Provided herein is a transmission system including: a housing; a pair of double-layered gears for transmitting a power from a motor to a screw driver shaft defining a transmission axis, the pair of gears including a first bigger gear and a first smaller gear; a torque cup for covering a leading end portion of the housing through which the shaft is extended from the housing; a first set of planetary gears for driving the shaft, regularly surrounding and meshing the first smaller gear; and a first ring gear for sliding axially against the housing and meshing the first bigger gear and/or the first set of planetary gears; wherein the torque cup can be turned to force the first ring gear to slide axially.

An apparatus for an air turbine starter for an engine. The air turbine starter includes a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet for communicating a flow of gas there through. A turbine member is journaled within the housing and disposed within the flow path for rotatably extracting mechanical power from the flow of gas and having a turbine output shaft. The air turbine starter further includes a planetary gear system drivingly coupled with the turbine output shaft and including a sun gear, a ring gear mounted to the housing, and a set of planetary gears operably coupling the sun gear and the ring gear with the sun gear is coupled to the turbine output shaft.

A planetary gearbox includes a ring gear accommodated in a housing part, the ring gear particularly has on its radially outer surface, in particular its radially outer side, an annular groove, the annular groove, in particular a circumferential annular groove in the circumferential direction, and a spring element is accommodated in the annular groove, which projects at least partially into an annular groove introduced into the housing part.

A gas turbine engine comprises a gearbox comprising a sun gear, an annulus gear, a plurality of planet gears and a carrier. Each planet gear is rotatably mounted in the carrier by a bearing. The sun gear meshes with the planet gears and the planet gears mesh with the annulus gear. The sun gear, the planet gears and the annulus gear comprise helical gear teeth. The annulus gear is secured to a surrounding structure by a radially extending member. A face of the flange nearest the middle of the annulus gear is axially spaced from the middle of the annulus gear by a first distance. The reference diameter of the annulus gear is radially spaced from a point at which the radially extending member is secured to the surrounding structure by a second distance. The ratio of first distance to second distance is between and including 0.5 and 1.2 such that misalignment between the annulus gear and the planet gears is reduced to minimise vibrations, noise, stress and wear of the gearbox.

A mobile dispenser may be used to at least partially fill hydrogen tanks of fuel cell-powered vehicles. The dispenser uses a purely mechanical control of the fill using an orifice plate across which a pressure differential is maintained through use of a backpressure regulator whose reference pressure is controlled by a differential pressure regulator. Because it does need or use electrical power, it may be used in situations where no electrical power is available or convenient.

A gear-shifting device is disclosed. The device comprises a first motor having a first rotor. The first rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise, creating a wobbling action. The device further comprises a compound planetary transmission, comprising a transmission ring attached to a ring gear. The compound planetary transmission receives power from the first rotor. The device further comprises a second motor having a second rotor. The second rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise. The device further comprises a shift assembly, comprising a drum, a cap, and a pinion gear. The pinion gear receives power from the second rotor. The drum locks with the pinion gear such that the drum rotates with the pinion gear. The transmission ring is attached to the drum, such that the transmission ring moves laterally as the drum rotates. The ring gear locks and unlocks with the cap as the drum rotates. The wobbling action enables the locking.

An improved internal combustion engine utilizes at least one orbital pin eccentrically offset from an orbital shaft, rotationally linked to the main shaft via an epicyclic gear set, such that the piston and connecting rod, influenced by the force from thermodynamic process, transfers a straight linear force to the orbital epicyclic pin further via the flying crank arm to the main shaft. This results in an extended but mechanically adjustable constant volume combustion period up to 60 with improved piston to crank relationship throughout main conversion angle. The extended dwell duration and new piston to crank relationship at TDC and BDC improve the engine operation as well as its scavenging efficiency and cleanliness.

A ring gear arrangement, including: a ring gear mount including: a ring gear having at least one internal gear for interaction with one or more gear wheels; a ring gear stator; and, a plurality of couplings which locate the ring gear within the gear stator, each coupling having a drive arm connected to the ring gear and a resiliently deformable connection, wherein the drive arm is movable between a first position in which the ring gear is in a rest position and a second position in which the ring gear has undergone some radial or rotational movement relative to the ring gear stator, wherein movement of the drive arm from a the first position to the second position loads the resiliently deformable connection against the ring gear, wherein the resiliently deformable connection biases the drive arm to return to the first position when in the second position.

In a planetary gear device including: a sun gear; a plurality of planet gears; a ring gear; and a tubular support member connected to the ring gear so as to rotate together with the ring gear; an outward flange provided at the ring gear and projecting radially outward and extend over an entire periphery thereof; an wavy inward flange provided at the tubular support member and having a plurality of projection pieces projecting radially inward over an entire periphery thereof, the outward flange and the inward flange are fastened to each other by means of bolts and nuts, and the inward flange has a plurality of recesses formed between the plurality of projection pieces and the plurality of recesses include shallow first recesses and second recesses deeper than the first recesses such that depth of the recesses becomes greater at regular intervals.

A system for coupling at least one ring gear of a gearbox with at least one static part of a geared turbofan engine through a connector device, in particular a ring-like connector device, arranged radially between the at least one ring gear and the at least one static part, with two first torque link devices coupling the ring gear with the connector device, the two first torque link devices being arranged between the ring gear and the connector device, in particular opposite to each other on a first axis; two second torque link devices for coupling the connector device to the at least one static part, the two second torque link devices being arranged between the connector device and the at least one static part, in particular opposite to each other on a second axis.
