Abstract: A device, system, or method for changing the center of gravity of a bicycle, in particular an electric bicycle, to suit the situation, with: an actuator for changing the center of gravity of the bicycle, at least one sensor that monitors the riding status of the bicycle, a control unit which receives and processes data from the sensor, determines a center of gravity of the bicycle adapted to the situation and outputs corresponding control signals to the actuator in order to carry out the change in center of gravity. According to the invention, an adjustment speed of the change in the center of gravity can be adapted to a riding state of the bicycle.

Abstract: A damping system is provided including at least one fluid damper including a damping volume containing a damping fluid, and a fluid reservoir including a reservoir piston partitioning an inner volume of the fluid reservoir into a damping chamber containing the damping fluid and a recoil chamber containing a recoil fluid. The damping volume of the at least one fluid damper is connected to the damping chamber of the fluid reservoir in a fluid-conducting manner. The reservoir piston is movable in a compression direction increasing a volume of the damping chamber and decreasing a volume of the recoil chamber. The reservoir piston is movable in a dilatation direction decreasing the volume of the damping chamber and increasing the volume of the recoil chamber. The reservoir piston includes a damping chamber surface facing the damping chamber and a recoil chamber surface facing the recoil chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a damping apparatus (10) comprising a hollow housing (19) containing a damping fluid, wherein the housing (19) comprises an opening (21), a rod (13) partially inserted through the opening (21) into the hollow housing (19), wherein the rod (13) is guided slidably along a stroke axis (A) relative to the hollow housing (19), and a piston package (16) fixed to an end of the rod (13) residing within the hollow housing (19), wherein the piston package (16) separates an upper chamber (191) of the hollow housing (19) adjacent to the opening (21) from a lower chamber (192) of the hollow housing (19). The rod (13) comprises an inner volume (131) containing a compensation fluid, wherein the inner volume (131) is connected to the lower chamber (192) in a manner conducting the damping fluid. The invention further relates to a solar panel array comprising multiple solar panels and a damping apparatus (10) according to the invention.
