Abstract:
A regenerative shock absorber that include a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.

Claim (Index 27):
An active shock absorber comprising:\n a bidirectional hydraulic machine that includes a first port and a second port; an electric machine operatively coupled to the first bidirectional hydraulic machine, wherein the electric machine is configured to operate as a generator in a first mode of operation and configured to operate as an electric motor in a second mode of operation; a housing containing a compression volume and an extension volume; a piston slidably received in the housing, wherein the piston separates the compression volume from the extension volume; a pressurized reservoir configured to receive fluid from at least one volume selected from the group consisting of the extension volume and the compression volume; a first valve configured to control flow between the reservoir and the compression volume; a second valve configured to control flow between the reservoir and the extension volume; a first bypass fluid flow path that fluidly connects the compression volume to the extension volume without passing through the first port and the second port; a first fluid flow path that fluidly connects the compression volume to the first port; and a second fluid flow path that fluidly connects the extension volume to the second port; wherein the active shock absorber is configured to apply a resistive force in the first mode and an active force in the second mode.
