An active suspension system with body wearable device integration is disclosed. The system includes a prosthetic having a shock assembly with at least one active valve and a controller communicatively coupled with the at least one active valve of the shock assembly, the controller configured to communicate damping adjustment information to the at least one active valve of the shock assembly, the damping adjustment information used by said at least one active valve to modify a damping characteristic of the shock assembly.

A solar tracker system includes a support tube, a solar panel assembly connected to the support tube, and an active lock connected to the support tube. The active lock includes a housing defining a chamber and a seal. The seal prevents a flow of fluid through the chamber when the active lock is in a sealed state and allows the flow of fluid through the chamber when the active lock is in an unsealed state. The active lock further includes a locking system motor connected to the seal to transition the active lock between the sealed state and the unsealed state, a battery providing power to the locking system motor, and an antenna for receiving instructions controlling the locking system motor.

A shock absorber body assembly is disclosed that is includes a shock body formed of a cylinder defining a top cylinder end and a bottom cylinder end, and having a cylinder wall that surrounds a cylinder cavity. The cylinder wall is defined by a solid interior portion and a raised cooling pattern disposed on and proud of an exterior side of cylinder wall. The raised cooling pattern is comprised of one or more fins, wherein the raised cooling pattern is configured to provide for heat transfer from hydraulic fluid within the cavity of the cylinder cavity to an environment external to the shock absorber body assembly. The raised cooling pattern includes one or more cooling fins that extend along a length of the cylinder in a straight line and extend outwardly from the cylinder wall in an orthogonal direction, a cooling lattice mesh, or a cooling gyroid mesh.

A dual piston adjuster for a shock absorber has a first damping piston and a second damping piston. A first fluid path includes a first cross-sectional flow area and provides fluid communication of a working fluid to bypass the damping pistons. A second fluid path provides fluid communication of the working fluid from the first fluid path through the first damping piston and the second damping piston in series. A third fluid path includes a second cross-sectional flow area and provides fluid communication of the working fluid from the second fluid path at a location between the first damping piston and the second damping piston to bypass the second damping piston. A first adjustable valve is provided to selectively adjust a first pressure drop of the working fluid in the first fluid path and a second adjustable valve is provided to selectively adjust a second pressure drop of the working fluid in the third fluid path.
