Abstract: A lubrication assembly and operating method are provided herein. The lubrication assembly includes a rotating component an axial recess positioned on an axial side of the rotating component, and a lubricant conveyor that remains stationary relative to the rotating component and extends into the axial recess to form a gap between axial recess and the first lubricant conveyor. The lubricant conveyor directs a lubricant toward the axial recess during rotation to generate a lubricant spray focused in a targeted direction.

Abstract: A fluid sump for accommodating a lubricating fluid and transmission housing for a vehicle comprising such a fluid sump. The fluid sump may comprise a first compartment for collecting the lubricating fluid, a second compartment in which the lubricating fluid can be brought in contact with a rotating member, and an intermediate compartment having a first opening for introducing the lubricating fluid from the first compartment into the intermediate compartment, a second opening for introducing the lubricating fluid from the intermediate compartment into the second compartment, and a floating element. In one or more examples, the first opening can be opened and closed by the floating element, and the first compartment, the intermediate compartment and the second compartment are provided with ambient pressure.

Abstract: A system and method for lubrication system are provided. The lubrication system includes a floater container including a floater compartment that contains a buoyant floater, where the floater container is coupled to a housing bulkhead and where the floater container includes an inlet opening in a first wall that is off-axis from a horizontal plane and forms an angle with a second wall. Further, the housing bulkhead includes an outlet opening positioned lower than the inlet opening and provides fluidic communication between the floater compartment and a rotating component compartment that contains a rotating component.

Abstract: A wet brake system, a method therefor, and a vehicle including such system, the system comprising: a housing enclosing a brake compartment, at least one friction plate rotatably disposed within the brake compartment, at least one separator plate disposed within the brake compartment, coupled to the housing and configured to be frictionally engaged with the at least one friction plate for braking the at least one friction plate, the at least one friction plate and the at least one separator plate configured to be at least partially submersed in a liquid held within the brake compartment, and a liquid reservoir, wherein a drain port is arranged such that the at least one friction plate when rotating is configured to convey liquid held within the brake compartment to the liquid reservoir via the drain port and a drain channel for draining the brake compartment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a transmission are provided. The method includes estimating a stroke position of the hydraulic control piston based on a pressure of a fluid in a hydraulic line and a valve and a coefficient of the hydraulic line, where the hydraulic line is coupled to a chamber of the hydraulic control piston. The method further includes controlling a pressure of fluid delivered from the valve to the hydraulic control piston based on the estimated stroke position to achieve a piston stroke set-point during a filling phase.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a high-dynamics safety-critical system, comprising a plurality of apparatuses, a plurality of interface devices through which a user can interact with the apparatuses, and a control computer connected to the apparatuses and the interface devices and on which there is installed a software product designed to implement and manage the data exchange between management modules for the apparatuses and management modules for the interface devices, in which the management modules for the interface devices acquire the selections made by a user via the interface devices, the selections are then transformed into commands for the apparatuses, and the commands thus generated are then stored in a shared database in such a way as to be usable by the management modules of the apparatus and actuated on the latter.

Abstract: A “on line” system of conditional access and audience control for communication service of the broadcast and multicast kind that does not use smartcard or other dedicated hardware on the user side, in which a set of information data for broadcast communications (unidirectional) is encrypted by means of dynamic keys that are sent to each enabled user through an interactive and bidirectional channel.

Abstract: A demodulator for biphase, suppressed-carrier PSK signals, in particular useful for the demodulation of digital information transmitted as an auxiliary information in radio transmission channels, in particular of the "radiodata" kind comprising a filter for the extraction of the portion of the base band spectrum carrying said PSK signals, an amplitude limiter connected to the output of said filter for standardizing the amplitude of said PSK signals, a double-loop circuit receiving the limiter signal comprising a first loop associated with a data transition tracking loop decoder; a second loop constituted by a digital phase-locked loop. The double loop circuit cooperates with a stable oscillator for providing a frequency at a predetermined multiple of the frequency of the suppressed carrier of said PSK signal from the limiter signal.
