Patent ID: 7942248

Claim:
A motion control device comprising: a suspension system damping device having a piston with a first piston end stop and a second piston end stop, said first piston end stop and said second piston end stop defining a suspension system damping device maximum piston travel distance, said suspension system damping device having a first control limit, said first control limit defining a first position along said maximum piston travel distance at which a first control limit piston sensor is set to trip proximate said first piston end stop, said suspension system damping device having a second control limit, said second control limit defining a second position along said maximum piston travel distance at which a second control limit piston sensor is set to trip proximate said second piston end stop, a suspension system damping device first mode having a first steady state level of damping, said first steady state level of damping corresponding to a normal operation damping outside said first control limit and said second control limit and within said maximum piston travel distance; a suspension system damping device end stop second mode having a second end stop level of damping corresponding to a predetermined function, wherein said motion control device does not sense a specific detailed present position of said piston within said maximum piston travel distance outside said first control limit and said second control limit, said motion control device applying said suspension system damping device end stop second mode second end stop level of damping when said piston is in said first control limit and said second control limit, and said motion control device applying said suspension system damping device first mode first steady state level of damping when said piston is outside said first control limit and said second control limit.
