Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an hydraulic mount for coupling first second components in a vehicle. The mount has a first elastomeric member defining a first portion of a first chamber, and a second elastomeric member defining a second portion of the first chamber and a second chamber. The chambers are each able to retain fluid in a liquid seal manner. An inner tube assembly defines an opening for receiving a bolt. The elastomeric members may be fixedly secured to an outer surface of the inner tube assembly. An inner ring is fixedly coupled to the inner tube assembly at a position between the two chambers. The second elastomeric member is fixedly secured to an outer surface of the inner ring. A decoupler is fixedly disposed within the inner ring and adapted to move between rigid surfaces adjacent the first and second chambers.

Abstract: A mount having a bolt through configuration couples two components of a vehicle. The mount includes a first elastomeric member that defines a first portion of a first chamber and a second elastomeric member that defines a second portion of the first chamber and defines a second chamber. An inner tube assembly defines an opening for receiving the bolt. The first and the second elastomeric members are bonded to the inner tube assembly. An annular member is disposed between the first and the second chambers. The annular member defines a fluid-track which fluidly couples the first and the second chambers. The mount dampens vibrations at varying amplitudes by pushing fluid between the first and the second chambers via the fluid-track. The mount may also include a decoupler by way of a decoupler ring and decoupler cap to isolate the mount at a predetermined amplitude at varying frequencies.

Abstract: A bushing for rotatably supporting a bar-shaped suspension link comprises an elastomeric body having a central axis and including an axial bore adapted to receive the suspension link therethrough. The bore includes a circumferential surface having projected surface portions and recessed surface portions, the projected surface portions projecting radially inwardly to provide radial clearance between the suspension link and the recessed surface portions. Preferably, the projected surface portions include a plurality of first and second ridges projecting radially inwardly. The first ridges are substantially parallel to the central axis of the elastomeric body and intersect the second ridges at substantially right angles to define therebetween the recessed surface portions. The preferred embodiment of the bushing of this invention further comprises a double-knit fabric liner covering the circumferential surface of the bore of the body.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is disclosed for growing a crystal ribbon (42) of a substance of theoretically infinite length from a melt (32) of the substance. A pair of fixedly positioned edge defining members (44) are partially submerged into the melt (32) so as to break the surface (34) of the melt (32) at a predetermined distance from one another. The edge defining members (44) are wettable by the melt and the predetermined distance substantially corresponds to the width of the crystal ribbon (42) to be grown. The crystal ribbon (42) is grown by contacting the surface (34) of the melt (32) with a seed ribbon (38) between the edge defining members (44) whereby a meniscus (48) of the melt (32) is established on the seed ribbon (38). The meniscus (48) is stabilized by the meniscus (50) of the melt (32) on the edge defining members (44). Pulling the seed crystal ribbon (38) away from the melt (32) results in continuous growth of the crystal ribbon (42).
