Patent ID: 7118100

Claim:
A magnetorheological-fluid hydraulic mount comprising: a) a hydraulic-mount partition plate assembly having a central longitudinal axis, having a first side including a top surface and a second side including a bottom surface, having a non-magnetorheological-fluid first orifice and a magnetorheological-fluid second orifice, wherein the first orifice has a first terminus directly disposed at the top surface and a second terminus directly disposed at the bottom surface, and wherein the second orifice has a first end directly disposed at the top surface and has a second end directly disposed at the bottom surface; b) a hydraulic-mount decoupler operatively connected to the first orifice, wherein the decoupler is disposed entirely between the top and bottom surfaces and entirely radially outward from the second orifice; c) an electric coil disposed to magnetically influence the second orifice; and d) a flexible membrane assembly having a first membrane portion fluidly-isolating, on the top surface of the partition plate assembly, the first end from the first terminus and having a second membrane portion fluidly-isolating, on the bottom surface of the partition plate assembly, the second end from the second terminus.
