838 Peripheral controllers HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 15 May 1973 [15 May 1972 (2)] 23151/73 Heading G4A A peripheral device controller comprises a control store 50 (Fig. 2), at least two adaptor ports (110, 130, Fig. 1, not shown) connected with a peripheral device (115) and a central processor (135), first and second sets of working registers (including sets of accumulator registers 105), an adaptor port address register 121, a control memory address register 136, an address storage register 129 and a bi-stable pointer element (272, 290, Fig. 3b, not shown) receiving control signals from logic circuits responsive to interrupt signals for the adaptor ports for indicating a first set of working registers when in its normal state and a second set of registers when in its interrupt state, the existing control memory address being transferred to the register 129 in the latter instance. With no interrupts being processed and assuming adaptor interface microinstruction (characterized by the bits ROB 0-2  of a microinstruction being "1") is not being executed, if an interrupt (I 1 , Fig. 3a, not shown) is received from its associated port, flip-flops (240, 243) are set to indicate a low level interrupt. Flip-flop (272) in the bi-stable pointer is also set and the control store address saved, a branch to a new address specified by register 128 or switches 134, 135 being effected. The controller adaptor number is entered in register 121 (by setting a flip-flop (366, Fig. 4b, not shown)) to deliver an output signal (DAN 1 ). If a subsequent interrupt is received from a higher priority port, it is treated as a high level interrupt and causes flip-flops (243, 235, Fig. 3a, not shown) to be set and the flip-flop in the bi-stable pointer to be reset. The number in the register 121 is then set to this number.  An antihog device ensures that if, immediately after servicing a high priority adaptor port, both this port and another require service the lower priority port is serviced next. For high speed data transfer a link adaptor port and a controller adaptor port are both selected. Alternatively fast transfer may be effected during a main memory cycle from the memory to an adaptor port.
