  • Publication number: 20260168550
    Abstract: A clutch includes a clutch fluid chamber with a movable clutch piston configured to selectively engage a clutch pack to connect an input drive portion and an output portion. A brake reaction plate is configured for selective frictional braking of the output portion. A brake fluid chamber contains a brake piston configured to selectively move the brake reaction plate from a disabled position to an enabled position. In a first state, the clutch pack is disengaged and the brake reaction plate is in the disabled position. In a second state, the clutch pack is engaged and the brake reaction plate is in the enabled position, without frictional braking of the output portion of the clutch being applied. In a third state, the clutch pack is disengaged and the brake reaction plate is in the enabled position such that frictional braking of the output portion is applied.

  • Patent number: 12525712
    Abstract: A communication system comprising a radio device and a gooseneck device. The radio device may be coupled to a first antenna and a second antenna. A feedline gooseneck device may be coupled to the first antenna. The feedline gooseneck device may include a coaxial cable coupled between the mobile device and the first antenna and a ferrite element positioned along the coaxial cable. The ferrite element is configured to reduce EM interaction between the first and the second antenna. The ferrite element may be one of a plurality of ferrite elements and the feedline gooseneck device may further include a plurality of flexible elements positioned adjacent to each of the plurality of ferrite elements. The system allows for reduction of an amount of electromagnetic interference between the first antenna coupled to the gooseneck and the second antenna.

The ferrite element may be one of a plurality of ferrite elements and the feedline gooseneck device may further include a plurality of flexible elements positioned adjacent to each of the plurality of ferrite elements. The ferrite element(s) may surround at least 60% of a length of the coaxial cable. The first antenna may be removably coupled to the gooseneck device. The system allows for reduction of an amount of electromagnetic interference between the first antenna coupled to the gooseneck and the second antenna.

  • Publication number: 20050119533
    Abstract: A radiofrequency adapter for medical monitoring equipment which includes a controller which is physically connected to a sensor, and an integrator which is physically connected to a medical monitor; the controller and the integrator are physically separated; the controller provides signal receiving means which receive the signals generated by the sensor, signal conditioning and digitising means, and a radiofrequency transmitter connected to the conditioning and digitising means and arranged to transmit the digitised signals across a wireless radiofrequency link to a radiofrequency receiver incorporated in the integrator; the integrator also includes means for reconstructing the received digital signals back to an analogue signals and means for transmitting the reconstructed and an analogue signals to a monitor physically connected to the integrator.
