  • Patent number: 9732819
    Abstract: An electronically controlled internal damper includes: a main passage formed by a working fluid flowing through a main piston; a pilot passage formed by a working fluid as much as a predetermined amount discharged from a first pilot chamber and a second pilot chamber so as to maintain internal pressures of the first pilot chamber and the second pilot chamber to a predetermined level when pressures of the first pilot chamber and the second pilot chamber are increased beyond the predetermined level; and a bypass passage formed by a working fluid passing through the compression retainer and the rebound retainer symmetrically disposed above and under the main piston and a plurality of holes formed transversely to a vertical length direction of a spool rod. Accordingly, the electronically controlled internal damper is capable of implementing damping performance in both a soft mode and a hard mode with a relatively simple structure and increasing sealing performance while reducing rigidity.

  • Patent number: 9506520
    Abstract: A damping force variable valve assembly includes a spool (144) which is moved by a magnetic force, a spool guide (145) which surrounds the spool (144), valve bodies (151, 152), a main valve (150), a back pressure chamber (160) which is formed at the back of the main valve (150), and an elastic opening/closing portion which is installed in the valve body to open and close a pressure adjustment passage (180) communicating the inside of the back pressure chamber (160) with the outside of the back pressure chamber (160). Due to the interaction between the spool (144) and the spool guide (145), the damping force of the shock absorber is variable between a hard mode in which the back pressure of the back pressure chamber (160) is increased and a soft mode in which the back pressure of the back pressure chamber (160) is decreased.

  • Publication number: 20160137707
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polypeptide containing an extracellular domain of a synaptogenic protein, and a method for manufacturing a nerve cell, a complex containing a biotin tagged at the C-terminus of the polypeptide, an artificial synapse inducer for coupling the composite to a streptavidin (SAV)-coated substrate and a nerve cell. The complex tagged with a biotin at the C-terminus of the polypeptide containing the extracellular domain of the synaptogenic protein, such as neuroligin-1, can display activity by being attached to the SAV-coated substrate to adjust the orientation thereof without help of a supported lipid bilayer. The complex containing an additional RFP between the extracellular domain and the biotin of the synaptogenic protein not only facilitates easier mass-production, quantification, and tracking, but also displays activity of a normal synaptogenic protein, thereby inducing excitatory or inhibitory synaptic differentiation by being fixed to the substrate and added to the nerve cell culture.

  • Publication number: 20150362038
    Abstract: A damping force controlling shock absorber can generate a hard damping force through disk slits during a low speed operation by adding a disk valve to a chamber, can constantly maintain a pressure of a back pressure compartment by opening a disk valve and discharge the pressure of the back pressure compartment to the outside when the pressure of the back pressure compartment is at a predetermined level or more, thereby generating a harder damping force during a low speed operation, and can adjust a disk valve open pressure during a medium/high speed operation so as to prevent the durability of the equipment from being lowered by an excessive increase of a pressure and prevent an abnormal operation from occurring.
