The present invention relates to an electronic gear shifter assembly for a dual-mode flying and driving vehicle. The electronic gear shifter assembly may include a lever moveable between a first shifting path that includes at least one drive-related operating position, and a second shifting path that includes at least one flying-related operating position.

Disclosed is a throttle quadrant arrangement utilizing a single throttle lever. The single lever is independently mechanically connected to three Rotary Variable Differential Transformers (RVDTs). Failure points are engineered into the design such that when one of the mechanical jams, the mechanical connection to the other two RVDTs will not be compromised.

An active shift control method for a power-off downshift of the hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes increasing the torque of an engagement clutch in a transmission while disengaging a disengagement clutch by reducing the torque of the disengagement clutch in the transmission, when the shift of a power-off downshift is requested. A motor speed is adjust for a transmission input shaft rotary speed to reach a predetermined target stage synchronization speed of a target stage after shifting, and the torque of the engagement clutch is maintained in a state where the disengagement clutch has been disengaged. The engagement of the engagement clutch is completed by increasing the torque of the engagement clutch when the transmission input shaft rotary speed has reached the target stage synchronization speed.

The present invention comprises: a transmission device that shifts output to a travel unit from an engine by changing the position of a slide gear; a motor that changes the position of a ride gear; a cross-lever main transmission lever that is operable in the front-rear and left-right directions and is biased to return to a neutral operation position; and a control device that is configured so as to actuate the motor in response to the front-rear operation of the main transmission lever to switch the shift position of the transmission device and vary the function to be performed by the left-right operation of the main transmission lever according to the shift position of the transmission device.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger having at least one partition and surface elements which project from at least one side of the partition and which enlarge the surface of the partition and around which a fluid can flow. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of proposing heat exchangers of low mass with high thermal transmission capacity. This problem is solved by means of a heat exchanger in which the surface elements are formed so as to project in the manner of fins from the partition, and the surface elements have reinforcement beads, wherein the reinforcement beads extend as far as the partition.

The invention relates to a display and operating device (10) for at least one vehicle component, in particular a radio, a CD and/or DVD player or similar audio and/or video player, a navigation device, an infotainment device, a heating, ventilating or aid condition control unit, or a human-machine interface, which is provided with a mechanical control element (18) for setting an operational parameter of at least one first vehicle component and a touch screen (12) for outputting information, and control keys (14) and/or other operational parameters for the first vehicle component and/or at least one second vehicle component. The touch screen (12) comprises a recess (16) and the mechanical operating element (18) is arranged in the recess (16) of the touch screen (12).

A servo includes a motor having a rotating shaft, an output shaft disposed apart from the rotating shaft, a transmission mechanism to transmit mechanical power from the motor to the output shaft, a circuit board, a first detected member fixed to an end of the rotating shaft, a second detected member fixed to an end of the output shaft adjacent to the circuit board; and a first detecting member and a second detecting member mounted on the circuit board and configured to respectively detect rotational angles of the rotating shaft and the output shaft, based on changes caused by rotation of the first detected member and the second detected member.

A control system for a four-wheel drive vehicle configured to improve energy efficiency by avoiding selection of a four-wheel drive mode more than necessary. The control system comprises a controller that shifts an operating mode between a two-wheel drive mode and a four-wheel drive mode. When a control of the prime mover is terminated, the controller detects the operating mode selected by a switch before restarting the control of the prime mover. If the two-wheel drive mode or the four-wheel drive mode was selected by the switch before restarting the control of the prime mover, the controller selects the two-wheel drive mode when restarting the control of the prime mover.

A vehicle shifting mechanism includes a gearbox, a shift drive unit and a gearshift lever. Through electrical connection between a control switch and the shift drive unit, the operation of controlling the forward or reverse gear is carried out, so that the shift drive unit drives the gearshift lever to produce the action of pushing down the gear or pushing up the gear. Through an automatic shift switch and in cooperation with a main driving control processor, when the automatic shift switch is turned into automatic shift mode, the main driving control processor receives the data of the main power motor or the engine speed and torque load of the vehicle to activate the shift drive unit to drive the gearshift lever to generate a fully automatic downshifting gear or an upshifting gear and a neutral gear control.

An operating device for a shift by wire assembly in an automobile includes a selection apparatus configured to select an operation mode (R, N, D) of the automobile, wherein the selectable operation modes comprise a reverse operation mode (R), a neutral operation mode (N) and a drive operation mode (D), wherein the selection apparatus is further configured to select an autonomous drive operation mode (AD).
