SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH OUTPUT TRANSMISSION
A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets controls the shift actuator with actuating and opposing pulses, and interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.
SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH OUTPUT TRANSMISSION
A transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft selectively accepting a torque input from a prime mover, and the output shaft selectively providing torque output to a driveline. A controller determines a shaft displacement angle representing an angle value of rotational displacement difference between at least two shafts of the transmission, and performs a transmission operation responsive to the shaft displacement angle.

Two-wheeled vehicle
A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end, a front ground-engaging member, a rear ground-engaging member, a front fender coupled to the front end of the frame assembly, a rear fender coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly, and at least one saddle bag supported by the rear end of the frame assembly. The at least one saddle bag has a front end, a rear flap generally opposite the front end, an inner side wall coupled to the front end, and an outer side wall generally opposite the inner side wall and coupled to the front end and the rear flap to define an internal cargo portion of the at least one saddle bag. The rear flap defines a rear portion of the internal cargo portion.
DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LUBRICATING HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
The present invention discloses a dual-clutch automatic transmission cooling and lubrication hydraulic control system and a vehicle. The dual-clutch automatic transmission cooling and lubrication hydraulic control system comprises a clutch lubrication control valve whose outlet end is connected with a clutch lubricating oil circuit, a gear lubrication control valve whose outlet end is connected with a gear and bearing lubricating oil circuit, the inlet end of the gear lubrication control valve being connected with the inlet end of the clutch lubrication control valve in parallel at the first common end, further comprises a mechanical pump and an electronic pump whose inlet ends are connected to an oil tank respectively. The outlet end of the mechanical pump and the outlet end of the electronic pump are connected in the second common end in parallel, and a cooler disposed between the first common end and the second common end. The dual-clutch automatic transmission cooling and lubrication hydraulic control system disclosed herein have a variety of working modes, reducing the defects such as large displacement of the mechanical pump when working alone.
Vehicle transmission
A vehicle transmission includes a plurality of clutches, a shaft, and a pressure relief valve. The plurality of clutches each define a balance dam chamber. The shaft partially defines a pressurized fluid circuit that includes each balance dam chamber. The shaft also defines an outlet. The pressure relief valve is disposed within the shaft between the pressurized fluid circuit and the outlet. The pressure relief valve is configured to open at a threshold pressure of the fluid circuit, wherein the threshold pressure decreases as rotational speed of the shaft increases.
Automotive transmission with heat exchanger bypass cartridge
A transmission capable of being assembled as a coolerless transmission and a transmission having an oil cooler includes a housing and a lubrication system. The oil passage system includes an oil passage having an oil outlet opening extending out of the housing and an oil inlet opening extending into the housing. A bypass flow passage is disposed in the housing in communication with the oil outlet opening and the oil inlet opening. In a coolerless configuration a pair of plugs are inserted in the oil outlet opening and the oil inlet opening, respectively, to close off the oil outlet opening and the oil inlet opening so that oil flows from the oil outlet opening to the oil inlet opening through the bypass flow passage. In a transmission configuration having an oil cooler, an exterior oil cooler is connected to the oil outlet opening and the oil inlet opening.

Systems and Methods For Content Delivery Acceleration of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Web Pages
Among other things, this document describes systems, devices, and methods for improving the delivery and performance of web pages authored to produce virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) experiences. In some embodiments, such web pages are analyzed. This analysis may be initiated at the request of a content server that receives a client request for the HTML. The analysis may involve, asynchronous to the client request, loading the the page into a non-user-facing browser environment and allowing the VR or AR scene to execute, even including executing animation routines for a predetermined period of time. Certain characteristics of the scene and of objects are thereby captured. Based on this information, an object list ordered by loading priority is prepared. Consulting this information in response to subsequent requests for the page, a content server can implement server push, early hints and/or other delivery enhancements.
