    Abstract: A method is provided for estimating input torque and output torque in a continuously variable transmission having a variator. The method comprising the steps of determining (202) a transmission input and/or output speed, calculating (204) the speed of each of a plurality of transmission components by reflecting the transmission input and/or output speed through the transmission to each of the plurality of transmission components, and calculating (208) the speed rate of change of each of the plurality of transmission components. The inertia torque of each of the plurality of transmission components is calculated (210) based upon its respective speed rate of change and a predetermined component inertia value (209). The method further comprises the steps of determining (211) a motor torque of the variator, and calculating (212) a transmission input torque and transmission output torque by reflecting the motor torque of the variator through the transmission to the transmission input and output. The calculated transmission input and output torque values are adjusted (214) to account for the calculated inertia torque values of those of the plurality of transmission components which lie between the variator and the transmission input, and the variator and the transmission output, respectively.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mixing pump (10) for combining two or more substances. More specifically, the mixing pump (10) is adapted to combine controlled amounts of those substances so as to produce a mixture containing predetermined proportions of those substances. The mixing pump includes a chamber (23) lying in fluid communication with a first substance inlet (50), a second substance inlet (51) and a mixture outlet (52). The mixing pump (10) also includes a pumping member disposed in the chamber (23) and adapted to draw first and second substances from the first and second substance inlets (50,51) and to expel a mixture of those substances through the mixture outlet (52).

    Abstract: A method of controlling a valve assembly includes calculating, by a controller of the valve assembly, one or more electrical signals to move a valve element of the valve assembly dependent on an actual and a desired position of the valve element. The method also includes sending, by the controller, the one or more electrical signals to an electrical actuator of the valve assembly. The method further includes detecting a valve fault condition defined as the actual position of the valve element failing to match the desired position of the valve element after a configurable period has elapsed. When the valve fault condition is detected, the method includes substituting the data corresponding to the desired position of the valve element with pulses of waveform data which oscillate about a value corresponding to the desired position of the valve element until either of two predetermined conditions is met.
