Filed: 2015-07-08
Abstract: A vehicle suspension system 10 comprises: at least one suspension bellows 22; a source of pressurised fluid 14; a supply line 16 which extends between the suspension bellows 22 and the source of pressurised fluid 14 via a raise/lower valve 24; and a manually operable operating member 26 which is movable between a raise position, a lower position and a drive position. The operating member 26 is connected to the raise/lower valve 24 which is configured such that when the operating member 26 is moved to the raise position, the raise/lower valve 24 moves to a raise position in which the suspension bellows 22 are directly connected to the source of pressurised fluid 14. When the operating member 26 is moved to the lower position, the raiser/lower valve 24 moves to a lower position in which suspension bellows 22 are vented to a low pressure region. When the operating member 26 is moved to the drive position, the raise/lower valve 24 moves to a drive position in which the suspension bellows 22 are connected to the or a source of pressurised fluid 14 via an electrically operated suspension valve assembly 12. The raise/lower valve 24 is further provided with a fluid pressure operated actuator 28 which moves the raise/lower valve 24 to the drive position when pressurised fluid is supplied to the actuator 28, and a pilot pressure line 30 by means of which pressurised fluid is supplied to the actuator 28.

Title: A hardened random number generator
Inventor: Lynn bos
IPC: G06F21/75
Filed: 2017-09-21
Abstract: A random number generator comprising a ring oscillator 740 configured to collapse from an unstable oscillation state to a stable oscillation state at a random collapse time and counter 750 counting a counter value representing the random collapse time. The count value is truncated to generate the random number. The random number may undergo post-processing, e.g. as a seed for a pseudo random number generator; a bit obfuscator may swap bit locations; a bit churner may XOR a random numbers together. A phrase frequency detector may detect collapse from a first frequency to a second frequency by comparison with a reference oscillator 750.

Title: Flotation raft type driving seat structure of crawler-type cereal combine harvester
Inventor: ZHONG TANG
IPC: B60N2/54
Filed: 2017-09-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a flotation raft type driving seat structure of a crawler-type cereal combine harvester, comprising a driving seat structure (4), a flotation raft bearing stage (5), a left roller shock-absorber (6), a right roller shock-absorber (7) and a vertical shock-absorber (8), wherein an upper side of the flotation raft bearing stage (5) is connected to the driving seat (4) structure, left and right sides of the flotation raft bearing stage (5) are respectively connected to the left roller shock-absorber (6) and the right roller shock-absorber (7), and a lower side of the flotation raft bearing stage (5) is connected to the vertical shock-absorber (8). When vibration of a driving station base bearing plate (3) is transferred to the flotation raft bearing stage (5), the vertical shock-absorber (8) performs frequency filtering and vibration isolation, residual excitation force is balanced by bending resistance and resilience of a transverse helical compression spring (705). When vibration of a side wall of a driving cab is transferred to the flotation raft bearing stage (5), a left roller (702) and a right roller (702) respectively roll on a circular arc of a bearing stage left arc plate (503) and a bearing stage right arc plate (502) to eliminate the excitation force of the side wall of the driving cab. The seat structure is simple, low in cost and has good universality, and can be used for eliminating excitation of the seat caused by the side wall of the driving cab and the driving station base bearing plate during operation of the crawler-type cereal combine harvester.
