A gearshift lock for a gearbox includes a gearshift cylinder and a pawl wheel with a toothing. The gearshift lock includes a rotatably positioned pawl, and the pawl engages in the toothing of the pawl wheel in a locked position, and is disengaged from the pawl wheel in a freewheeling position. The pawl is pretensioned by a spring element in the direction of the locked position, and an engagement element is connected to the pawl. The engagement element holds the pawl in the freewheeling position by directly interacting with the gearshift cylinder against the effect of the spring element when the gearshift cylinder takes up a rotational position in a freewheeling rotational range, and the pawl can be released from the gearshift cylinder into a locked position by the engagement element when the gearshift cylinder takes up a rotational position in a locked rotational range.

A drive device is configured to drive a drive part. The drive device includes a fluid coupling, an electric motor, and a human-powered drive unit. The electric motor is configured to drive the drive part through the fluid coupling. The human-powered drive unit is configured to drive the drive part through the fluid coupling.

Systems and methods for evaluating ND are described herein. An example method can include constructing a non-sequential (NSC) ray-tracing model of an eye with an ophthalmic lens, and modelling a light source and a detector. The detector can be configured to mimic a retina of the eye. The method can also include computing irradiance data using the light source, the NSC ray-tracing model, and the detector. Irradiance data can be computed for each of a plurality of pupil sizes. The method can further include evaluating ND by analyzing the respective irradiance data for each of the pupil sizes. Also described herein are methods for designing an ophthalmic lens edge that reduces the incidence of ND for a given ophthalmic lens by adjusting the edge thickness and/or the scatter.

A motor is to be mounted on a vehicle as a drive source. The motor includes a motor shaft extending in an axial direction, a drive gear provided on the motor shaft, a gear shaft extending in the axial direction, a driven gear provided on the gear shaft and coupled to the drive gear, a rotating member, an inner bearing that supports the gear shaft, and an outer bearing that supports the gear shaft. The rotating member is provided on the gear shaft and is configured to be coupled to a power transmission member that transmits power to a wheel of the vehicle. The rotating member is located between the inner bearing and the outer bearing in the axial direction.

A coupling arrangement for coupling members as a gear change coupling in a gear mechanism unit includes a first member and a second member. The first member has a coupling toothing system. At least one locking body arrangement is mounted pivotably on the second member. The locking body arrangement can be pivoted into a coupling position, in the case of which a driving section on the locking body arrangement engages into the coupling toothing system. The locking body arrangement can be pivoted into a release position, in the case of which the driving section of the locking body arrangement does not engage into the coupling toothing system. The locking body arrangement has a locking body carrier which is mounted pivotably on the second member, and has a locking body member which is mounted pivotably on the locking body carrier and on which the driving section is configured.

A vehicle may include a pedal assembly, a motor assembly, and a drive unit that may be used to allow selective usage of one or both of the pedal assembly and the motor assembly to convey power to a driven wheel of the vehicle. The drive unit can include a gearbox that may enclose components which form at least part of a first power path between the pedal assembly and the driven wheel and a second power path between the motor assembly and the driven wheel. The first and second power paths can converge at a component within the gearbox. One-way bearings at points in the first and second power paths prior to the convergence of the power paths can inhibit or prevent the pedal assembly from being affected by operation of the motor assembly, and vice versa.

A transmission structure of electric clutchless motorcycle includes an electric motor, a variable speed gear set, a variable speed gear box and a gear position sensing unit. The arrangement of the gear position sensing unit is so configured that the transmission structure of electric clutchless motorcycle mechanism not only maintains the inertial energy recharge of the electric motor to increase the endurance of the vehicle, but also allows the driver to accurately control the speed control knob when switching gears, and furthermore can increase the automatic gear shift function of the electric gear shift design.

A control device of a gear transmission-equipped vehicle includes a power controller that starts power reduction control when it is determined that a start condition is satisfied, the power reduction control being control of reducing power transmitted from a driving source to a gear transmission. The start condition includes: a condition that a detection value of a gear position sensor that detects a current gear position of the gear transmission falls within a transition region between engagement regions corresponding to respective gear positions; and a condition that a speed difference obtained by subtracting a rotational speed of an output shaft of the gear transmission from a rotational speed of an input shaft of the gear transmission is a threshold or more.
