A front fork leg includes an inner chamber that absorbs by a gas spring a shock caused on a vehicle; an auxiliary gas spring chamber communicating with the inner chamber; an auxiliary piston provided in the auxiliary gas spring chamber; and a gas spring chamber side gas chamber sectioned by the auxiliary piston and communicating with the inner chamber, and the auxiliary piston moves to increase a volume of the gas spring chamber side gas chamber, as pressure inside the inner chamber increases.

A hand-held cutting tool includes a handle, an operating unit, and a dampening arrangement. The handle includes a stationary part and a flexible part pivotally attached to the stationary part. At least a portion of the operating unit is fitted to the flexible part and at least one part of the dampening arrangement is located in stationary part. The dampening arrangement includes a rod that connects the flexible part to the stationary part of the handle. The rod is connected to the stationary part by a flexible element configured to dampen vibrations of the operating unit relative to the handle. The rod is connected to the flexible part by a pivot pin configured to dampen the vibrations of the operating unit relative to the handle.

An electronic device comprises a housing, a motion sensor configured to sense motion of the housing, and a processor configured to determine an impact geometry based on the motion. A countermeasure system comprises an actuator coupled to an actuated member. The actuated member is operable by the actuator to modify the impact geometry, so that impact energy is redirected away from an impact sensitive component of the electronic device to an energy absorbing component of the electronic device.

A method and apparatus are provided. A load relief tie rod comprises a body, a rod, and at least one pin extending from and perpendicular to the rod. The body has a cavity extending longitudinally through a cylindrical section of the body and two obround slots in the cylindrical section. The rod is configured to extend longitudinally within the cavity. The at least one pin extends through the two obround slots.

A suspension system including a set of optics which adjust the size and focus of the projection image originating at a Digital Micro-Mirror Device mirror set. The suspension and adjustment system for these optics may be mounted between the Digital Micro-Mirror Device housing and the optics carrier. This system has the capability to both adjust the resulting size and focus of the image at the same distance to a wall, as well as adjust for out-of-plane issues which often result in skewed images. This results in an adjustable focal and image size differing from the manufacturer's intended throw pattern and allowing broader use of the projector to make smaller images at the same throw distance.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would provide an exemplary vibration isolation and seismic restraint apparatus that would comprise: an exemplary structural member comprising: counterposed threaded holes; counterposed layered threaded force-transfer bosses, wherein each of the counterposed layered threaded force-transfer bosses would comprise a threaded hole aligned with a corresponding counterposed threaded hole in said underlying (bottom) member. The exemplary structural member would further comprise: counterposed threaded studs, wherein each of the counterposed threaded studs would be threaded through corresponding threaded holes in the corresponding layered threaded force-transfer boss and corresponding threaded holes in the underlying (bottom) member. The exemplary structural member would further comprise a spring resting on, or attached to, a position on the structural member between the counterposed threaded studs. The exemplary vibration isolation and seismic restraint apparatus would further comprise a housing for the spring.

A telescopable spring support which comprises a housing, a pressure plate, a load pipe, and a pressure spring and which is designed to elastically support components in a load direction. The housing has a stand side and an upper side, and the pressure plate is arranged in the housing and can be moved within the housing in the load direction. The pressure spring is arranged between the pressure plate and the stand side and applies a spring force to the pressure plate, said spring force being directed towards the upper side in the load direction. The load pipe is connected to the pressure plate and, in each position of the pressure plate, extends outwards from the interior of the housing through an opening arranged on the upper side of the housing. The housing comprises a stand housing and a movable housing. The movable housing can be moved towards the stand housing in the load direction, wherein the stand housing has a stand side, and the movable housing has the opening.

Disclosed is a catenary equipment including a pillar unit which comprises a first pillar member and a second pillar member to be arranged at regular intervals; a horizontal wire which is horizontally arranged in between the first pillar member and the second pillar member; a horizontal-wire holder unit which comprises a first horizontal wire holder installed on the first pillar member, and a second horizontal wire holder installed on the second pillar member; a horizontal-vibration absorbing member which is arranged in between the horizontal wire and the first horizontal wire holder; a holding wire which holds the horizontal wire; a ceiling holder which is installed at a ceiling of the building; a connection bracket which connects a second end of the holding wire and the horizontal wire; and an earthquake-proof lighting equipment assembly which is installed on the horizontal wire.
