DRIVELINE COMPONENT HAVING DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY WITH DIFFERENTIAL GEARSET CONFIGURED TO LIMIT INBOARD THRUST OF SIDE GEARS
A driveline component with a differential having a differential gearset mounted in a differential case. The differential gearset has first and second side gears and one or more pinion gears that are meshed with the first and second side gears. The differential gearset is configured to limit inboard thrusting of the first and second side gears so that backlash will be always be present between the pinion gears and each of first and second side gears.

DRIVE SYSTEM FOR INTERMITTENT ROTATION OUTPUT
An intermittent drive system includes a rotatable output component, a rotating input component with a driving engagement element, a synchronizing ring and a decoupling ring. The synchronizing ring is coupled to the output element to rotate therewith. The synchronizing ring has a driven engagement element configured to selectively engage with the driving engagement element. The synchronizing ring has an alignment feature configured to rotationally align the driving engagement element with the driven engagement element and has a decoupling feature configured to selectively disengage the driving engagement element from the driven engagement element. The decoupling ring is selectively coupled to the input component and has a decoupling feature configured to selectively engage the decoupling feature of the synchronizing ring. The driving engagement element engages the driven engagement element only when both the alignment feature is rotationally oriented to align the driving engagement element with the driven engagement element and the decoupling features are rotationally oriented to allow the driving engagement element to engage the driven engagement element.

COMPACT ACCESSORY SYSTEMS FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
An accessory system for a gas turbine engine having a driveshaft with an axis of rotation is provided. The system includes a towershaft coupled to the driveshaft and rotatable about a towershaft axis of rotation. The towershaft includes a towershaft bevel gear. The system includes a primary shaft including a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear that each revolve about a primary shaft axis of rotation. The first bevel gear is coupled to the towershaft bevel gear. The system includes a secondary shaft including a third bevel gear and a fourth bevel gear that each revolve about a secondary shaft axis of rotation. The third bevel gear is coupled to the second bevel gear. The system includes a tertiary shaft including a fifth bevel gear that revolves about a tertiary shaft axis of rotation. The fifth bevel gear is coupled to the fourth bevel gear.
Infinitely variable transmission embodied in a semi planetary configuration
An infinitely variable transmission capable of shifting from infinity to zero speed ratios in forward and reverse is provided. The transmission offers reciprocal blocking and supports high torque and power, while requiring a fixed number of planetary gears and a hydraulic flow control, without brakes and/or clutch by varying the angular displacement or rotational movement separating the contained vectors (speed and torque) to exploit, in a reciprocal manner, the working flow by maintaining the full potential of the movement force source without a continuity flow break-up.

Manually adjustable laboratory device
The laboratory device includes an elongated handle with ergonomic grips. The device has a center recess for a rod to slide or rotate. The blade head attaches at the distal end of the elongated handle. The rod has geared teeth that interact and mesh with the gears on the blade head allowing the user to manipulate the angle of the blade head via rod. The rod in the proximal position of the handle is disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle such that the blade head and handle are positioned for insertion into and removal of a tissue culture vessel. When the rod is moved distally or rotated the blade head position is disposed perpendicularly, acute or obtusely in relationship to the longitudinal axes of the handle such that the blade head provides optimal raking opportunities for the device to collect cell colonies.
