Oil scoop with integrated sensor
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a shaft of an engine of an aircraft, an oil scoop coupled to the shaft, a first portion of a sensor integrated with the oil scoop, and a second portion of the sensor coupled to a structure of the engine. In some embodiments, the first portion of the sensor comprises at least one tooth.
CASE FOR ENDLESS TRANSMISSION MEMBER
A case for an endless transmission member includes a first case member attached to a vehicle-mounted internal combustion engine and a second case member attached to the first case member. The first and second case members define an accommodation chamber that accommodates an endless transmission member looped over rotating bodies of the engine. The first case member includes a communication hole that connects the accommodation chamber to the inside of the engine. The first or second case member includes a guide rib that guides lubricant from the accommodation chamber to the inside of the engine. In an orientation of the case when the engine is installed in a vehicle, the guide rib is provided along part of the lower side of the opening edge of the communication hole including the lower end of the opening edge.
AXLE ASSEMBLY
An axle assembly including a disconnect assembly and an integrated fluid flow system. The disconnect assembly including an axially movable clutch member in selective engagement with at least one shaft to permit a rotation thereof. The fluid flow system includes a fluid flow member and a plurality of fluid passageways to permit a flow of a fluid (e.g. a lubricant) from a fluid source (e.g. a fluid sump of the axle assembly) to various components disposed within a carrier housing of the axle assembly and a return of the fluid back to the fluid source.

Image forming device
As a lubricant present between a transfer belt for transferring a print sheet and a platen plate on a rear side thereof and bringing the both into close contact, a lubricant containing 70 weight % or more of a fatty acid ester solvent with carbon number in a molecule of 20 or more and 34 or less is used so as to reduce sliding between the transfer belt and the platen plate and sliding resistance generated between the transfer belt for transferring the print sheet and an auxiliary plate arranged along this.
