The damper is a moveable blade that prevents air from escaping through the fireplace and chimney.
The damper must be opened before starting a fire, to provide required oxygen and enable smoke to move up the chimney.
The damper should be closed anytime the fireplace is not in use, to ensure warm air stays in the house.

 Damper
Deep at the centre of Australian folk tradition is the memory of a simple, hand made bread prepared by several generations of pioneers and travelling bush people.
The bread made in this way became known as "damper" (perhaps because the fire was "damped" down to a moderate heat for this particular purpose).

 String Studio Masterclass: The Damper - Applied Acoustics Systems
The damper is modeled with a mass, a dashpot and an elastic shell represented by a spring.
The velocity of the mass of the damper when the damper falls on the string (key released) and when it leaves the string (key depressed) is controlled through the Velocity knob.
This implies that the damper is not in contact with the string during a large portion of its motion and therefore can not absorb energy from the string anymore.

 Damper Oil Tech Information
The main symptom of improper damper oil level is an off-idle/low-speed stumble in acceleration.
Damper oil can be used to adjust or tune the lifting of the pistons to suit a modified engine.
This was because the oil in the dampers was not heavy enough to keep the piston from opening rapidly.

 Characterization, Modeling and Simulation of Magnetorheological Damper Behavior under Triangular Exc
The MR fluid used for this analysis, shown in Figure 1, it is mainly a dispersion of iron powder of 99.9% purity, as the soft magnetic material, in a carrier oil, and it was developed at ITESM, Campus Monterrey.
Once the design is completed, the damper coefficient value was modified by introducing a set of data points, which permits the software, based on an internal function, interpolate the discrete data.
When the MR damper is under a low magnetic field the suspension system presents a smoother reaction compared with that of the passive suspension and a higher magnetic field.

 Epinions.com - Damper Of Damnation
The damper was handy to play a role in the fantasy I was having, so I shoved the paper onto it and then stood back and looked at what it looked like covered with paper.
From the point that I first decorated the damper on, it had to be covered--generally, by some sort of paper that I had drawn on and stuck over it.

 Torsional Dampers Info - Tech Article - Chevy High Performance Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Externally balanced dampers are used on small-blocks using a 400-style factory crankshaft where the factory decided to add additional counterweight to the damper instead of the crankshaft throws.
All production and OEM replacement dampers are designed as elastomeric dampers, where a thin line of synthetic rubber is used to bond the outer damper ring to the hub that is pressed onto the crankshaft snout.
Another idea is the TCI Rattler 2000 damper that employs a series of steel balls that use a centrifugal pendulum theory to offset the torsional inputs of the crankshaft.

 Australian Damper Bread Recipe!
Damper is very similar to Irish Soda Bread, and probably developed from recipes brought over by Irish immigrants/convicts.
Variations of the basic recipe are seemingly endless, but you could try substituting other liquids, such as beer for a darker colour/flavour, or varying the ratio of milk to water, and so on.
If you are cooking on an open fire you could try wrapping the dough in aluminium foil before you place it in the coals, or even try wrapping the dough around a stick and cooking suspended over the flames.

 Structural Control System
The passive control systems, such us a TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) using a weight which oscillates at the same period as the building does and an additional damper that connects two relatively moving points when the building oscillates, absorbs the vibrations automatically without the need of an electrical control system.
They are AMD (Active Mass Damper) which suppresses the oscillation of a building by actuating a weight and an ABS(Active Brace System) which controls axial forces of braces and others.
The friction damper consists of a steel plate (fl area in illustration) and two plates holding the steel plate from both sides (yellow area).
