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.

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.

Disclosed herein is an over-slam bumper for a vehicle. The over-slam bumper includes: a bumper unit (100) of which an end portion protrudes toward a door to absorb shock generated between a vehicle body and the door; and a mounting unit (200) coupled with the bumper unit (100) to fix the bumper unit to the vehicle body, wherein the bumper unit (100) includes: an elastic part for absorbing shock generated when getting in contact with the door; and a coupling part (116) connected to the elastic part and coupled with the mounting unit (200). The elastic part includes a buckling part (111) for absorbing shock by buckling; a compression part (130) for absorbing shock by compression; and an elastic air compression part for absorbing shock by sealing the inside air to compress inside air.

A damper includes a cylinder, a rod including a first engaging portion at a tip end thereof, and a piston formed of an elastic resin material. The piston includes a convex portion provided so as to protrude at a base end portion located on a rod base end side and always in pressure contact with an inner circumference of the cylinder. During damper braking, the first engaging portion of the rod abuts against the other end portion of the piston, and an axial compression force acts on the piston between the first engaging portion and the convex portion in pressure contact with the inner circumference of the cylinder.

The invention relates to a furniture hinge for the articulated fastening of a furniture door, flap or the like to a furniture carcass, with a hinge body with a hinge cup and a hinge arm which is pivotably connected to the hinge cup and which can be fastened to one of the furniture parts, and with a mounting body which can be fastened to the other furniture part, with a linear damper for damping at least the closing movement of the furniture hinge, and with a blocking element which can be set in at least two switching positions and by means of which the linear damper is blocked in a blocking switching position in its inserted position and is released in a damping switching position, wherein, in the blocking switching position, a blocking bolt which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation of the blocking element is pivoted into the actuating region of the linear damper or of a component connected to the linear damper and is pivoted out of the actuating region in the damping switching position. Here, there is provision that the axis of rotation of the blocking element is oriented in the direction of movement of the linear damper. The furniture hinge allows a secure setting of the damping action of the linear damper of the furniture hinge.

A hinge device 1 comprises a dumper hinge 2 and a gravity hinge 3. The gravity hinge 3 comprises a rotational force imparting mechanism 70 for converting gravity of the door 6 to rotational force to a closing direction when the door 6 rotates to the closing direction. The dumper hinge 2 comprises a dumper mechanism 30 for reducing the rotational force to the closing direction of the door 6. The dumper mechanism 30 includes a linear dumper 31 disposed to the first hinge member 10 and a first cam member 32 and includes a second cam member 35 disposed to the second hinge member 20. The linear dumper 31 is positioned far from the shaft member 40 in an orthogonal direction to a shaft line of the shaft member 40 and is positioned along the shaft member 40. When the door 6 rotates, the linear dumper 31 is shortened.

A liquid sealed damper includes: an attachment portion attached to a peripheral portion of an opening of a vehicle or an opening and closing member for covering the opening; a contact portion to which an external force is input; an insulator configured to isolate vibration and connect the attachment portion and the contact portion; a main liquid chamber in which working liquid is sealed; an auxiliary liquid chamber having a wall portion formed of a diaphragm; and an orifice passage formed in the partition member and communicating with the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber. The partition member has a substantially circular surface forming a wall portion of the main liquid chamber. An opening portion at one end of the orifice passage is formed in the circular surface. The opening portion is formed to extend from an outer edge portion to a central portion of the circular surface.

An exemplary armature assembly is configured for use with a door control mounted to one of a door or a doorframe.
