Hydraulic arrangement for a vehicle transmission
A hydraulic arrangement for a vehicle transmission includes a hydraulic pump for providing a system pressure for a first hydraulic system circuit and a lubrication pressure for a second hydraulic lubrication circuit. The arrangement also includes a control valve connected between a pump outlet of the pump and the two hydraulic circuits and has two different switching positions. The control valve, depending on its switching position, acts as a hydraulic connection between the pump and the system circuit or between the pump and the lubrication circuit.

Instrument reprocessor and instrument reprocessing methods
An instrument reprocessor for cleaning, disinfecting, and/or sterilizing a medical instrument is disclosed. To reprocess instruments having one or more channels defined therein, the reprocessor can include one or more flow control systems configured to control a flow of fluid through each channel. In various embodiments, a flow control system can include a differential pressure sensor and a proportional valve for controlling the fluid flow in a channel. The reprocessor can also include, one, a fluid circulation pump which can be configured to supply the flow control systems with fluid and, two, a system for controlling the pressure of the fluid supplied to the flow control systems. The reprocessor can also include a system for supplying a metered amount of fluid to the fluid circulation system. The system can include a reservoir having a fluid height sensor to monitor the amount of fluid therein and a pump configured to supply the reservoir with fluid.
