A vehicle includes a body structure that is suspended from a chassis of the vehicle by a vehicle body suspension system. The vehicle body suspension system is constructed in a manner to allow relative movement to occur between the suspended body structure and the chassis in such a manner to at least partially isolate the suspended body structure from the vibrations and accelerations of the chassis. The vehicle body suspension system includes one or more spring / damper components that comprise an elastomer body that is surrounded and, therefore, reinforced by a reinforcing wall constructed of a relatively rigid material. The vehicle body suspension system may utilize one or more of the reinforced elastomer block spring / damper components as bump stops and / or primary spring / damper components.

A method of managing segments in a distributed-file system implemented by a plurality of file servers includes determining a segment of the distributed-file system controlled by a first file server for which control is to be migrated, selecting a second file server, that is different from the first file server, to take control of the segment, and moving control of the segment from the first file server to the second file server.

This invention provides heat engines based on various structures of internal combustion engines, such as a four-stroke piston-type combustion engine, two-stroke piston-type combustion engine, rotary combustion engine, or a free-piston type combustion engine. Said heat engine is provided with at least a heating chamber per piston or rotor, a heat exchanger unit disposed within said heating chamber through which thermal energy is extracted from a heat source and at least a port leading to a working chamber space from said heating chamber, and has a significantly increased heat transfer duration from the heat source to the working fluid within said heating chamber without increasing the number of strokes per power stroke in a cycle. Additionally, said heat engine is provided with an over expansion mechanism in conjunction with a compression means for intake charge. Thereby many of the operational characteristics of an Otto power cycle may be attained in said heat engine, and a heat source with a relatively low temperature may be accommodated through the combination of a lower compression ratio, the over expansion mechanism, and the boost of the intake charge.Another major objective of this invention is to provide a refrigerator based on the structures of the various heat engines disclosed in this invention and having a reversed operation of the heat engine. The invention combines the compression functionality of a compressor and the expansion functionality of a turbine in an air cycle machine into a single refrigerator unit having a simple mechanical structure, and provides a significantly increased heat removal rate or duration before the expansion stroke to reduce the temperature of the working fluid without increasing the number of strokes per discharge stroke of cooled working fluid in the cycle. Said refrigerator may include the over expansion mechanism or working fluid pressurization to increase the coefficient of performance and cooling load. In particular, said refrigerator uses a gas as the working fluid to avoid the negative impact of a conventional refrigerant on the environment.

Provided are a graphite material suitable as an electrode material for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, a carbonaceous material for battery electrodes, and secondary batteries which exhibit excellent charge-discharge cycle characteristics and excellent severe-current-load characteristics. A graphite material which has specific sizes of optically anisotropic and isotropic structures, a specific content ratio between both structures, and various orientation of crystallization; and a carbonaceous material for battery electrodes which is made using the graphite material and which exhibits a large discharge capacity and a small irreversible capacity with the severe-current-load characteristics and cycle characteristics being kept at high levels.
