Abstract: A power apparatus includes a drive motor, a motor shaft mechanically connected to a wheel of a vehicle, an engine, a crankshaft mechanically connected to the motor shaft and configured to output torque of the engine, a clutch disposed on a power transmission path between the crankshaft and the motor shaft, a controller configured to start-control the engine with the torque of the drive motor, and a magnetic deceleration mechanism which reduces torque of the drive motor necessary for starting the engine by magnetically reducing the rotational speed of the crankshaft during start control. When starting the engine, the controller excites the magnetic deceleration mechanism in a state where the clutch is released.

Abstract: Elevated train comprised of one or more wagons (1) that move suspended from a rail (2) or the like. This rail is provided at the train stops with at least two transverse gaps that determine a segment (5) from which said train is suspended, with this segment in turn suspended from elevation device (7) that allow its displacement in a vertical sense together with said train between an upper position for circulation and a bottom one in which it rests on or is next to the ground.

Abstract: A driving wheel is displaced downward by running off a traveling wheel when a vehicle passes through a diverging part and a detection value of an encoder provided in the driving wheel becomes incorrect by spinning free of the driving wheel. A track is equipped with a pair of the right and left traveling rails for traveling of a traveling wheel equipped with a vehicle, a slit formed to pass a traveling vehicle body between the traveling rails and a traveling face provided over the traveling rails, and the vehicle is provided with a pressure device for contacting a drive wheel with a traveling face.

Abstract: A system (1) for transferring a movable load (2) for an installation (3) for conveying the load (2), and to transfer the load (2) from an arrival track (8) where the load (2) is conveyed along an entry conveying path (C), to at least first (9) and second (10) exit tracks where the load (2) is conveyed, the system (1) including a movable track section (11) adjustable for position, where the load (2) is conveyed along an intermediate conveying path, in which the section (11) includes at least two end to end track segments (16) mounted pivotally with respect to each other by a device (17) close to a junction (18) between segments (16) so that the entry, intermediate and exit conveying paths form, end to end, a conveying path whose tangent has continuous variation.
