A power actuator for a latch of a motor vehicle closure panel has an electric motor to rotate a lead screw about an axis. A nut is disposed about the lead screw for selective translation along the lead screw. A clutch plate is configured for selective rotation about the axis when engaged with the nut, with a biasing member biasing the nut out of engagement with the clutch plate when the electric motor is de-energized. A carrier member is coupled with the nut to cause the nut to translate into engagement with the clutch plate during rotation of the lead screw, whereupon the nut and carrier member co-rotate with the clutch plate and leadscrew. A driven member is operably coupled with the clutch plate and with the latch via a cable/rod, such that the driven member maintains the latch in a cinched state when the electric motor is energized.

A turning device includes a hand disc coupled to an input shaft; a reduction gear set accommodated in a housing and connected to the input shaft and an output shaft; and a shaft connector for connecting the output shaft and a motor spindle.

A gear train side latching mechanism may include a bracket having one or more guiding features, a handle mechanically coupled to the bracket via the one or more guiding features such that the handle is linearly movable with respect to the bracket, a rack mechanically coupled to the handle comprising a first plurality of gear teeth and configured to move linearly relative to the bracket in a fixed relation to the handle, a driving gear rotatably coupled to the bracket and comprising a compound circular spur gear having a second plurality of gear teeth on an outer diameter of the driving gear and a third plurality of gear teeth on an inner diameter of the driving gear, wherein the second plurality of gear teeth are mechanically coupled to the first plurality of gear teeth, and an actuator gear rotatably coupled to the bracket and comprising a fourth plurality of gear teeth mechanically coupled to the third plurality of gear teeth and further comprising one or more features configured to engage with a corresponding engagement feature of a mechanical member. The gear train side latching mechanism may be arranged such that linear motion of the handle relative to the bracket transmits mechanical energy to the actuator gear via the rack and the driving gear to cause the actuator gear to mechanically interact with the engagement feature to transmit mechanical energy to the engagement feature.

An end effector of a surgical tool includes a first jaw and a second jaw rotated by a driving pulley. A first driven pulley is attached to the first jaw and a second driven pulley is attached to the second jaw. A first end portion of a first cable is connected to a first radial side of the first driven pulley, a second end portion of the first cable is connected to a second radial side of the second driven pulley, and an intermediate portion of the first cable is connected to the driving pulley. A first end portion of a second cable is connected to a first radial side of the second driven pulley, a second end portion of the second cable is connected to a second radial side of the first driven pulley, and an intermediate portion of the second cable is connected to the driving pulley.

A joint exoskeleton auxiliary driving mechanism has a first driving module. The first driving module has a first gear member, a first connecting member, a first rotating driver, a first linear driver, and a first motion element. The first connecting member is disposed on a side of the first gear member. The first rotating driver is disposed on the first connecting member and engages with the first gear member. The first linear driver is disposed on the first connecting member. The first motion assembly is connected to a first power output element of the first linear driver. The joint exoskeleton auxiliary driving mechanism has two degrees of freedom motion function such as forward rotation, reverse rotation, and dorsiflexion or extension, and has the advantages of structural simplification, precise strength controlling, lightweight, and miniaturization.

A first end portion of a second cable is connected to a first radial side of the second driven pulley, a second end portion of the second cable is connected to a second radial side of the first driven pulley, and an intermediate portion of the second cable is connected to the driving pulley.

A mechanical arm assembly which has two arm members connected by an elbow. The movable connectors at the end of each arm are connected by belts or the like to a locking mechanism at the elbow such that engaging the locking mechanism simultaneously locks both movable connectors as well as the elbow.

A windshield wiper system (WWS) is provided and includes a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor with a motor output shaft gear, a gear train and an internally cut sector gear. The gear train includes a first gear, which has a first diameter and engages with the motor output shaft gear, and a second gear, which has a second diameter that is shorter than the first diameter and rotates with the first gear. The internally cut sector gear is coupled with an output shaft and formed to define an internal geared groove that engages with the second gear.

A feeder includes a housing, an ejection structure, and a driving module. The housing includes a discharge channel. The discharge channel has an accommodating space and a discharge port communicated with each other. The ejection structure includes an ejection blade. The ejection blade is rotatably disposed in the accommodating space. The driving module is configured to rotate the ejection structure, so that the ejection blade ejects the feed located in the accommodating space away from the discharge port. The driving module includes a position-returning member configured to maintain the ejection structure in a first rotational orientation relative to the housing. The driving module is further configured to rotate the ejection structure relative to the housing to exceed a second rotational orientation and then release the ejection structure.
