First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for determining a distance between a vehicular suspension assembly and the ground, the suspension assembly having a first member, the system comprising:
- a first transceiver coupled to the first member for emitting a first interrogation signal toward the ground, and for receiving a first reflection of the first interrogation signal from the ground; and
a processor coupled to the first transceiver and configured to determine the distance of the first transceiver from the ground.

13. A system for determining a distance between a sprung mass of a vehicular suspension assembly and an unsprung mass of the suspension assembly, the system comprising:
-
a first transceiver coupled to one of the sprung mass or the unsprung mass for emitting a first interrogation signal toward the ground, and for receiving a first reflection of the first interrogation signal reflected from the ground; a second transceiver coupled to the other of the sprung mass or the unsprung mass for emitting a second interrogation signal toward the ground, and for receiving a second reflection of the second interrogation signal reflected from the ground; and a processor coupled to the first and second transceivers configured to determine the distance between the sprung mass and the unsprung mass. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for determining a vertical distance of travel of an actuator assembly for a vehicle having a suspension assembly, the suspension assembly having a first member and a second member, the actuator assembly having a first end coupled to the first member and a second end coupled to the second member, the system comprising:
-
a first transceiver coupled to the first end for emitting a first interrogation signal toward the ground, and for receiving a first reflection of the first interrogation signal reflected from the ground; a second transceiver coupled to the second end for emitting a second interrogation signal toward the ground, and for receiving a second reflection of the second interrogation signal reflected from the ground; and a processor coupled to the first and second transceivers and configured to; substantially simultaneously prompt the first and second transceivers to emit the first and second interrogation signals, respectively, and determine the vertical distance of travel of the actuator assembly. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
