The present invention relates to a door for an appliance. The door has a front panel and a rear panel and edges extending between the front panel and rear panel to create an internal cavity between the front panel and the rear panel. A filler material is contained in the internal cavity, and an intermediate material is interposed between a rear surface of the front panel and the filler material. The intermediate material or front panel is adapted to retain the front panel relative to the filler material by a magnetic field and release a portion of the front panel relative to the filler material upon excessive localized deformation of the filler material.

An apparatus that provides shock absorption and ejection for a payload that is to be deployed from a launch capsule is disclosed. The payload ejection mechanism comprises a movable housing that houses a resilient member and a shock-damping system. The rapid acceleration of the capsule upon launch causes the movable housing to move, which compresses the resilient member, thereby storing energy. Movement of the housing also provides shock damping behavior. A locking mechanism maintains the compression of the resilient member until the capsule opens to deploy the payload. As the capsule opens, a restraint decouples from the locking mechanism and permits the resilient member to expand. Expansion of the resilient member causes the movable housing to move, thereby propelling the payload away from the capsule.

The ultra-short-focus projection system comprises the ultra-short-focus projection device and the projection screen. Laser generated by the ultra-short-focus projection device is projected onto the projection screen to form an image on the projection screen.
