摘要： A starter system is provided for an engine having a stop-start capability. The starter system includes a first gear coupled to the engine, wherein the first gear rotates at a speed of the engine. The starter system also includes a starter arranged relative to the engine. The starter includes a second gear arranged to selectively mesh with and apply torque to the first gear in order to start the engine, such that the second gear is capable of rotating at the speed of the engine. The starter additionally includes a synchronizer arranged to substantially match the speed of the first gear with the speed of the engine prior to engagement of the first and second gears, such that the second gear is enabled to mesh with and apply torque to the first gear to thereby start the engine. The starter system and the engine may be employed in a vehicle.

摘要： A case cover assembly to which a sheave for a continuously variable transmission is mountable for rotation about an axis is configured to provide fluid communication between the sheave and a pressurized fluid source. The case cover assembly includes a conduit defining a first segment of a passageway for providing fluid communication between the pressurized fluid source and the sheave. An inner annular surface and an outer annular surface define an annular second segment of the passageway. A chamber at least partially formed by a case cover member defines a third segment of the passageway. The third segment is positioned with respect to the second segment such that fluid flows radially inward toward the axis from the second segment. The radial inflow provides improved pressure transference and packaging compared to the prior art.

摘要： A dynamically-shiftable multi-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for operative connection to an engine and to an electric motor in a hybrid vehicle includes a first clutch, a second clutch, and a third clutch. The first clutch is configured to transmit torque of the engine and withstand energy of the vehicle at launch from rest. The second clutch is configured to select a first set of forward speed ratios. The third clutch is configured to select a second set of forward speed ratios alternating with the speed ratios of the first set. The second and third clutches are each configured to withstand combined torque of the electric motor and torque of the engine during shifts into the respective set of forward speed ratios, but not to withstand torque of the engine at launch or energy of the vehicle at launch.

摘要： A control system for an engine includes a stop-start initiation module and a load control module. The stop-start initiation module shuts down the engine in response to an engine shutdown request. The load control module, in response to the engine shutdown request, increases a rate at which a rotational speed of the engine decreases during engine shutdown by increasing a rotational load input to the engine by an engine accessory coupled to a crankshaft of the engine. A method for an engine includes shutting down the engine in response to an engine shutdown request. The method further includes increasing, in response to the engine shutdown request, a rate at which a rotational speed of the engine decreases during engine shutdown by increasing a rotational load input to the engine by an engine accessory coupled to a crankshaft of the engine.

摘要： A valve assembly for selectively and variably communicating fluid between an auxiliary sump volume and a main sump volume, each defined by a transmission, is provided. The valve assembly includes a float member operatively connected to a valve member and disposed within the main sump volume of the transmission. The valve member is movable between an open position and a closed position. The float member is configured to be buoyed by the fluid within the main sump volume to move the valve member from the open position toward the closed position thereby variably restricting the flow of the fluid between the auxiliary sump volume and the main sump volume as the amount of the fluid within the main sump volume increases. A transmission incorporating the valve assembly is also disclosed.

摘要： A hybrid module interconnects an engine and a dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The hybrid module includes a first carrier, a second carrier, and a first clutch. The first carrier is operatively connected to the DCT and is rotatable about the axis at a first rotational velocity. The second carrier is operatively connected to the engine and is rotatable about the axis at a second rotational velocity. The first clutch surrounds the axis and operatively interconnects the first carrier and the second carrier. The first clutch overruns such that they rotate independently when the first rotational velocity of the first carrier is less than the second rotational velocity of the second carrier. The first clutch also engages and locks rotation of the carriers when the second rotational velocity is equal to the first rotational velocity such that the second carrier drives the rotation of the first carrier about the axis.
