Abstract: A hydraulic shock absorbing device fastened inside either blade of a bicycle front fork to absorb shocks, the device including a damping liquid chamber and a damping liquid cell respectively molded from rubber or elastic material and connected together through a partition plate having liquid passages for the passing of a damping liquid between the damping liquid chamber and the damping liquid cell to let shocks transmitted from the bicycle front fork be absorbed. Shock absorbing rubber blocks or springs may be mounted on two opposite ends of the hydraulic shock absorbing device when it is installed in the bicycle front fork.

Abstract: Interpenetrating polymer network composition, of shaped solid polyester material, e.g. new or reused polyester containing particles, sheeting, fiber or fiber fabric, in a matrix of curable prepolymer resin, e.g. a thermosetting phenol-aldehyde resin of basic pH for providing a flame retardant composition, an interfacial dissolving agent for the polyester material, e.g. an aromatic alcohol and/or a halohydrocarbon, optionally an accelerator for the resin, e.g. a weak acid, and optionally a filler, e.g. in a weight ratio of matrix to polyester material of about 0.25-15:1, wherein the polyester material is distributed, e.g.
