Outer contact surface element of a one-way clutch, one-way clutch including the contact surface element, and method for installing a one-way clutch
An outer contact surface element of a one-way clutch is configured to contact at least one clamping body of the one-way clutch when an inner ring of the one-way clutch rotates in a first direction. The outer contact surface element includes a hollow-cylindrical section, and at least one radially outwardly projecting lug. The outer contact surface element may also include features for connecting the outer contact surface element to a support bearing.

Pump with residual magnetism attenuation
A pump includes a stator and a rotor axially between a fluid inlet section and a fluid outlet section. The stator includes a plurality of radially inwardly extending legs; and a plurality of electrical windings disposed about the radially inwardly extending legs. The attenuating circuit includes a capacitor electrically wired in parallel with each winding and at least one switch electrically connected to the capacitor. During energization of the electrical winding, the switch electrically connects the capacitor to an electrical ground and the electrical power source creates a voltage in the capacitor. Following a de-energization of the plurality of electrical windings, the switch isolates the capacitor from the electrical ground and the capacitor discharges the voltage through the electrical winding, creating a decaying oscillating current that attenuates residual magnetization in the winding.

DEMAGNETIZATION CONTROL FOR TRANSMISSION ACTUATOR
A transmission actuator for a vehicle includes a housing, a first rocker for engaging a toothed wheel, a second rocker for rotating the first rocker to engage the toothed wheel, an engagement rod for rotating the second rocker, a solenoid arranged to displace the engagement rod, and a solenoid control circuit. The solenoid includes an iron core, a wire coil wrapped around the iron core, and a ferromagnetic plunger. The plunger is arranged to linearly displace in a first direction when a first directional current is applied to the wire coil, and linearly displace in a second direction when a second directional current is applied to the wire coil. The solenoid control circuit is arranged supply the first directional current when energized by a power source, and supply a decaying alternating current that includes the first directional current and the second directional current when the solenoid control circuit is de-energized.
