1. A gas spring, comprising:
- a housing; and
a piston disposed within the housing, the piston configured to be displaced relative to the housing in response to a vibration applied to the housing, the piston having a first concave surface and a second surface opposing the first concave surface, the housing configured to allow a first gaseous medium to apply a first gas pressure to the first concave piston surface, and a second gaseous medium to apply a second gas pressure to the second piston surface, thereby resulting in a net gas pressure force applied to the piston.

Abstract
A gas spring for suppression vibrations in payloads is provided. The gas spring comprises a piston disposed within the housing. The piston is configured to be displaced relative to the housing in response to vibrations applied to the housing. The piston has first concave or convex surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The housing is configured to allow a first gaseous medium to apply a first gas pressure to the first concave piston surface, and a second gaseous medium to apply a second gas pressure to the second piston surface, thereby resulting in a net gas pressure force applied to the piston.
