A system for estimating torque in a locked vehicle system may include a locking mechanism comprising a stiff material. The system may further include a controller configured to estimate an amount of torque in the locked vehicle system based on a deformation of the stiff material.

A portable storage device to contain fuel. The device is designed to be relatively light-weight to allow for movement around a fueling facility, and to be delivered to the fueling facility through the air. The device includes a number of separate tanks each configured to contain fuel. A suspension protects the tanks by absorbing external forces that could occur in the event the device is dropped during air delivery.

A first end portion of a worm shaft and a first bearing that supports the first end portion are housed in a first end housing portion in a housing. The first end portion is urged toward a worm wheel by an urging member. A rotation regulation portion housing recess is formed in a portion that defines the first end housing portion on an inner surface of the housing. An elastic member includes an arc-shaped buffer portion that is interposed between the portion that defines the inner surface and an outer peripheral surface of the first bearing, and a rotation regulation portion that extends from the buffer portion and is housed in the rotation regulation portion housing recess. The rotation regulation portion includes a hollow portion which suppresses load transmission from the rotation regulation portion to the buffer portion during rotation regulation.

The present discrete relate to an automobile steering apparatus and, more specifically, to an automobile steering apparatus that is capable of preventing or reducing the consumption of engine power and reducing the number of components, and further capable of enhancing convenience for drivers by using functions for controlling the automobile, such as automatic parking, lane keeping, driving assistance according to road conditions, steering vibration attenuation, autonomous driving control, and the like, and in turn, is advantageous to the strength of worm wheels by causing pressure applied thereto to be distributed and provides drivers with enhanced steering feel.

A utility vehicle steering system has a steering gear for transmitting a manual torque that is applied to a steering wheel to a pitman arm. The steering gear has an electric motor for providing an auxiliary torque. The electric motor is arranged around a steering shaft. In addition, the electric motor has a stator with at least two electrically separated winding groups, each of which is controlled by a separate electronic control device. An especially compact utility vehicle steering system results, which enables the provision of large auxiliary torques by way of a single electric-motor drive while a limited installation space is achieved. The drive can be operated from a vehicle electrical system by a supply voltage of 24 V.
