  • Publication number: 20230256807
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a vehicle transmission are provided. An electromechanical transmission system includes, in one example, a power take-off (PTO) clutch configured to, in a first position, permit a motive power source shaft to solely drive a PTO. The PTO clutch is further configured to, in a second position, permit a first electric machine and a second electric machine to continuously vary a torque that is supplied to the PTO by the motive power source shaft.

  • Patent number: 8222475
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating radioactive waste water containing contaminating ions, colloids and suspended solids having like (usually negative) charges preventing their precipitation. An electric current is passed through the waste water in an EC assembly to cause electro-coagulation of the contaminants and anodes of this assembly are made of a metal that dissolves to provide cations for neutralizing the negative charges and forming precipitates containing neutralized contaminants. Precipitates are then separated from waste water by an electro-magnetic or other filtering unit. The water pH and conductivity may be adjusted before the EC assembly and additives may be introduced into its effluent for enlargement of precipitate particles, improvement of filtration, improvement of dewaterability, and/or enhancement of magnetism.
