Landing gear arrangement with passive shock strut shrink actuator
A landing gear arrangement may comprise a shock strut, a retraction actuator, and a shrink actuator. The retraction actuator may move the shock strut between a stowed position and a deployed position. The shrink actuator may move between a shrink position and an unshrink position in response to the shock strut moving between the stowed position and the deployed position.
DAMPER DEVICE FOR BICYCLES
A damper device for a bicycle having a housing extending in the axial direction and disposed therein, a chamber which forms a chamber volume that is sealed outwardly. The chamber volume extends in the axial direction from a first end to a second end. In the axial direction, at least one adjustment member is rotatably disposed between the ends of the chamber volume. The adjustment member is configured as an annular member and is rotatably received at the housing and surrounds at least part of the housing. By way of movement of the adjustment member, at least one operational setting of the damper device is changeable by means of a mechanical transmitting device.

Door component comprising a controllable damper device
A door component has a controllable damper device that contains a magnetorheological fluid as a working fluid. Two connection units of the damper device can be moved relative to each other. One of the two connection units can be connected to a support structure, and the other connection unit can be connected to a pivotal door device in order to damp a movement of the door device between a closed position and an open position in a controlled manner. The magnetorheological damper device has a piston unit and a cylinder unit which surrounds the piston unit. The piston unit divides a cylinder volume into two chambers. The piston unit has a first piston rod, which extends through the first chamber, and a second piston rod, which extends through the second chamber.
