suspension from a hook

Fear of dioxin emissions led to suspension of efforts to establish a waste-to-energy plant at the Brooklyn Navy yard.

As the solids clump together, they get heavier causing them to fall out of suspension in the water.

suspension from school as a disciplinary measure

As in Sequenza IV, the suspension of the chord creates several different layers of activity, which can be understood by looking at the right hand’s chord in bar two.

To get an intuitive feeling for the characteristics of H'-spaces, it is instructive to consider an important class of such spaces, the suspensions. The suspension of an arbitrary topological space Y is defined to be the quotient space of Y⨯I where Y⨯0 is identified to one point and Y⨯1 is identified to another point. For example, the suspension of a circle is a cylinder with the two ends collapsed into one point each; in other words, a space homeomorphic to a sphere.

A model category is called pointed if the initial object and terminal object are the same. The homotopy category of any pointed model category acquires a suspension functor denoted by 𝛴. It turns out that Ho(M) is a pre-triangulated category in a natural way[…]. When the suspension is an equivalence, M is called a stable model category, and in this case Ho(M) becomes a triangulated category[…].

If you drive over a speed bump, the left and right tires push the suspension upward at the same time.
