Abstract: An apparatus for applying a force or action directed at interacting with or stopping a mechanism, or diverting an object. The apparatus includes a motor, a pusher, a drive shaft, and a retainer. The motor provides the force or action. The drive shaft is coupled to the motor and fitted within the pusher, and the pusher plate is coupled to the motor, with the pusher being fitted within the retainer. The pusher plate comprises an anti-rotation feature that prevents the pusher from rotating and converts the rotation motion of the drive shaft into a linear motion whereby the pusher is pushed out of the retainer, such as to engage, interact with or stop the mechanism. The pusher may be variously configured, such as in the form of a drive nut, ball assembly or roller assembly.

Abstract: Configuration and replication can be managed across multiple sites for datacenter volumes. A visual representation of a current configuration for a first of a plurality of replication techniques can be conveyed for display on a display device. Changes can be made to the current configuration, producing a future configuration. The future configuration can be analyzed for replication errors, and an updated visual representation can be produced that identified discovered replication errors and highlights differences between the current configuration and the future configuration. The updated visual representation can be conveyed, for display on a display device.

Abstract: A bulk roll cutting apparatus with a safety linkage is used to prevent inadvertent gravitational falls of a blade. The apparatus has a frame holding the blade, the blade is movable between a cutting position and a retracted position. In the cutting position, the blade is positioned proximate to an arbor. At least one link arm is movably connected to the frame. An actuator connects between the at least one link arm and the blade. An adjustment device connects between the at least one link arm and the frame. The adjustment device controls a cutting depth of the blade relative to the arbor. A safety linkage connects between the at least one link arm and the frame, and the safety linkage prevents an inadvertent gravitational fall of the blade.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission housing comprising an inner cover; and an outer cover connectable to the inner cover to provide the housing having an interior chamber defined therein. The housing outer cover comprises a primary clutch dome integrally formed within the housing outer cover and defining a primary clutch alcove within the interior chamber of the housing and an air duct integrally formed within the housing outer cover and extending from the primary clutch dome at a proximal end. The air duct structured and operable to direct air circulating within the interior chamber from the primary clutch alcove to an area of the interior chamber that is at an opposite end of the interior chamber from the primary clutch alcove.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (CVT), wherein the CVT includes a housing having an inner cover and an outer cover connected to the inner cover to provide the housing having an interior chamber defined therein. The CVT additionally comprises a clutch assembly disposed within the housing interior chamber, wherein the clutch assembly comprises a clutch post that is connectable to an output shaft of a vehicle prime mover, a movable sheave movably mounted on the clutch post, and a stationary sheave fixedly mounted on the clutch post opposite a front face of the movable sheave. The clutch assembly additionally comprises an intake fan fixedly mounted to the clutch post opposite a rear face of the movable sheave such that the intake fan is separate, independent and spaced apart from the movable sheave.
