  • Publication number: 20190301623
    Abstract: A check valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid in a transmission from a first cavity to a second cavity is disclosed. Check valve assembly may include a housing having a fluid passageway therein, a biasing member supported by the housing for axial movement along a first axis, and a valve element positioned within the fluid passageway of the housing. The valve element may be moveable between a seated position and an unseated position. An intersection of a plane normal to the first axis and the valve element defines a seating boundary of the element, which may define a minimum distance from the seating surface of the fluid passageway to the valve element when the valve element is in the unseated position. The check valve may include at least one swage extending radially inwardly from the fluid passageway to limit axial movement of the valve element.

  • Publication number: 20190305643
    Abstract: A method for cooling an electrical machine includes the following steps: guiding a coolant in an axial coolant supply line which is arranged in the rotor shaft, and conducting the coolant into an interior chamber of the electrical machine via a radial coolant supply line which is connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line. The electrical machine has an axial coolant supply line and at least one radial coolant supply line connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line, both of which are arranged in the rotor shaft. An interior chamber of the electrical machine is connected in a coolant-guiding manner to the radial coolant supply line.

  • Publication number: 20180100550
    Abstract: A backing plate assembly includes a front cover and a rear cover. The front cover defines an inner surface and a front plane, and the rear cover terminates at a lip. A backing plate forms a body having an outer surface that terminates at a base portion. When the outer surface is coupled to the inner surface, the backing plate is rotationally but not axially coupled to the front cover. The lip contacts the base portion to define a maximum axial distance between the backing plate and the front plane.

  • Publication number: 20160210440
    Abstract: A human disorder treatment system and method is presented. A disorder diagnosis computing system receives patient data from one or more data input sources, and processes the patient data to generate a diagnosis or risk assessment about a disorder related to a patient associated with the patient data. An output system generates a set of factors and a set of therapy modules based on the diagnosis or risk assessment, the set of therapy modules using the set of factors to generate one or more therapies for the patient to treat the disorder. A client computing system executes the set of therapy modules to incentivize the patient to undergo the one or more therapies to treat the disorder, to monitor a progress of the patient undergoing the one or more therapies, and to generate a reward for the patient for exceeding a desired outcome of undergoing the one or more therapies.
