Abstract: A shock absorption device includes an inner cylinder assembly threadably engaged within an outer cylinder assembly. The outer cylinder assembly includes a cap shaped member, at least one protruding member, and at least one first spring member. The inner cylinder assembly includes at least one compressive member, at least one second spring member, and at least one movable piston member. When an external impact force is applied to the cap shaped body member, the first threaded portion of the outer cylinder assembly jumps over the second threaded portion of the inner cylinder assembly as provided by elastic movement of the resilient ring member about the cap shaped body member. The thread jumping results in the first spring member compressing and the protruding member pushing the piston member which pushes and compresses the second spring member and the compressive member providing a reactive force to absorb the external impact force.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for adaptive polling of printers that service SNMP requests. One embodiment comprises a controller that identifies a group of pre-configured SNMP requests utilized for periodically polling a printer. The controller transmits a first SNMP request from the group to the printer in response to a start of the polling of the printer, and caches a SNMP response from the printer for the first SNMP request. The controller determines a response time of the printer for the first SNMP request, and determines if the response time exceeds a threshold. If the response time exceeds the threshold, then the controller halts transmission of remaining SNMP requests from the group to the printer. If the response time does not exceed the threshold, then the controller transmits the remaining SNMP requests to the printer, and caches SNMP responses from the printer for the remaining SNMP requests.
