Integrated active valve assembly

An integrated active valve assembly comprising:

• a suspension controller module, the suspension controller module comprising:
• a housing;
• a controller;
• a battery;
• and
• at least one sensor;
• an active shock assembly, said active shock assembly configured to automatically adjust its operation and a corresponding damping characteristic based upon operational information pertaining to a vehicle to which said active shock assembly is coupled, wherein said active shock assembly comprises:
• at least one active valve;
• and
• wherein said suspension controller module can automatically and without requiring user intervention send a signal to said active shock assembly, said signal to modify said damping characteristic of said active shock assembly during use of said vehicle, wherein said suspension controller module is a self-contained module in which said housing is integrated with said suspension controller module, said battery, and said at least one sensor, wherein said suspension controller module does not require any external sensors or power source for said suspension controller module to perform the functions of said integrated active valve assembly, such that a stand-alone active valve control shock assembly is provided, wherein said stand-alone active valve control shock assembly does not require any wired connection to any component outside of said housing, said suspension controller module and said active shock assembly configured to be mounted to a suspension of said vehicle such that a relative position of said suspension controller module and said active shock assembly with respect to each other remains unchanged when said suspension is compressed.

An integrated active valve assembly comprising:

• a self-contained suspension controller module comprising:
• a housing;
• a controller;
• a battery;
• and
• one or more sensors;
• an active shock assembly comprising at least one active valve, said active shock assembly configured to automatically adjust its operation and a corresponding damping characteristic based upon operational information pertaining to a vehicle to which said active shock assembly is coupled;
• and
• wherein said self-contained suspension controller module can automatically and without requiring user intervention communicate an adjustment input to said at least one active valve, said adjustment input to modify said damping characteristic of said active shock assembly during use of said vehicle, wherein said self-contained suspension controller module is a self-contained module in which said housing is integrated with said self-contained suspension controller, said battery, and said one or more sensors, wherein said self-contained suspension controller module does not require any external sensors or power source for said self-contained suspension controller module to perform the functions of said integrated active valve assembly, such that a stand-alone active valve control shock assembly is provided, wherein said stand-alone active valve control shock assembly does not require any wired connection to any component outside of said housing, said suspension controller module and said active shock assembly configured to be mounted to a suspension of said vehicle such that a relative position of said suspension controller module and said active shock assembly with respect to each other remains unchanged when said suspension is compressed.
