Patent ID: 8627930

Claim:
A suspension system in vehicle comprising: at least one shock absorber having a piston or ram at one end, at least one active and variable response bushing connected to the shock absorber, the bushing having a variable response rate for absorption of deflections while driving and comprises a first chamber with the piston or ram located therein, the first chamber being connected to and positioned between the shock absorber and a frame of the vehicle, at least one remote chamber or vessel connected to the first chamber, conduits connecting the first chamber with the remote chamber or vessel, fluid within at least one of the chambers, means to convey the fluid from one chamber to another, wherein the means for conveying the fluid is a pump, or a flexible or elastomeric chamber, or a coil spring adapted to urge the first chamber to its initial position, means of controlling the pressure in the remote chamber or vessel, comprising either the pump, the flexible or elastomeric chamber, or the coil spring, valving or sealing means comprising pistons or constriction of the conduit to close or restrict the conveyance of fluid, and sensing means selected, from the group consisting of accelerometers, computers, pressure sensors, and linear movement sensors for sensing tilt and wherein the sensing means is adapted to communicate with said valving or sealing means.
