A vehicle lubrication system includes a plurality of sensors disposed on the vehicle and configured to sense operational characteristics of the vehicle, a pump disposed on the vehicle and configured to deliver lubricant to a plurality of lubricated regions of the vehicle, and a controller device operatively coupled to the pump. The controller device is configured to receive sensor data corresponding to the operational characteristics of the vehicle sensed by the plurality of sensors, and determine, based on the received sensor data, a lubricant delivery frequency at which lubrication is to be delivered to the plurality of lubricated regions of the vehicle. The controller device is further configured to provide control commands to cause the pump to deliver the lubricant to the plurality of lubricated regions according to the determined lubricant delivery frequency.

An exemplary assembly includes a housing including a flange extending from a perimeter of the housing, a cover including an edge tab extending from a perimeter of the cover, a gear set positioned between the housing and the cover, an alignment member positioned between the flange and the edge tab, the alignment member adjacent to an exterior surface of the gear set, and a ring at least partially encircling the housing, the ring including an anti-rotation member and a securing tab. The edge tab and the alignment member are enclosed by the anti-rotation member to maintain a radial position of the gear set.

Mobile devices emit signals in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular (i.e. 2G, 3G, 4G, Edge, H+, etc.). These signals attempt to connect to paired devices, hotspots, cell towers, or other suitable wireless connection points to greater networks. In order to connect to connect to hotspots mobile devices send out identifying data to establish a connection. Hotspots may unobtrusively collect the identification data of the mobile device, and then reject the connection request. The hotspots collect data in real time on the mobile device, and by association, the human carrying the mobile device without having alerted or impeded the human carrier. The system uses analytical software to determine, for example, an approaching unique ID user's presence, history, frequency of visits, duration of presence and so on.

A hybrid vehicle includes a generator to be driven by an internal combustion engine to generate an electric power. The internal combustion engine is to drive vehicle wheels via a hydraulic clutch. The electric power is to be supplied to an electric motor to drive the vehicle wheels. An oil pump is to be driven by the internal combustion engine to supply oil to the electric motor and the generator and to the hydraulic clutch. A valve is to decrease a first amount of the oil to be supplied to the electric motor and the generator and to increase a second amount of the oil to be supplied to the hydraulic clutch when the hydraulic clutch is in an engaged state. The valve is to increase the first amount of the oil and to decrease the second amount of the oil when the hydraulic clutch is in a disengaged state.

An electric motor, in particular for an oil pump, comprising a rotor and a stator, wherein the stator has through-openings, which are continuous in the axial direction, for screw elements, and comprising a functional support, which is arranged on an end face with respect to the axial direction of the stator and which has a contoured contact section for the stator and screw receiving areas for the screw elements. The screw receiving areas protrude out of the contoured contact section for the stator in the axial direction, and the screw receiving areas are received in the through-openings.

Systems and methods for cooling and delivering oil for an electric vehicle are described. In one example, viscosity of oil and resistance to oil flow of an oil circuit reduce oil flow through a cooling circuit so as to reduce powertrain losses that may be related to oil viscosity. At higher temperatures, the viscosity of oil allows the oil to flow through the cooling circuit and lower a temperature of an electric machine.
