  • Patent number: 8950290
    Abstract: A vehicle is described having a transmission driven through a propulsion unit such as an engine, and through a CVT. The transmission is comprised of an input shaft and an output shaft which are coaxially disposed. An idler shaft is driven by the input shaft, and the idler shaft drives the output shaft, through selected gear sets, to provide different gear ratios or drive directions. The CVT also has a fan on the driven side which feeds air through the CVT for cooling. The CVT comprises a drive side clutch and a driven side clutch with the output shaft of the extending through the CVT driven clutch.

  • Patent number: 8906113
    Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthesis with a prosthesis socket which has an inner face and is designed to be arranged on an amputation stump after a liner has been pulled over the latter, such that the inner face is directed toward the liner and a volume is enclosed between the inner face and the liner, and with a pump for generating an underpressure in the volume when the prosthesis socket is arranged on the amputation stump, characterized in that the pump is a peristaltic pump (1).

  • Patent number: 8899524
    Abstract: Disclosed is an aircraft door including a handle-activated pressure relief system that avoids potentially dangerous pressure differences between the cabin and the atmosphere outside the aircraft. A flow path is created between the inboard and outboard handles on the door. A pressure vent door is located in the flow path. The vent door being is opened when either of the inboard and outboard handle assemblies are activated. Once either handle is rotated beyond a particular point, a spring in the supporting mechanics becomes over-center. At the same time, the vent door comes under the influence of a magnet, snapping the vent open. After the door has been opened, it can be relatched by operating the handles in the reverse direction. The magnet and spring hold the vent door open until the aircraft door is fully latched, sealed, and secured. Only then does the vent door sealingly close.

  • Patent number: 8820690
    Abstract: A force-spreading clamp including a tubular body having a longitudinal opening for receiving at least a portion of a generally cylindrical object and a wall encircling the longitudinal opening, a gate including a clamping member positioned within the longitudinal opening and having a contact wall for distributing clamping force along a surface of a generally cylindrical object, a guide mechanism being configured to maintain alignment between the gate and the tubular body, and an actuator configured to actuate the gate in a radially inward direction with respect to the tubular body wall to cause the clamping member to apply clamping force to a generally cylindrical object.

  • Publication number: 20060206522
    Abstract: Embodiments herein use a centralized calendar database to store calendar entries for a plurality of entities. Each of the entities has a computing device separate from the centralized calendar database, and each of the computing devices has a graphic user interface. In addition, multiple calendar processors are utilized. Each calendar processor operates within an associated computing device, and each calendar processor is in communication with the centralized calendar database. The calendar processors generate a continuously updated calendar display on a corresponding graphic user interface. The actual calendar entries are stored only in the centralized calendar database, and the calendar entries are not stored locally within the computing device.
