  • Patent number: 8784257
    Abstract: A continuously variable transmission has an input shaft and an output shaft. The transmission includes a variator unit having an input shaft and an output shaft, and a planetary gear wheel unit having a planet carrier, a first sun wheel and a second sun wheel. The input shaft of the transmission is rotationally connectable to the planet carrier and to the input shaft of the variator unit, and a shaft rotationally fixed to the first sun wheel is rotationally connectable to the output shaft of the variator unit. The planet carrier is provided with a first inner set of planet wheels for meshing engagement with the first sun wheel and a second outer set of planet wheels for meshing engagement with the second sun wheel.

  • Publication number: 20090169596
    Abstract: A method and a mould for manufacturing a nerve regeneration device specifically adapted to an individual injury in the spinal cord are proposed, which will allow axons in the damaged area to regenerate and restore function. The resulting device can be adapted to a specific wound in order to ascertain an exact and reproducible anatomical positioning of the channels. The mould includes a base plate (25), a top plate (27) and a centre part (33), each of the base plate (25) and the top plate (27) having a number of holes corresponding to points in the injured spinal cord where nerves should be regenerated, and the centre part having a channel therethrough, arranged to receive a number of threads, each thread exiting the mould through one hole in the top plate (27) and a matching hole in the base plate (25).

  • Publication number: 20080267159
    Abstract: A method for communication between several nodes and a maste: in a communication network, wherein each node is assigned a time slot in which to transmit. The nodes are arranged in groups, so that the first group comprises all nodes inside the coverage area of the master. The second group is outside the coverage area of the master but inside the coverage area of any node of the first group, etc. Any node reaches the master or is being reached by the master via a node in a previous group in a multi-hop approach. The time slots are assigned in dependence of the distance to the master. In a message period, in which the master sends a message to any node, the first group is assigned a first group of time slots, and the second group is assigned a second group of time slots, following the first group of time slots, etc. In this way, the message from the master can be sent out to all nodes in a single message period.

  • Patent number: 7195574
    Abstract: Motor vehicle transmission, comprising an input shaft (27) adapted to be drivingly connected to an output shaft of an internal combustion engine, a variator in the form of two electric machines (22, 40) having a first and a second input/output shaft (21, 41), a planetary gear train (1) for splitting power between the input shaft (27) and one of the input/output shafts (21, 41) when transmitting torque to an output gear wheel (35) of the transmission and first clutch means (13) having an engaged position establishing torque transmission between one of the input/output shafts and the output gear wheel via the the planetary gear train and a disengaged position disrupting this torque transmission. A gear train (42, 34, 31) is arranged to enable torque transmission from one of the input/output shafts to the output gear wheel, thereby by-passing the planetary gear train. Second clutch means (39) has an engaged position to establish and a disengaged position to disrupt said last mentioned torque transmission.
