  2. Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Electronic...

    TEMS (Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension) is a shock absorber that is electronically controlled (Continuous Damping Control) based on multiple factors, and was built and exclusively used by Toyota for selected products during the 1980s and 1990s (first introduced on the Toyota Soarer in 1983 [1]).

  3. Regenerative shock absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_shock_absorber

    A system developed at MIT uses hydraulic pistons to force fluid through a turbine coupled to a generator.The system is controlled by active electronics which optimize damping, which the inventors claim also results in a smoother ride compared to a conventional suspension.

  4. MagneRide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide

    MagneRide is an automotive adaptive suspension with magnetorheological damper system developed by the Delphi Automotive corporation, [1] [2] that uses magnetically controlled dampers, or shock absorbers, for a highly adaptive ride.

  5. Magnetorheological damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_damper

    A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet.

  6. Damper winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_winding

    Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage-like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine. It is used to dampen the transient ...

  7. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

    A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).

  8. Remote manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_manipulator

    Manipulator arms inside the Hot Bay of the Engine Maintenance Assembly & Disassembly Facility, in Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site.. A remote manipulator, also known as a telefactor, telemanipulator, or waldo (after the 1942 short story "Waldo" by Robert A. Heinlein which features a man who invents and uses such devices), [1] is a device which, through electronic, hydraulic, or mechanical ...

  9. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    A less common type of dashpot is an eddy current damper, which uses a large magnet inside a tube constructed of a non-magnetic but conducting material (such as aluminium or copper). Like a common viscous damper, the eddy current damper produces a resistive force proportional to velocity. A common use of the eddy current damper is in balance scales.
