There is provided a work vehicle including a partition wall to keep partition between a first space zone as part of an internal space of the transmission case in which a differential mechanism is located and a second space zone as part of the internal space which is adjacent to the first space zone. An upper space is disposed above the partition wall and configured to allow lubricating oil scooped up from the first space zone by a ring gear to flow in the second space zone. A flow-out path is disposed below the upper space and configured to allow the lubricating oil to flow out of the second space zone to the first space zone.

The present application provides a hybrid power system and a vehicle. The hybrid power system includes a gearbox, an engine, a first motor, and a second motor; wherein the gearbox includes a first input shaft, an output shaft, a second input shaft, a first speed change mechanism, and a second speed change mechanism, wherein the first input shaft is connected to the output shaft via the first speed change mechanism, and the second input shaft is connected to the output shaft via the second speed change mechanism; the engine and the first motor are drivingly connected to the first input shaft; and the second motor is drivingly connected to the second input shaft.

An electrical propulsion system for bicycles (E-bike) is claimed. The system comprises an electric motor, at least three speed reduction stages and an output gear (driven gear). The motor has an output shaft oriented towards one side of the system, while the output gear is located on the opposite side of the system. The first and second reduction stage are located on the same side as the drive gear which is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The sub-claims specify the first reduction stage to be a planetary gear set and specify the location of the third reduction stage. Further is the motor defined as high speed motor and is the system specified as module for mounting to a bicycle bottom bracket.

Variable displacement systems, utilizing a phase relationship controller to determine and control the volumetric displacement of liquid and gas compression systems, including applications of said systems to continuously variable, constant speed power transmissions and to variable compression-ratio internal combustion engines.

Known autonomous taxi systems for aircraft include a rigid connection between the aircraft wheel and a gear which is used to drive it. Such arrangements have been found to suffer from the problem that wheel deformation modes cause unacceptable wear and/or stresses within the drive system and/or wheel. The present invention thus proposes a drive system for an aircraft landing gear, the drive system comprising: a pinion gear; a drive shaft arranged to rotate the pinion gear about a drive axis; a driven gear arranged to mesh with the pinion gear to be rotatable by the pinion gear, the driven gear being connectable to a wheel of the landing gear to be capable of rotating the wheel about a wheel axis; and a flexible interface. The flexible interface comprises a plurality of driven gear coupling members, each driven gear coupling member having a first connection portion attached to the driven gear, a second connection portion adapted to be attached to the wheel at an offset distance from the wheel axis, and a joint between the first connection portion and the second connection portion, the joint permitting relative movement between the first connection portion and the second connection portion.

A torque converter, including: a cover arranged to receive torque; an impeller including an impeller shell non-rotatably connected to the cover and at least one impeller blade connected to the impeller shell; a turbine including a turbine shell, at least one turbine blade connected to the turbine shell, and a heat treated portion; and a torsional vibration damper including: a cover plate arranged to receive torque from the cover or the turbine; and a spring. The spring is engaged with the cover plate and is arranged to contact the heat treated portion when the spring is compressed.
