  • Patent number: 11585435
    Abstract: A device for a gear shift system for a vehicle, the gear shift system comprising a gear shift member, the device comprises a device member, and a member connector configured to connect to the gear shift member and thereby connect the device to the gear shift system so that, in use, one of the device member and the gear shift member is beneath a rider's foot to provide a first member, and the other of the device member and the gear shift member is above the rider's foot to provide a second member, wherein in use downwards movement of the first member effects a first gear shift and in use upwards movement of the second member effects a second gear shift.

  • Publication number: 20130028695
    Abstract: A working machine hydraulic circuit, including: a hydraulic motor; a pilot pressure system configured to supply hydraulic fluid at a pilot pressure to one or more components of the working machine; and a make-up pressure system in hydraulic fluid communication with the pilot pressure system and the hydraulic motor, and configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic motor from the pilot pressure system if the hydraulic fluid pressure in a part of the hydraulic motor is below a threshold pressure such that, during deceleration of the hydraulic motor, the make-up pressure system is operable to supply fluid from the pilot pressure system to the hydraulic motor to reduce the risk of cavitation in the hydraulic motor.
