An exemplary passive oil system includes a reservoir housing configured in operation to rotate around a rotational axis, the reservoir housing defining a reservoir between a top wall, a bottom wall, innermost side, and an outer sidewall; and an outlet positioned adjacent the outer sidewall to discharge a lubrication fluid contained in the reservoir in response to the reservoir housing rotating around the rotational axis.

The invention relates to a lubrication system and a-method for controlling the lubrication system. The lubrication system comprises a bypass line by which it is possible to lead a part of the oil flow in the oil line past a component to be lubricated and back to the oil sump, a first valve configured to regulate the oil flow through the bypass line and a control unit. The control unit is configured to receive information from at least one parameter related to the oil flow to said component to estimate a required oil flow to said component in view of said parameter and to regulate the first valve such that a part of the oil flow in the oil line is led to the bypass line and that a remaining part of the oil flow, which corresponds to the required oil flow, is led to said component.

Disclosed is a hydraulic pressure supply system of a dual clutch transmission for a vehicle in which by independently configuring a low pressure supply route and a high pressure supply route, the hydraulic pressure supply system can enable a low hydraulic pressure that is generated in a hydraulic pump for a low pressure to be supplied to a gear lubrication device and a clutch cooling/lubrication device and enable a low hydraulic pressure that is generated in a hydraulic pump for a high pressure to be supplied to a gear control device and a clutch control device.

An apparatus includes a case, a motor, a gear mechanism, a lubrication mechanism, and a cooling mechanism. The motor and the gear mechanism are housed in the case. The gear mechanism includes a specified gear and a first gear. A vertical lower section of the first gear is positioned above a surface of the oil. The lubrication mechanism lubricates the gear mechanism by the oil thrown up by the specified gear. The cooling mechanism includes an oil pump and a pipe. The oil pump and the pipe supply the oil reserved in the case to the motor. The pipe is located above the first gear. The pipe has a hole, and the oil discharged from the hole. The hole is positioned above the first gear. A normal line direction of the hole differs from a vertically downward direction. The first gear does not overlap the normal line direction.

In a vehicle drive apparatus, a drive gear which engages with a gear provided on the counter shaft is provided on the input shaft relatively rotatably to the input shaft, and the vehicle drive apparatus comprises a switching mechanism including an actuator and a connection/disconnection sleeve which is driven by the actuator in a direction of the first rotation axis and which selectively switches between a first state in which the drive gear is connected to the input shaft and disconnected from a non-rotating member and a second state in which the drive gear is disconnected from the input shaft and connected to the non-rotating member.

The lubricating device for a transmission includes a first gear wheel at one of the front side and the rear side of a power transmission shaft, a second gear wheel at the other side of the power transmission shaft at a position different from the first gear wheel and an oil separator disposed below the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel extending in front-rear direction of the power transmission shaft and having an inner wall. The oil separator is provided with a descending sloped fluid passage which is provided on the inner wall of the oil separator so as to be sloped downward toward the one side of the power transmission shaft from the other side of the power transmission shaft receives lubricating oil scooped up by the second gear wheel and allows the lubricating oil to flow into a first gear wheel cover portion.

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.

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.

The oil receiver includes a capture portion which captures oil and leads the oil to a gutter portion. The capture portion includes a first lower eave portion which is formed in a plate shape extending upward as it goes in a first width direction, a first upper eave portion formed in a plate shape extending upward as it goes in the first width direction and is formed so that one end of a second width direction side is separated from the first lower eave portion inside a vertical range above an upper surface of the first lower eave portion, the second width direction being a direction opposite to the first width direction, and a first connection portion which connects a part of an end of the second width direction side of the first upper eave portion to a part of the upper surface of the first lower eave portion.

A lubricating device for lubricating components includes first and second lubricant guide plates which have respective inclination angles with respect to a horizontal line such that the angle of inclination of the first lubricant guide plate is smaller than that of the second lubricant guide plate. The inclination angle of the first lubricant guide plate is determined to permit the lubricant oil guided by the first lubricant guide plate to be directed into the catcher reservoir, and to inhibit the lubricant oil from being supplied to component or components disposed above the gear, and the inclination angle of the second lubricant guide plate is determined to permit the lubricant oil guided by the second lubricant guide plate to be supplied to the component or components disposed above the gear.
