A transmission may include an input shaft, a first output shaft, a second output shaft, a first planetary gearset, and a second planetary gearset connected to the first planetary gearset, where the planetary gearsets each comprise numerous elements. The input shaft, the two output shafts, the planetary gearsets, and their elements may be arranged and designed such that a torque input via the input shaft is converted and distributed in a defined ratio to the two output shafts, and the formation of a combined torque is prevented. At least a third element of the first planetary gearset may be connected to a first element of the second planetary gearset via a shaft for conjoint rotation.

A powertrain for a hybrid vehicle includes: a complex planetary gear set including a first rotary element, a second rotary element, a third rotary element, and a fourth rotary element; an input shaft connected with an engine and installed to be able to be selectively connected to each of the first rotary element and the second rotary element of the complex planetary gear set; a motor generator connected to the first rotary element of the complex planetary gear set; a first brake installed to be able to fixedly connect the second rotary element of the complex planetary gear set to a transmission case; a second brake installed to be able to fixedly connect the third rotary element of the complex planetary gear set to the transmission case; and an output shaft connected to the fourth rotary element of the complex planetary gear set.

A drive assembly for a work vehicle includes a drive housing, a drive shaft rotatable about a drive axis, an inner hub rotationally fixed to the drive shaft, and a planetary gear set coupled to the drive shaft and configured to selectively rotate an output element. The drive assembly also includes a clutch arrangement having a clutch ring configured to selectively engage the planetary gear set. The clutch arrangement further includes a guide assembly mounted on the clutch ring and configured to selectively interact with the planetary gear set to effect disengagement of the clutch ring from the planetary gear set. A clutch actuation assembly is configured to effect movement of the clutch arrangement along the drive axis to engage the planetary gear set, and a guide actuation assembly is configured to operate the guide assembly to interact with the planetary gear set.

A powertrain apparatus includes a motor connected to an input shaft, a first planetary gear train, which is disposed to be coaxial with the motor and which includes a first rotation element, a second rotation element, and a third rotation element, a second planetary gear train, which is disposed to be coaxial with the first planetary gear train and which includes a fourth rotation element, a fifth rotation element, a sixth rotation element, and a step pinion, and a differential gear, which is disposed to be coaxial with the second planetary gear train.

A pipette calibration and volume offset mechanism. The calibration and volume offset mechanism is provided to facilitate user selectable calibration or volume offset operations of a pipette to which the calibration and volume offset mechanism is installed, through axial displacement of a threaded element that effectively moves the home position of the pipette. An offset counter of the calibration and volume offset mechanism is rotationally coupled to the threaded element during a volume offset operation to indicate offset magnitude, but decoupled from threaded element during a calibration or recalibration operation.

A transmission may include an input shaft, a first output shaft, a second output shaft, a first planetary gearset, and a second planetary gearset connected to the first planetary gearset. The input shaft, the first and second output shafts, and the planetary gearsets may be arranged such that a torque input via the input shaft is converted and distributed in a defined ratio to the two output shafts, and the formation of a combined torque is prevented. At least one element of the first planetary gearset may be connected to at least one element of the second planetary gearset with a shaft for conjoint rotation, and at least one element of the second planetary gearset may be fixed in place on a non-rotating component. A connector may be arranged and configured to passively, and therefore without a control unit and without an actuator, connect the first output shaft and second output shaft.

A powertrain apparatus for an electric vehicle may include a motor connected to an input shaft, a planetary gear train, which is disposed to be coaxial with the motor and which includes a first rotation element, a second rotation element and a third rotation element, at least one of which is configured to receive power from the input shaft, a differential gear disposed to be coaxial with the motor and the planetary gear train, a first gear set connected to one rotation element of the planetary gear train, and a second gear set configured to receive power from the first gear set and transmit the power to the differential gear.
