A stabilizer bushing including: a stabilizer bar; and two semi-tubular elastic half bodies each including an intermediate plate fitting of semicircular arc shape embedded therein. The elastic half bodies are bonded to an outer circumferential surface of the stabilizer bar such that two circumferential end faces thereof are mutually butted. The plate fitting is embedded in an axial direction. A notch-shaped recess is provided in a corner of axial ends of the circumferential end faces of each elastic half body. The recess extends in a radial direction of the elastic half body and opens onto an inner circumferential surface thereof, and a corner of axial ends of circumferential end portions of the plate fitting is exposed at the recess. A bottom corner of the recess extending in the radial direction of the elastic half body has a curved-concave inner surface shape.

A flex cell for absorbing energy from an applied force includes a panel attached to a flex cage. The flex cage is made from a resilient material that allows deformation of the flex cage when a force is applied to the flex cell. The flex cell is attachable to a support surface. In some instances, the flex cell is detached from the support surface when sufficient force is applied to the flex cell.

Multilayer damping material for damping a vibrating surface (10) including: at least one constraining layer (4); at least one dissipating layer (1, 3); at least one kinetic spacer layer (2) including multiple spacer elements (2b), the kinetic spacer layer being arranged between the constraining layer and the vibrating surface, when used for damping the vibrating surface, wherein each spacer element has opposite ends, at least one end of each of the multiple spacer elements is embedded in, bonded to, in contact with or in close proximity to the dissipating layer, such that energy is dissipated within the multilayer damping material, through movement of the at least one end of each of the multiple spacer elements; absorbing material as at least one additional layer (12) or within at least one of the above layers.

Home-automation actuator (11) comprising a motor (16), a housing (17), a mechanical module for filtering vibrations (33; 33a; 33b; 33c), a module for absorbing vibrations (130) and a torque support (21), the mechanical module comprising a first end (35, 135) and a second end (39, 139), —the first end (35, 135) being connected to the housing (17), —the second end (39, 139) being connected to the torque support (21), the mechanical module providing the connection between the housing (17) and the torque support so as to rotate around a first axis (X) of the actuator, the absorption module translationally connecting the housing (17) to the torque support (21) allowing a rotational degree of freedom between the housing (17) and the torque support (21).

A solenoid valve for brake system includes a valve housing installed in a modulator block, and having an oil flow path; a valve seat installed in the inside of the valve housing, and forming an orifice; an armature configured to move up and down by a magnet core in the valve housing, and to open or close the orifice; a sleeve coupled with the valve housing, and accommodating the armature therein; a restoring spring configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the armature to close the orifice normally; and a damper member interposed between the magnet core and the armature.

An energy transmission control mount comprises a carrier having a first major surface, an opposite second major surface and an aperture provided therein. Channels are provided adjacent opposite ends of the first surface. Vibration dampening material is provided on the carrier. The vibration dampening material substantially lines the channels and the aperture and extends over at least a portion of the second surface.

A torsion spring may be configured as a torsion bar or a helical spring made of a spring wire made of fiber-composite material. The torsion spring may have a plurality of layers of fiber reinforcement that have been saturated with a matrix material, wherein the layers may have fibers that are tension-loaded and fibers that are compression-loaded. The at least one compression-loaded group may have a lower group stiffness than the tension-loaded group with the highest group stiffness. Methods for designing or making torsion springs made of fiber-composite material are also disclosed.
