This vehicle transmission system includes a transmission (21) in which a gear is shifted by an operation of a driver of a vehicle (1), a clutch device (26) that is disposed in a motion transfer path between the transmission (21) and an engine (13) of the vehicle (1), and is disconnected and connected by an action of a clutch actuator (50), and a clutch control unit (61) that is configured to control disconnection and connection of the clutch device (26) by the clutch actuator (50). In a case where the vehicle (1) is started with a gear position of the transmission (21) located at or above a gear that is set in advance, and a vehicle speed (V) is less than or no higher than a set value (v2) that is set in advance, the clutch control unit (61) transitions to clutch capacity-limiting control in which a clutch capacity is reduced below that during normal clutch control.

A hydraulic gearbox actuator with a hydraulic pump which has a pump body wherein a rotor is arranged, wherein a drive motor is provided with which the rotor can be driven in opposite directions, wherein two working chambers which are separated from each other are formed in the pump body, the working chambers each having two openings, of which at least three openings are connected to a respective pressure supply circuit, the one side of which is connected to a reservoir and the other side of which is connected to one of three pressure outlets of the gearbox actuator.

Among other things, this document describes systems, devices, and methods for improving the delivery and performance of web pages authored to produce virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) experiences. In some embodiments, such web pages are analyzed. This analysis may be initiated at the request of a content server that receives a client request for the HTML. The analysis may involve, asynchronous to the client request, loading the page into a non-user-facing browser environment and allowing the VR or AR scene to execute, even including executing animation routines for a predetermined period of time. Certain characteristics of the scene and of objects are thereby captured. Based on this information, an object list ordered by loading priority is prepared. Consulting this information in response to subsequent requests for the page, a content server can implement server push, early hints and/or other delivery enhancements.

A clutch for a rotary shaft includes an annular pressure chamber with a sleeve surface engaging a surface to drivingly connect the shaft to the clutch, and further includes a trigger device and a channel system activatable by the trigger device upon a relative angular movement between the shaft and the chamber to release the shaft from the housing. The trigger device has a cam wheel having a constant first radius across a first angular interval and a second, smaller, radius across a second angular interval. The cam wheel is supported on an envelope surface within the first angular interval and rotating in relation to the envelope surface when the shaft rotates in relation to the housing. When a contact point reaches the second angular interval, the cam wheel is displaced to activate said channel system.

A transmission is subject to gear shift management that provides for shifting gears in a controlled manner in order to provide for a simplification of part and reduction in system complexity. In particular, a range synchronizer component can be replaced with a simplified range jaw clutch, without incurring a requirement for an installation of other components such as a motor generator or starter-generator.

A method for operating a hydraulic actuator for a prime mover or a drive device of a vehicle includes determining that the hydraulic actuator is to be actuated via an actuating system and detecting an operating variable influenced by a filling state of the hydraulic actuator indicative of pressure conditions in the hydraulic actuator, with the operating variable being separate from actuator operating variables of the hydraulic actuator and the actuating system. The method further includes pressurizing the actuator during a fast fill phase to one or more pressures over a fast fill time period in response to determining that the hydraulic actuator is to be actuated. The fast fill time period and the one or more pressures are adjusted as a function of the operating variable under certain operating conditions. Additionally, the method includes pressurizing the actuator during a pressure build-up phase after the fast fill phase.

Methods and systems are provided for wet clutch pressure control to reduce drag and degradation of rotary seals in a transmission. In one example, a method may include determining an upper threshold pressure based on a rotational speed of a shaft of the transmission, determining a lower threshold pressure based on the rotational speed of the shaft, and adjusting a pressure of hydraulic fluid applied to the clutch to be between the upper threshold pressure and the lower threshold pressure. In this way, the pressure of the hydraulic fluid applied to the clutch may be maintained at a level that allows full torque transfer by the wet clutch while reducing drag on the rotary seals.

A transmission system efficiently performs efficiently and also provides the ability to perform full-power shifts. For example, a secondary clutch actuator, independent of fluid actuation, may eliminate the need for a pump to continuously provide high pressure during regular vehicle operation such that high pressures are only required during a shift event. This eliminates the need for energy at the pump to maintain application of the clutch, thereby allowing such energy to be used of other systems in the EV or to facilitate increased vehicle range.

A hydraulic transformer clutch employs radial hydraulic piston assemblies with integrated electrohydraulic actuation. The hydraulic transformer clutch includes: an output shaft, an output disc affixed to the output shaft for rotation therewith, an input shaft, a rotatable housing affixed to one of the input shaft or the output shaft for rotation therewith, a plurality of hydraulic cylinders, and a plurality of working pistons. The hydraulic cylinders are operatively connected to the rotatable housing, and are spaced about the rotatable housing. Each working piston is slidably mounted within a corresponding hydraulic cylinder of the plurality of hydraulic cylinders, and is positioned to be selectively pushed, when actuated, to create a rigid connection between the input shaft and the output shaft. One or more actuator pistons are pushed by an electromagnet and create pressure that is distributed on working piston surfaces and generates active torque.
