Abstract: In part, skew limiter for a toric-drive CVT embodiments are disclosed. A skew limiter may include a shaped piece that limits the skew angle to a known angle notwithstanding the tilt angle of the rollers.

Abstract: A skew limiter for a toric-drive CVT is described herein. The skew limiter proposes a shaped piece that limits the skew angle to a known angle notwithstanding the tilt angle of the rollers.

Abstract: A method where the spin factor is looked up in a table; the slip factor is measured and the clamping pressure is adjusted to achieve a slip/spin ratio provided in a desired range is described herein. According to another aspect, an active mechanical clamping mechanism using a longitudinally movable contact point is also described.

Abstract: A display system that encodes shading in an image to be displayed. The system comprises a video display having a plurality of pixel elements each being mapped to a respective bit within a memory, and a controller for energizing, at a predetermined frame refresh rate, the pixel elements according to an image bitmap stored in the memory. An energizing pattern of successive frames, which defines the shading by indicating for each frame whether the pixels of the display generally are to be on or off, is utilized by a processor to generate, at the refresh rate, an encoded bitmap by manipulating bits of a source bitmap as a function of the energizing pattern for each of the frames, and storing the encoded bitmap in the memory.
