Abstract: A vibration damper for a motor vehicle with a support spring, includes a damper tube with a longitudinal extension axis A, a spring disk, a protective insert, and a protective accordion boot which has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the protective accordion boot is secured at least indirectly to a piston rod by its first end portion, and wherein the protective accordion boot encloses damper tube in circumferential direction by its second end portion. The protective insert has at least one radially outwardly extending supporting portion, wherein the protective accordion boot is axially supported by the second end portion thereof at the supporting portion of the protective insert accompanied by a defined axial pre-loading, and wherein, with respect to the longitudinal extension axis A of the damper tube, the supporting portion extends radially beyond the inner diameter d of an end coil of support spring supported at the spring disk.

Abstract: Mounting assembly for a vibration damper, comprising at least one aligning surface on the vibration damper side, which is in working connection with an opposing surface on the vehicle side at least during the installation of the vibration damper in a receiving opening in the vehicle. The at least one aligning surface and the opposing surface rotationally align the mounting side with the vehicle side. The aligning surface is arranged on a mounting cap with torque-transmitting element, and with at least one axial support surface for cooperation with the opposing surface on the vehicle side. The mounting cap prevents the vibration damper from falling out of the mounting assembly through the use of a carrier on the mounting side, to which the vibration damper is attached, this carrier having a retaining element in the form of a tongue which engages an opening in the mounting cap.

Abstract: A system for transmitting a trigger signal for a video capture system over a network, such as a TCP/IP network, which eliminates the need for special connections to be available in order to send triggers from an external device to start and stop the acquisition of video. Traditional video start/stop triggers are routed through a Trigger Converter which converts the trigger signal to a signal formatted for transmission over an existing network. A Trigger Receiver receives the formatted signal from the network and converts it to a trigger signal formatted for the trigger input of the video capture device. The video capture system responds to the trigger signal from the Trigger Receiver in the same way as it would have to the traditional trigger. Because the video capture device is already connected to the network, additional cables are not necessary.
