Nowadays, the problem of the pollution, the cost of the energy, the
traffic congestions and the progress in the technology of control
systems more recently motivated a new interest in small narrow
commuters vehicles for individual mobility. However these kind of
vehicles are likely to have reduced stability against overturning
during cornering due to the particular geometric with a narrow
track width and relatively high center of gravity. This brings
about the need for an active control system that ensures the tilt
stability or an appropriate leaning during cornering without
affecting the handling of the vehicle. Hence, Active Tilt and Steer
control tends to be an alternative strategy that combines the
action of traditional power steer and tilting actuator acting on
the front suspension in order to allows the vehicle stays upright
at lower speeds, and at higher speeds allows car-like steering
while the vehicle self-leans into the curves like a motorcycle.

Matthew Sobol is dead, but his final creation survives. It begins
with a bizarre murder, where the only possible perpetrator happens
to be dead. As more killings follow, the police are completely out
of their depth. It falls to the unlikely partnership of Sebeck, a
computer-illiterate cop, and Ross, an enigmatic hacker, to realise
the scale of the imminent danger. The Daemon is seemingly
unstoppable, and murder is the least of its capabilities. As it
leaves a trail of death and destruction in its wake, Sebeck and
Ross must face up to a terrifying possibility. Can they convince a
disbelieving world to take drastic action, and shut down the Daemon
before it is too late? Explosive, action-packed, terrifyingly
relevant, Daemon redefines the high-concept thriller for the
information age.
In his phenomenal debut, "Daemon," Suarez introduced a terrifying
vision of an unstoppable computer program unleashed on the world by
a hi-tech wunderkind. But now, our world is Daemon's world--unless
someone stops the program once and for all. Available in a tall
Premium Edition.

Human freedom has one last hope to survive the information
revolution in the epic, apocalyptic sequel to the international
bestseller Daemon. The Daemon is now firmly in control and moving
towards its endgame, using an expanding network of real-world,
dispossessed darknet operatives to tear civilization apart and
build it anew. As the global economy begins to fail, the world's
most powerful organizations - monolithic corporations, complete
with armies of their own - prepare to fight their unseen enemy.
When a brutal civil war breaks out in the United States, former
detective Pete Sebeck, now the Daemon's most powerful though
reluctant operative, must lead a small band of enlightened humans
to protect the new world order. Amid conflicting loyalties, rapidly
diminishing human power and the possibility that anyone can be a
daemon operative or a corporate spy, Sebeck knows that he embodies
the last hope that freedom can survive the information revolution.
From "New York Times" bestselling author Daniel Suarez--a
terrifying, breathtaking, and all-too-plausible vision of the
world's near future...
Linda McKinney studies the social behavior of insects--which
leaves her entirely unprepared for the day her research is
conscripted to help run an unmanned and automated drone army.
Odin is the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight
into a faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland
with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets
without human intervention.
Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for
the world to recognize its destructive power. But as enigmatic
forces press the advantage, and death rains down from above, it may
already be too late to save mankind from destruction.
