The torque transmission shaft has a shaft having a hollow tubular shape and a clamp. The shaft has a connecting portion integral with the shaft at one axial end portion, a slit extending in the axial direction in a portion on the other axial end side and opens on the other side in the axial direction, and a female serration on the inner circumferential surface of the other axial end portion. The clamp is separate from the shaft and has a non-continuous portion at one location in the circumferential direction, a pair of flange portions on both sides of the non-continuous portion, and a connecting portion connecting the pair of flange portions in the circumferential direction. The clamp is externally fitted and fixed to the other axial end portion of the shaft and reduces the diameter of the other axial end side portion of the shaft.

A multi-directional smooth damper includes a base including an inner cavity, two ends of the inner cavity defining openings, a first rotating portion, and a second rotating portion. A first end of the first rotating portion is rotated and disposed in the inner cavity of the base and a shape of the first end of the first rotating portion corresponds to a shape of the inner cavity. A second end of the first rotating portion passes through an opening of one end of the base. The first rotating portion is disposed at one end of the base having the opening and the inner cavity. A first end of the second rotating portion is rotated and disposed in an inner cavity of the first rotating portion. A grease layer is coated between a surface of the first rotating portion and the surface of the inner cavity of the base.

A steering mechanism of an all-terrain vehicle includes: a steering shaft; a power steering system; and an adjusting mechanism including a ball joint, a first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft. The first connecting shaft has a first end provided with a first ball groove, the second connecting shaft has a first end provided with a second ball groove, and the first ball groove and the second ball groove each accommodate a partial structure of the ball joint, such that the first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft are rotatably coupled by the ball joint; and a second end of the first connecting shaft away from the first ball groove is coupled to the steering shaft, and a second end of the second connecting shaft away from the second ball groove is coupled to the power steering system. An all-terrain vehicle is also disclosed.

A universal joint configured to transfer rotational movement from a first shaft to a second shaft at an angle and method of manufacturing the same.

A system or a kit of multiple composite driveshaft assemblies for vehicles is provided, with the with the different composite driveshaft assemblies having different performance characteristics. The different performance characteristics of the composite driveshaft assemblies may be achieved by varying, for example, filament material(s), filament winding depth(s), and filament wind angle(s).

A novel transgenic corn event designated 5307, is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in the 5307 event. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of event 5307, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype of and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the event 5307 genotype with itself or another corn variety.
