FURNITURE HINGE FOR UPWARD-OPENING CABINET DOORS
The present invention determines the final opening position of the furniture door in the upward direction by means of the furniture hinge comprising an opening angle adjustment thereon. Said furniture hinge comprises a housing; a hinge arm connected axially to the furniture door from its one end and to said housing from the other end by means of a first rotating pin; a power unit that is connected axially between a lever arm and a third rotating pin and that comprises at least one spring forming a force on the hinge arm; a movement arm that is connected axially to said hinge arm from its one end and connected axially to said lever arm from the other end and that ensures the force transmission between said force unit and hinge arm; and an opening angle adjustment that allows for determining the final opening position of the furniture door in the upward direction, has an adjustment element in an axially rotatable and a damper thereon and comprises a body that may move linearly by means of the axial rotation of said adjustment element.
Bidirectional damper and shower door assembly
A bidirectional damper comprises a mounting bracket, a tension spring, two damping cylinders and two engaging members; the mounting bracket comprises a first bracket plate, a second bracket plate and a connecting plate connected between the first bracket plate and the second bracket plate, the connecting plate comprises a main body section and extension sections at two ends of the main body section; the damping cylinder, the tension spring and the two engaging members are located between the first bracket plate and the second bracket plate, the damping cylinder and the tension spring are respectively arranged at two sides of the connecting plate, and the two extension sections are bent from the main body section towards the tension spring.

GLOVE BOX WITH DAMPER
A damper for a glove box includes a cylinder, a piston movably disposed in the cylinder, and a valve movably disposed in an accommodation portion of the piston. The piston includes a piston body in which an orifice is formed and a rod formed to protrude from the piston body and in which the accommodation portion is disposed. The valve includes a valve body, a pin formed to protrude from the valve body to have an end portion thereof disposed in the orifice, and a leg formed to protrude from the valve body. The valve is configured to move due to movement of the piston in a direction opposite to a movement direction of the piston to have the leg come into contact with the piston body.

A method for execution by a computing entity includes interpreting a fluid flow response from fluid flow sensors to produce a piston position of a piston associated with a head unit device. The head unit device includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF). The method further includes determining a door position based on the piston position. The method further includes determining parameters for wireless signals based on the door position. The method further includes facilitating utilization of the parameters for the wireless signals to promote successful communication of status and/or control of the door via the wireless signals.

SHOCK ABSORBER CONFIGURED WITH A DEFORMABLE ENERGY ABSORBING MEMBER
A shock absorber includes a first end configured to be mechanically fastened to a first component, a second end configured to be mechanically fastened to a second component, a main body, a main shaft, and a primary piston. The primary piston configured to move within the main body and further configured to provide a first damping force by movement of a fluid through the primary piston while the main shaft moves a first distance. The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.

HINGE FOR CONTROLLED DOOR CLOSING AND OPENING WITH DAMPER
The object of the invention is the hinge for controlled door closing and opening with damper which solves the technical problem of smooth and controlled closing and opening of the door before the end positions of the hinge, i.e. the open or closed position of the door. The damper fit surface (25) and the damper head fit surface (26) are always in contact with two of the limiting surfaces, i.e. two of the following: the damper stop on the housing for closing (21), the damper stop on the housing for opening (22), the damper stop on the guide for opening (23) and the damper stop on the guide for closing (24), whereby the damper (5) in the initial position constantly applies force in the direction of extension, meaning that the damper (5) constantly applies force to increase the distance between the damper fit surface (25) and the damper head fit surface (26), whereas the hinge guide (3) is dimensioned in such a way that the distance between the damper stop on the guide for opening (23) and the damper stop on the guide for closing (24) is smaller than the maximum distance between the damper fit surface (25) and the damper head fit surface (26).
