Abstract: A variable speed transmission having a plurality of tilting balls and opposing input and output discs is illustrated and described that provides an infinite number of speed combinations over its transmission ratio range. The use of a planetary gear set allows minimum speeds to be in reverse and the unique geometry of the transmission allows all of the power paths to be coaxial, thereby reducing overall size and complexity of the transmission in comparison to transmissions achieving similar transmission ratio ranges.

Abstract: A continuously variable planetary gear set is described having a generally tubular idler, a plurality of balls distributed radially about the idler, each ball having a tiltable axis about which it rotates, a rotatable input disc positioned adjacent to the balls and in contact with each of the balls, a rotatable output disc positioned adjacent to the balls opposite the input disc and in contact with each of the balls such that each of the balls makes three-point contact with the input disc, the output disc and the idler, and a rotatable cage adapted to maintain the axial and radial position of each of the balls, wherein the axes of the balls are oriented by the axial position of the idler.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission is disclosed for use in rotationally or linearly powered machines and vehicles. The transmission provides a simple manual shifting method for the user. Further, the practical commercialization of traction roller transmissions requires improvements in the reliability, ease of shifting, function and simplicity of the transmission. The present invention includes a continuously variable transmission that may be employed in connection with any type of machine that is in need of a transmission. For example, the transmission may be used in (i) a motorized vehicle such as an automobile, motorcycle, or watercraft, (ii) a non-motorized vehicle such as a bicycle, tricycle, scooter, exercise equipment or (iii) industrial equipment, such as a drill press, power generating equipment, or textile mill.

Abstract: A protective ground mat having a non-rigid base, a plurality of hold-downs that are coupled to the base, and a plurality of tensioners. Each tensioner has a first portion and a second portion that may be selectively coupled to the first portion to adjust a distance between an associated pair of the hold-downs. The tensioners permit the protective ground mat to be tightened against the ground during installation.

Abstract: A training system uses a mechanical mock-up with electrically conductive probe points connected to electronically readable memories, and a simulated diagnostic tool to interface with a system or machine simulation for the purpose of operation, maintenance or procedure training. When a probe of a simulated diagnostic tool comes into contact with a probe point of the mechanical mock-up, the electronically readable memory supplies a unique identifier code that is communicated by the simulated diagnostic tool to the simulation to indicate the contact of the probe with the corresponding probe point. Complex wiring connections between the mechanical mock-up and a computer that runs the simulation are eliminated and construction of the training system is significantly simplified.
