Abstract: In view of the above, there has been described a load compensator including one or more tension spring assemblies that are contained within a tubular housing when tension from a load is applied to the tension spring assemblies. When the load compensator includes more than one tension spring assembly, the tension spring assemblies are mechanically connected to each other in series and stacked in-line with each other in the housing. In a preferred construction, each of the tension spring assemblies includes elastomeric tension elements mounted between two disks, and the tubular housing includes a tube having threaded ends and caps that screw onto the tube.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an energy absorbing apparatus. Specifically, the apparatus comprises a first disk and a second disk atop the first disk, and a plurality of collapsible arms around the perimeter of the disks connecting the first disk and the second disk, and an elastic material disposed between at least two of the collapsible arms, wherein collapsing of the arms causes the elastic material to stretch, storing kinetic energy from the vertical direction as potential energy in the horizontal direction, wherein release of the potential energy from the elastic material causes the arms to return to an uncollapsed state. Systems utilizing the energy absorbing apparatus, methods of making and methods of using the same are further provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of isolators including magnetically-assisted thermal compensation devices are provided, as are embodiments of magnetically-assisted thermal compensation devices. In one embodiment, the isolator includes a damper assembly and a magnetically-assisted thermal compensator (“TC”). The magnetically-assisted TC includes, in turn, a TC chamber fluidly coupled to the damper assembly and configured to exchange damping fluid therewith. A TC piston is slidably disposed within the TC chamber and exposed to damping fluid when the TC chamber is filled therewith. A TC bellows is sealingly coupled to the TC piston and exerts a resilient bias force thereon. A magnetic preload system is further coupled to the TC piston and exerts a magnetic bias force thereon, which combines with the resilient bias force provided by the TC bellows to impart the magnetically-assisted TC with a predetermined pressure profile over the operative temperature range of the isolator.

Abstract: A spring-damper system for use in bearings or as a damper, in particular as a spring-damper system in active engine bearings includes a coupling device which can be coupled to a load and to a supporting device at a bearing or damping point, in order to mount the load in such a way that it can vibrate on the supporting device. The coupling device is designed to transmit a load input generated by the load substantially without loss to a spring-damper device and to absorb a reaction thereto by the spring-damper device and to feed said reaction back to the load, in order to counteract the load input in a vibration-damping fashion. In this context, the spring-damper device can be arranged and/or is arranged spatially separate from the bearing or damping point.

Abstract: An object arresting device prevents rebounding effects when an object is decelerated from a high velocity by causing an impact-induced flow of fluid such as ambient air through a lattice membrane to develop vacuum effects and vortex activity while absorbing and dissipating energy to prevent damage to the object and preventing collisions between objects in a high-speed, high-capacity sorting/transport system. The lattice membrane is preferably formed as a woven fabric of a smooth polymer or synthetic fiber of preferably circular cross-section which causes laminar flow over the fibers and rotational vortex effects in the corners of each aperture which produce a combination of vacuum effects in a direction to oppose rebound motion and energy dissipation effects. The effects produced are proportional to the impact energy and the device is thus adaptive to a wide range of mass and energy limited only by the forces the device can mechanically withstand.

Abstract: A spacecraft payload, suspended by an isolator, is locked down during launch by using a compliant member to pull on a pin, clamping the payload against the launch lock. The payload is unlocked, after launch, by heating a shape memory alloy to move the pin to overcome the compliant member, releasing the payload from launch lock. The payload may be re-locked for reentry by heating another shape memory alloy to push the pin against the other shaped memory alloy.

Abstract: A vibration damper module is described with a first member adapted for coupling to one of the vehicle and seat, and a shock absorber adapted to be coupled to the other of the vehicle and seat. The first member may take the form of a housing within which the shock absorber is substantially disposed. A latch selectively couples and decouples the housing to the shock absorber to respectively apply and relieve the application of the dampening force from the shock absorber to the seat which dampens vibrations in the seat. The shock absorber may include an external housing carrying a latch gripping surface, such as a plurality of teeth. The latch may comprise at least one latch arm having a latch surface. The latch arm may be shifted to a first position in which the latch surface and latch gripping surface are engaged to couple the first member to the shock absorber and to a second position wherein these components are disengaged. The latch arm may be pivoted to the housing with the housing also pivoted to one of the vehicle and seat. The shock absorber may also be slidably coupled to the housing. In addition, the shock absorber may apply a non-linear dampening force to the seat when the latch arm is in the first position.
