Abstract: A bushing for promoting fluid transfer between a first body and a second body. The bushing includes a cylindrical sleeve including an inner surface and an outer surface. A groove is formed in the inner surface and defined by a first wall and a second wall. A plurality of openings is defined in the groove, such that the plurality of openings is radially spaced from one another.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an actuation assembly for applying a mechanical diode clutch. The clutch includes an outer member, an inner member, and a strut. The actuation assembly includes a plate having an apply portion and a plurality of legs, where each of the plurality of legs has a first end coupled to the apply portion and a second end adapted to couple to a shift sleeve. A mechanism is coupled to the apply portion of the plate. The mechanism includes at least one biasing member. The plate is moveable between an unapply position and an apply position such that a movement from the unapply position to the apply position induces contact between the mechanism and the strut.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wooden pallet secured by glue and dowels is disclosed. The method comprises preparing and arranging the pallet components; drilling dowel holes in the pallet components; applying glue to the dowels and the pallet components; assembling the pallet components to form assembled components; securing the assembled components together with dowels and glue; and clamping the assembled components for a period of time sufficient to allow the glue to cure and form an assembled wooden pallet.
