A drive system of a header for an agricultural vehicle. The header includes a plurality of driven devices. The drive system includes a shaft configured for conveying motive power from the agricultural vehicle to the header, a gearbox configured for being located on the header and for transferring motive power to the plurality of driven devices, and a torque damper. The torque damper is operably connected in between the shaft and the gearbox. The torque damper is configured for reducing a magnitude of a torque spike.

A pump system may include a pump, a driveshaft, driving equipment, and a vibration dampening assembly configured to reduce pump-imposed high frequency/low amplitude and low frequency/high amplitude torsional vibrations. The pump may have an input shaft connected to the driveshaft. The driving equipment may include an output shaft having an output flange connected to the driveshaft. The driving equipment may be configured to rotate the driveshaft to rotate the input shaft of the pump therewith. The vibration dampening assembly may include one or more flywheels operably connected to the input shaft and configured to rotate therewith.

A vibration absorber for vehicle wheels is capable of absorbing and attenuating vibration of a vehicle wheel and of increasing a vibration absorption capability of the wheel without changing the external appearance and design of the wheel. The vibration absorber includes a vibration absorption unit mounted on a back surface of a center cap of the vehicle wheel to absorb a first vibration in an axial direction of the wheel transmitted through the center cap

Systems and methods for reducing inertial forces of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine are described. The systems and methods may provide for counterweights in a form of pistons in cylinders that are moved via electromagnets. The counterweights may be moved at a frequency that corresponds to engine speed via an alternating current.

In one embodiment, a gas spring having a travel control includes positive and negative chambers and a valve mechanism that controls the fluid communication between the chambers. The valve mechanism includes a valve bore that while only moving a small amount, allows for large changes in gas spring travel length.

The invention relates to an external chassis for a long firearm, the precision of which is increased owing to: 1. The incorporation of an external chassis, inside which the firearm is installed. 2. The anchoring of the firearm telescopically inside the external chassis using sliding rings with minimum friction. 3. The inclusion of a movement absorbing element. 4. The inclusion of guide bushings that limit the movement of the firearm to a single axis. With the above elements arranged as shown in the drawings, the inherent recoil produced in a firearm at the moment of firing, owing to the action-reaction effect of the stock-projectile assembly or the stock-discharge system, is suppressed and absorbed by the proposed invention, such that the stock remains immobile and no movement is transmitted to the shooter. As a result, precision is considerably increased and the optical sighting elements are not affected by sudden movements, thereby protecting these elements from possible damage and from being moved out of position. The elements described also ensure that the firearm moves only along the axis of the barrel, thereby guaranteeing precision. In addition, owing to the design of the invention, it can be incorporated not only into firearms having a specific new design, but also into existing firearms.
