A hydraulic propulsion system converts heat or thermal energy into hydraulic energy, and such hydraulic energy into mechanical work. The hydraulic propulsion system includes a thermal unit, a hydraulic cylinder with pistons and springs mounted therein, one or more hydraulic motors, one or more hydraulic accumulators, and one or more electrical energy generators, as well as a plurality of flow control valves to control the flow of hydraulic fluid between the various components. The hydraulic propulsion system may be enhanced by an energy transmission unit including a wave generator.

A mounting system for a powertrain of a vehicle may secure a sufficient installation space inside of vehicle body frames and greatly reduce a height difference between the center of gravity of a motor-reducer assembly and insulators, thus greatly improving NVH performance of the vehicle. The mounding system includes: mounting units to mount the powertrain of the vehicle to the vehicle body frames. Each mounting unit includes: a vehicle body-side bracket coupled to the vehicle body frame, a powertrain-side bracket coupled to the powertrain, and an insulator installed between the vehicle body-side bracket and the powertrain-side bracket. The vehicle body-side bracket as coupled to an outer surface of the vehicle body frame extends downwards from the vehicle body frame, and thus, the vehicle body-side bracket and the insulator are located in an outer space of the vehicle body frame.

Methods and systems are provided for using energy harvesting modules as a means for providing energy to power an electrical load and/or as a means for monitoring an operational state of a component or components to which the energy harvesting module is coupled. In one example, a method includes, via a controller, monitoring an actual amount of energy generated by an energy harvesting module attached to a mounting structure that is used to secure a torque-supplying machine to a frame, comparing the actual amount to an expected amount, and indicating degradation of the mounting structure and/or the torque-supplying machine based on the comparing. In this way, the energy harvesting modules may both power electrical loads and simultaneously serve as a monitor for component degradation.

The present invention relates to a water energy cleaner for a pool, including a housing which is provided with a water inlet in the middle position of the bottom; a hydraulic motor used for providing power for the cleaner; travelling mechanisms used for travelling; a reversing mechanism used for changing a travelling direction; and a rotating swing joint mechanism used for connecting an external water outlet pipe and capable of swinging and rotating back and forth relative to the housing, The rotating swing joint mechanism of the present invention can swing and rotate back and forth relative to the travelling direction of the cleaner, which is beneficial for preventing the cleaner from being easily affected by a water pipe when the cleaner climbs up the wall of the pool for cleaning.

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a deployment system that includes a vehicle frame of a deployment vehicle, a drive sub-system, which includes wheels secured to the vehicle frame, a swage machine, and a fluid power sub-system. The swage machine includes a grab plate, which interlocks with a grab notch on a pipe fitting to be secured to a pipe segment, which includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the tubing, a die plate including a die, and a fluid actuator that actuates the grab plate toward the die plate to facilitate conformally deforming a fitting jacket of the pipe fitting around the tubing of the pipe segment. The fluid power sub-system selectively powers the drive sub-system or the swage machine based on a target operation to be performed by the deployment vehicle.
