A dog clutch with ratcheting one-way clutch includes an axis, a dog clutch ring, a first ring, a second ring, and a plurality of rockers. The dog clutch ring has a plurality of first teeth. The first ring includes a plurality of second teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a first spline for receiving a first shaft, and a plurality of first pockets. The second ring includes a plurality of third teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a second spline for receiving a second shaft, and a plurality of second pockets. The plurality of rockers is disposed in a one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets for selectively engaging with the other one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets to prevent rotation of the first ring relative to the second ring in only one rotational direction.

A system for powering a prosthetic arm is disclosed. The system includes at least one internal battery located in the prosthetic arm, at least one external battery connected to the prosthetic arm, and a master controller configured to connect either the at least one internal battery or the at least one external battery to a power bus to power the prosthetic arm.

A position sensing assembly for sensing a position of a ferromagnetic element. The position sensing assembly includes a magnet creating a magnetic field. A position transducer is disposed within the magnetic field created by the magnet. A housing defines an interior for housing the magnet and the position transducer therein. The housing defines a housing body and a transducer protrusion extending out from the housing body. The position transducer is housed within the transducer protrusion allowing the position transducer to extend out and away from the magnet while maintaining a parallel orientation with the magnet.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of tests of wheels and automobile chassis suspension systems, and provides a transmission shaft automatic connection and disengagement device and test equipment. An input shaft drives a transmission shaft to rotate through a second connection shaft, a ratchet assembly, a first connection shaft and an output shaft so as to apply an acceleration torque, gears of the input shaft and the first connection shaft can be completely engaged and completely separated through extension and retraction of piston rods of a first group of air cylinders and a second group of air cylinders so as to achieve an effect that when a driving shaft needs to perform driving, a power system gets involved, and after driving is completed, the power system is cut off, and through the ratchet assembly, the transmission shaft can be prevented from driving a motor to work in reverse.

A method and system are disclosed which provides for power generation from oceanic wave motion which utilize: a double concave sided buoy flotation device, a recoil mechanism, an alternating-to-direct motion converter with gears having gravitational unidirectional collapsible teeth thereon and an underwater ramp to direct waves toward the buoy.

A ratchet type one-way clutch includes an outer race having a pocket, an inner race having a notch, a pawl member housed in the pocket to transmit torque between the inner race and the outer race, and having a tip portion engaging with the notch and a circular portion; and a spring urging the pawl member to the inner race is provided. A central angle of the circular portion is 180 degrees or greater. An angle between a segment between both ends of an opening of the circular arc portion and a segment between the circular portion of the pawl member and a contact point at which the tip portion engages with the notch is greater than 90 degrees, and an angle between the spring and a segment between the center of the circular portion and a center of the ratchet type one-way clutch is greater than 45 degrees.
