  • Publication number: 20080009205
    Abstract: An automatic speed control system that provides desired watercraft velocity over land. The coupled algorithms correct engine speed and torque using inertia based measurements, GPS, and tachometer measurements, and the corrections are augmented and enhanced by velocity/speed and torque/speed relationships that are dynamically and adaptively programmed with real-time data collected during replicated operations of the watercraft in specified conditions.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6578450
    Abstract: A power-splitting transmission which consists of a hydraulic power branch (7) and a mechanical power branch. Leakage in the hydraulic power branch (7) as well as the activation apparatuses (12) in the mechanical power branch are supplied with a pressurized medium from a common pressure source (1). The common pressure source (1) transports pressure medium to the hydraulic power branch (7), through a damping apparatus (3), and simultaneously transports pressure medium to the activation apparatuses (12) of the shifting elements (13) of the mechanical power branch via a controller (11).

  • Patent number: 5470107
    Abstract: A safety steering system for a motor vehicle which includes a steering shaft received in a steering column, with the steering column including axially extending elongate slots having each opposite end limiting edges and spaced substantially linear limiting edges extending between the opposite end limiting edges and with the end limiting edge remote from a steering wheel side of the steering column having a circular shape defining a circular opening having a diameter, which is greater than a distance between the spaced substantially linear limiting edges, corresponding to the diameter of said circular opening, and the steering column being secured to a vehicle body with circular connecting elements extending through spacer sleeves located in the circular openings and surrounded by bushes made of an easily deformable material.
