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 26):
A vehicle suspension system comprising:\n a first shock absorber system including:\n a housing containing a compression volume and an extension volume; \n a piston slidably received in the housing, wherein the piston separates the compression volume from the extension volume; \n a pressurized reservoir configured to receive fluid from the extension volume; \n a bidirectional hydraulic machine that includes a first port and a second port, wherein the bidirectional hydraulic machine is configured to operate as a hydraulic motor in a first mode of operation and as a hydraulic pump in a second mode of operation; \n one or more valves, wherein each valve of the one or more valves is configured to control flow between the reservoir and the extension volume; \n a first fluid flow path between the compression volume and the extension volume that includes the first port and the second port; \n an electric machine operatively coupled to the bidirectional hydraulic machine, wherein the electric machine is configured to operate as an electric generator in the first mode of operation and as an electric motor in the second mode of operation; \n a controller configured to control a response of the vehicle suspension system based on a driving condition.
