Abstract: A shock absorber assembly comprises a piston and cylinder arrangement, a damping-fluid chamber and a damping valve arrangement which is located in the damping fluid chamber and serves to divide the chamber into sub-chambers. The assembly is such that in use the valve arrangement regulates the flow of fluid between the sub-chambers.

Abstract: A dual-mode oven (40) which is capable of being used in a rotisserie mode or in a convection mode, the oven comprising heater means (8) and fan means (7), the heater means and the fan means being located at the top of the oven cavity (43), in use, the fan means forces air across the heater means and into the cooking space through adjustable heated air outlets (46). In a rotisserie mode the heated air outlets are inwardly directed towards food to be cooked, and in a convection mode the heated air outlets are outwardly directed so as to distribute heated air evenly throughout the cooking space.
