A vehicle powertrain variable vibration absorber assembly can be equipped in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The vehicle powertrain variable vibration absorber assembly includes a rotary device, a drive-ratio assembly, and a spring. The rotary device, in an example, is a motor-generator unit (MGU). The drive-ratio assembly, in an example, is a planetary gear assembly. The drive-ratio assembly receives rotational drive input from the rotary device, and transmits rotational drive output to a powertrain component. The spring, in an example, is a variable stiffness spring. The spring is connected to the drive-ratio assembly and is connected to a grounded component. During use, the vehicle powertrain variable vibration absorber assembly absorbs different frequencies of vibration brought about by a vehicle engine amid different operating modes. The operating modes can involve cylinder deactivation technologies.

A beverage holder is configured to receive a liquid container. The beverage holder comprises a gyroscope including a frame member, an outer gimbal and an inner gimbal. A beverage retainer is coupled to the inner gimbal of the gyroscope, the beverage retainer designed and dimensioned to secure the liquid container therein. A vehicle mount is arranged below the gyroscope and configured to move relative to the gyroscope. A suspension couples the gyroscope to the vehicle mount, the suspension including a spring arrangement permitting linear movement between the gyroscope and the vehicle mount. A tuned mass damper couples to the gyroscope to reduce linear movement of the gyroscope.

An electric power tool includes a drive device for providing a driving force, a rotation wheel that has a central axis and is driven by the drive device to rotate around the central axis, a spindle that supports a tool holder configured to hold a tool of the electric power tool, a first intermediate member, a second intermediate member, and a counterweight device. The first intermediate member is offset from the central axis of the rotation wheel, and revolves around the central axis when driven by the rotating rotation wheel, while driving the spindle to reciprocate in a first direction. The second intermediate member is driven by the first intermediate member to rotate around the central axis and is disposed to be offset from the central axis of the rotation wheel on the side opposite the first intermediate member. The counterweight device is driven by the second intermediate member.

A dynamic balance device for a press machine includes a plurality of cam portions which transmit a vertical motion of a slide to a balance weight to move the balance weight in a reverse direction of the vertical motion of the slide. The cam portions are each movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide, and each include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on a member which is provided integrally with the slide and vertically moves with the slide. The second inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on the balance weight.
