  • Patent number: 10215143
    Abstract: A pressure-limiting valve for a fuel injection system includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a sealing seat, and a sealing body configured to move between a closed position in which the sealing body is in contact with the sealing seat, which blocks fluid flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and additional positions that permit such fluid flow, and a holding device for keeping the sealing body in one of the additional positions if the sealing body is moved at least a specified distance away from the sealing seat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2019

  • Patent number: 6024667
    Abstract: The prime mover of a power train for use in a motor vehicle normally drives a flywheel by way of a first engageable/disengageable clutch, and the flywheel drives the rotary input member of an automated change-speed transmission assembly by way of a second engageable/disengageable clutch. At least one first auxiliary aggregate (such as the pump of a power steering unit) can receive torque directly from the prime mover, and at least one second auxiliary aggregate (such as the compressor of an air conditioning system) can receive torque from the input member of the transmission assembly or from the prime mover. The rotary output member of the transmission assembly can receive torque from a continuously variable transmission which receives torque from the input member by way of a planetary, or from a planetary which receives torque from a continuously variable transmission. The internal gear of the planetary can be arrested by a stationary brake to thus interrupt the transmission of torque to the output member.
