FLUID-FILLED TUBULAR VIBRATION-DAMPING DEVICE
A fluid-filled tubular vibration-damping device including: an inner shaft member and an outer tube member connected by a main rubber elastic body defining a non-compressible fluid filling region partitioned into two axially-opposite fluid chambers connected by an orifice passage, by a partition wall rubber fixed to a side of the inner shaft member in an inner periphery thereof and inserted in a side of the outer tube member at an outer periphery thereof so that the partition wall rubber is axially movable relative to the side of the outer tube member; a seal tubular part formed integrally at the outer periphery of the partition wall rubber to axially protrude to opposite sides; and a thicker annular fitting part formed integrally at each protruding tip of the seal tubular part, and fitted in the side of the outer tube member, slidably along it.
DISTRIBUTED ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH AN ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN PUMP AND VALVE CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC PUMP BYPASS FLOW PATH
A regenerative shock absorber that include a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.
