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. A controller controls the shift actuator utilizing an actuating pulse and an opposing pulse.

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. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift control circuit operates a shift actuator using a first opposing pulse command and a first actuating pulse command, and releases pressure with shift actuating and opposing volumes of the shift actuator upon determining a shift completion event.

Drive device, vehicle, and control method for drive device

An electronic control unit is configured to generate a pulse width modulation signal of a plurality of switching elements based on a modulation factor and a voltage phase of a voltage based on a torque command of a motor and a pulse number per unit cycle of an electric angle of the motor and perform switching of the switching elements. The electronic control unit is configured to generate the pulse width modulation signal of the switching elements such that total loss of the motor and an inverter when a heat conversion request of drive electric power of the motor has been issued becomes greater than the total loss when the heat conversion request has not been issued.
