Abstract: A valve actuation system comprises a first arm having a first arm contact surface and operatively connected to a valve actuation motion. A second arm having a second arm contact surface is operatively connected to the at least one engine valve. A discrete lost motion device is provided that is controllable between a first, motion conveying state and a second, motion absorbing state. The discrete lost motion devices comprises a plunger contact surface and a housing contact surface. The housing contact surface is configured to engage one of the first or second arm contact surfaces, and the plunger contact surface is configured to engage another of the first and the second arm contact surfaces. The first and second arm contact surfaces, the housing contact surface and the first plunger contact surface are configured to support the discrete lost motion device between the first arm and the second arm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to humanized immunoglobulins, mouse monoclonal antibodies and chimeric antibodies that have binding specificity for human CD52. The present invention further relates to a humanized immunoglobulin light chain and a humanized immunoglobulin heavy chain. The invention also relates to isolated nucleic acids, recombinant vectors and host cells that comprise a sequence which encodes a humanized immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin light chain or heavy chain, and to a method of preparing a humanized immunoglobulin. The humanized immunoglobulins can be used in therapeutic applications to treat, for example, autoimmune disease, cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple sclerosis and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Abstract: A dry sump oil cooling system for an internal combustion engine includes an oil pan reservoir, an oil return port, an oil pickup port, and a baffle. The oil pan reservoir has a first end, a second end, a length therebetween, a top and a bottom. Both the oil return port and the oil pickup port are defined at the first end of the reservoir. The oil return port is located adjacent the top of the reservoir while the oil pickup port is located adjacent the bottom of the reservoir. The baffle is coupled to the reservoir between the top and the bottom or free-standing within the reservoir to divide the reservoir into a top chamber and a bottom chamber. The baffle at least partially defines an oil passageway between the top chamber and the bottom chamber at the second end such that most of the oil flows substantially across the length of the oil pan reservoir twice before being returned to the engine by the oil pickup port.

Abstract: A forward and reverse power shift transmission (10) with an enclosed gear se (38) and a torque converter housing (44) is adapted to be connected to an engine bell housing (12). An input shaft (46), a lay shaft (146) an output shaft 36 and a pump driveshaft (280) are rotatably journaled in the gear case. A clutch cylinder and gear (78) secured to the input shaft is in mesh with a clutch cylinder and gear (178) secured to the lay shaft 146. A clutch gear (100) rotatably mounted on the input shaft (46) and a clutch gear (200) rotatably mounted on the lay shaft (146) are both in mesh with an output gear 240 on the output shaft 36 and in the front portion of the gear case (38). A pump drive gear (248) is journaled on the input shaft (46) and is adapted to be driven by the torque converter housing (262). The pump drive gear (248) is in mesh with a driven pump gear (290) on the pump drive shaft. The pump drive shaft (280) drives a lubrication pump (291) and is also a power take off.
