Abstract: An air induction system for a vehicle includes a turbocharger having a compressor side inlet and a bifurcated clean air intake system having a bifurcated conduit. The bifurcated conduit includes an upstream end configured to receive intake air, a downstream end configured to supply intake air to the compressor side inlet, an inner passage configured to supply intake air to the downstream end, and an outer passage disposed about the inner passage and separated from the inner passage by an inner wall, the outer passage configured to selectively receive recirculation backflow from the compressor side inlet. A port is fluidly coupled between the outer passage and another location of the vehicle. The port is configured to selectively evacuate at least a portion of the recirculation backflow to the another location the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle transmission braking mode comprises determining a set of available clutches of the plurality of clutches that are not being utilized for engagement of a particular forward gear of the plurality of forward gears, determining at least one of a modeled temperature, a measured temperature, and a modeled energy of each clutch of the set of available clutches to obtain a set of at least one of clutch temperatures and energies, and based on at least the set of available clutches and the set of at least one of clutch temperatures and energies, selectively operate the transmission in the transmission braking mode by at least partially applying at least one clutch of the set of available clutches to mitigate or prevent powerflow through the transmission and thereby decrease or maintain a speed of the vehicle and/or reduce acceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for folding and cutting tape, including Ultraflex™ tape. The apparatus includes a platform, which may be hinged for folding. A tape roll retainer, tape roller, tape folder, folded tape guide, optional meter and a cutter are removably affixed to the platform. The tape folder is configured to cause automatic folding of the tape when directed therethrough. The tape folder includes a pair of opposing folding components that force the tape into a folded configuration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a portable net supporting apparatus having a pair of substantially upright net supporting posts held in predetermined spaced relationship by a rigid rod-like member which may be laid on the floor or ground. A net or the like is attached between the tops of the posts and when strained causes the posts to flex whereby the net cord is held taut. Lateral supporting legs attached to the posts prevent the net from falling over such as when struck by a ball.
