Systems for a differential are provided. The differential includes two sets of pinion gears with an asymmetric split tooth profile. A case of the differential includes a plurality of lubrication ports which open adjacent to untoothed sections of one set of pinion gears and in a drive mode and an outboard axial load is exerted on the corresponding set of pinion gears.

A compact drive unit is predominantly intended for traction vehicles, especially for rail vehicles. This invention allows significant reduction of volume and weight of drive units. The drive unit comprises high-speed electrical motor (1) with passive cooling, which is supplied by power electronics converter (2), whose rotor is supported by bearings (3) along with pinion gear (4) of the input spur/helical gear (5). The output shaft (6) of the gear (5) is a part of the next following gear (7). Output shaft of this gear (7) can be connected either directly or by using the coupling (12) to the axle (8) of the traction vehicle, or to the wheel (9). Alternatively, in case the higher transmission ratio is required, it can be connected to another gears (10), where the output shaft of the gears (10) is connected to the wheel (9), or to the axle (8) of the traction vehicle directly or by using the coupling (12). The drive unit can be equipped with brake (13).

Provided is a power transmission apparatus including pulley having an outer circumferential surface forming a predetermined angle; a power transmission member that is provided to surround the driving shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the pulley and transmits a rotational force of the driving shaft; and a driven part provided outward in a radial direction of the pulley and forming a pair of catching ends respectively surrounding the power transmission member in a direction opposite to each other. The power transmission apparatus may increase spatial efficiency and form a high gear ratio by reducing an overall profile by the pulley that rotates with the driven shaft in parallel using a belt or a wire, and a block and tackle or a half-moon member provided outside the pulley.

Technologies pertaining to a rotary electrical contact device are described herein. A rotary electrical contact device comprises a first sheave that is disposed about a first axis and a second sheave that rotates about the first axis or a second axis that is parallel to the first axis. The device further includes two planetary sheaves that revolve around the first and second sheaves, and a belt that makes contact with each of the sheaves, the belt comprising a co-wound inner helical coil and outer helical coil. As the first sheave rotates, the planetary sheaves revolve about the first and second sheaves and cause the belt to deform and roll along the second sheave. The belt makes rolling contact with the four sheaves. The belt is electrically conductive such that as the belt rolls along the sheaves, the belt maintains electrical contact between the first sheave and the second sheave.

An internal combustion engine includes: a crankshaft supported via a bearing; a balancer drive gear; a balancer shaft; and a one-way clutch mechanism that transmits to the crankshaft a drive force to start the internal combustion engine. In the internal combustion engine, the bearing includes an oil seal built therein, the oil seal sealing a crank chamber of the crankcase. The one-way clutch mechanism includes a case fixed to the crankshaft and a starter driven gear provided relatively rotatably with respect to the case and driven by the drive force. The starter driven gear includes a thrust bearing portion that abuts on the balancer drive gear in an axial direction of the crankshaft.

A frame includes a rib. The frame also includes a crosshead tube that is integral with the rib. The frame also includes a lube rail that is integral with the rib, the crosshead tube, or both. The frame also includes a nose plate that is integral with the rib, the crosshead tube, the lube rail, or a combination thereof.

A control arm for a robotic surgical system includes a base, a swivel member, a vertical member, a horizontal member, and a drive mechanism. The swivel member is rotatably supported on the base about a first axis of rotation. The vertical member is pivotally supported on the swivel member about a second axis of rotation. The horizontal member is pivotally supported by the vertical member about a third axis of rotation. The drive mechanism is disposed on the base and is configured to independently rotate the swivel member about the first axis of rotation, to pivot the vertical member about the second axis of rotation, and to pivot the horizontal member about the third axis of rotation.

A seat impact energy absorbing system having an energy absorbing module that manages forces emanating from, for example, a land mine detonation. The module has frustoconical structures joined by hollow interconnecting ribs that create support pillars there between. At least some of the support pillars have tops that underlie an occupant-supporting surface. To receive forces associated with detonation, an impact-receiving surface underlies the energy absorbing module.

Provided are a connecting module and a motion assistance apparatus including the same, the connecting module including a case provided to incline downward from a space recessed between a waist and a hip of a user to a hip joint of the user, a power transmitting assembly disposed in an internal portion of the case, and a supporting module connecting portion disposed at an output terminal of the power transmitting assembly and to be fastened with a supporting module that supports a leg of the user.
