COOLING SYSTEM FOR POWER TRANSMISSION UNIT
A cooling system for a power transmission unit that can supply oil properly to a differential mechanism and motors. The cooling system comprises: a first branch passage to supply the oil to the differential mechanism; a second branch passage to supply the oil to the first motor; and a third branch passage to supply the oil to the second motor. The second branch passage includes a first oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the first motor, and a second oil feeding section that supplies the oil f to a core of the first motor. The third branch passage includes a third oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the second motor, and a fourth oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a core of the second motor.
ELECTRICAL DRIVE UNIT AND ALSO DRIVE ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELECTRICAL DRIVE UNIT

TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY AND SINGLE FACE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
A torque converter assembly configured to be connected between an engine and a transmission in a vehicle. The torque converter assembly comprises a cover plate having a cover plate pilot portion, a pump, a turbine, a stator, and a clutch assembly operably connected between the cover plate and the turbine. The clutch assembly comprises a piston plate having a single clutch face and a piston pilot portion. The cover plate pilot portion and the piston pilot portion are both configured to be piloted by the engine. A pilot plate located between the cover plate and clutch assembly can help control the amount and/or velocity of fluid that hydrodynamically connects various portions of the torque converter assembly.
EXTERNAL COOLING OF A TORQUE CONVERTER COVER
A transmission comprising a motor, a torque converter cover including an outside surface and an inside surface, a clutch configured to contact a portion of the inside surface of the torque converter cover, and a sprayer including a first end and a second end and configured to emit fluid on an outside surface of the torque converter is disclosed.

TORQUE CONVERTER WITH CHARGE PRESSURE COMPANSATION
A torque converter includes a front cover configured to receive an input torque, and an impeller having an outer shell coupled to the front cover. A clutch is selectively engageable by a piston. A cover compensator is located axially between the front cover and the piston. The cover compensator is configured to reduce deflection of the front cover in the event of high pressures when changing gears in the transmission. The cover compensator has a radially-innermost sealing surface configured to engage and seal with a transmission input shaft. The cover compensator may also has an aperture to fluidly couple fluid chambers located on either axial side of the cover compensator. This can allow fluid to be forced through the clutch to continuously lubricate the clutch.
HYDRODYNAMIC MACHINE, IN PARTICULAR HYDRODYNAMIC CONVERTER
A hydrodynamic machine has a working chamber that may be filled with a working medium and in which a bladed pump impeller and a bladed turbine impeller are arranged to hydrodynamically transmit torque and/or drive power from the pump impeller to the turbine impeller. A working medium inlet and a working medium outlet are provided for inputting and discharging the working medium in/out of the working chamber. A control valve is furnished in the working medium inlet or in a bypass. The control valve changes the working medium quantity flowing into the working chamber. The control valve is connected to the working medium inlet and/or the working medium outlet and actuated such that the flow cross-section of the control valve is variably adjusted as a function of the working medium pressure in the working medium inlet and as a function of the working medium pressure in the working medium outlet.
