A shock or vibration absorption device, comprising: (1) a housing comprising a spring-guiding surface; (2) a piston positioned within the housing and comprising a spring-engagement surface, wherein the piston is configured to move relative to the housing in response to an applied force; and (3) a closed-loop resilient element positioned between the spring-engagement surface of the piston and the spring-guiding surface of the housing such that a ring axis of the resilient element is substantially parallel to a direction of the applied force; wherein the resilient element is configured to absorb kinetic energy as the piston moves relative to the housing in response to the applied force.

A support structure is provided that can comprise a central support member and leveling devices arranged in a deployed configuration where the leveling devices are radially offset from the central support member. In one embodiment of the support structure, each of the leveling devices can comprise an actuator assembly for fine positioning of a support plane of the support structure. The actuator assembly can communicate with a control system, and in one example the control system is operatively configured to monitor the position of the support plane, providing feedback in the form of a control that operates the actuator to adjust the orientation of the support plane.

A cable gland assembly for terminating cable is described herein. The cable gland assembly can include a gland configured to receive a cable, and a gland nut disposed around the gland. A skid washer may be disposed within the gland nut above or below the gland. The cable gland assembly can also include an intermediate body having a first end and a second end, in which the first end may be coupled to the gland nut. The cable gland assembly can further include a body coupled to the second end of the intermediate body, and an intermediate nut disposed around a portion of the body and the second end of the intermediate body.
