A method is provided for actively compensating for pressure changes of a working fluid within a conduit. A first cavity is provided in fluid communication with the conduit. A second cavity is in fluid communication with a control fluid. A plunger is in communication with both the first cavity and the second cavity and is movable in response to pressure changes of the working fluid in the conduit. The plunger is re-centered. Re-centering the plunger includes the following steps. Position data representative of movement of the plunger is collected. The position data is analyzed with a control unit to determine an average position of the plunger which is offset relative to a center position. The average position of the plunger is compared, with a control unit, to the center position. A signal is relayed from the control unit to a control valve to urge the plunger toward the center position.

A damper assembly of a high-pressure fuel pump for reducing fuel pulsation, which is capable of reducing the pulsation of a fuel transferred to the high-pressure fuel pump to stabilize the supply of the fuel, having a simplified structure to minimize an installation space and curtailing manufacturing costs, is provided. The damper assembly of the high-pressure fuel pump includes a damper including upper and lower bodies having flange portions formed along a circumference thereof to face each other in a vertical direction, a retainer ring including a curved portion configured to support the damper and a support portion extending from the curved portion in a longitudinal direction, and a cover member configured to surround the damper and the retainer ring. Here, the damper is fixed in a housing as the flange portion of the upper body, the flange portion of the lower body and the curved portion of the retainer ring are welded at welding portions at the same time.

A valve assembly for a pressure change damper for a braking-force-regulated hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a valve housing, two valves, and a valve seat body. The valve housing includes an open side. The two valves are arranged in the valve housing. The valve seat body includes two valve seats for the two valves and is configured to close the open side of the valve housing.

A telescopic bladder with a noise reduction structure is provided. The telescopic bladder has an opening. The telescopic bladder includes a top plate and a plurality of connected annular bodies extending from a periphery of the top plate toward the opening. The annular bodies have a continuous wavy cross-section. An inner surface of at least some of the annular bodies is formed with at least one protrusion. When the telescopic bladder is applied to a pillow, even if the telescopic bladder is inflated or deflated in the middle of the night, there will be no annoying noise, thereby improving the sleep quality effectively.

A fluid system can have a water hammer arrestor including a resilient insert having an outer surface. The resilient insert can be operable to dampen a pressure spike in the fluid that exceeds a static pressure range, providing effective water hammer arrestment that without the resilient insert, would have occurred in a flowing fluid with the pressure spike. The static pressure range can be up to about 100 psig.
