摘要:
A modular hybrid transmission configurable between a 9-speed configuration and an 8-speed configuration includes first, second, third, and fourth planetary gear sets each having first, second, and third elements. Seven torque transmitting devices are each selectively engageable to interconnect one of the first, second, and third elements of one of the planetary gear sets directly with (i) one of the first, second, and third elements of another one of the planetary gear sets, (ii) a housing, or (iii) an input member. The seven torque transmitting devices are selectively engageable to establish nine forward speed ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio. Upon removal of a fourth torque transmitting device, the transmission is arranged in the 8-speed configuration and the remaining six torque transmitting devices are selectively engageable to establish eight forward speed ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio.

A power-take off (PTO) system for a vehicle having a powertrain comprising an engine and a hybrid electric transmission includes a PTO device configured to provide power to an accessory load of the vehicle, a housing for a gear clutch of the transmission, the housing being formed of steel, needle bearings for the gear clutch, and a gear defined by or attached to an outer surface of the housing, wherein at least one electric motor of the transmission is configured to drive the PTO device via the gear clutch and the gear while the engine is disconnected from the transmission or is shut off.
摘要:
A composite cover for a portion of a motor vehicle transmission has an integral, internal heat sink to which an electronic controller is attached. The cover, which may be fabricated of any temperature appropriate plastic or composite, closes off and protects that portion of a motor vehicle transmission having electrical and electronic components such as valves, solenoids, motors and sensors. Spaced from the inside surface of the cover where it is subjected on both sides to flow of transmission fluid is a plate or heat sink. An electronic controller is disposed on the outside of the cover and attached by heat transferring mechanical fasteners such as studs or bolts to the plate inside the cover. Preferably, the housing of the controller also includes a heat sink.

A bi-directional dc-dc converter is provided that may provide voltage conversion for two separate electrical power systems. The two electrical power systems may have different functions, electrical requirements and power transfer directions. The bi-directional dc-dc converter may include back-to-back bi-directional dc-dc converter circuits isolated from each other by a transformer. Multiple such dc-dc converters may be connected in parallel to increase power capability. Phase shift pulse width modulation (PWM) may be used to switch the parallel dc-dc converters so as to decrease both voltage ripple and current ripple. The number of dc-dc converters may be modified to meet the different needs of various electric power systems. A single bi-directional dc-dc converter of the invention may be employed to provide electric power conversion for multiple electric power systems, even where those systems have different power requirements and different power transfer directions.

The electrically variable transmission family of the present invention provides low-content, low-cost electrically variable transmission mechanisms including first and second differential gear sets, a battery, two electric machines serving interchangeably as motors or generators, up to six selectable torque-transfer devices and possibly a dog clutch. The selectable torque transmitting devices are engaged to yield an EVT with a continuously variable range of speeds (including reverse) and at least four mechanically fixed forward speed ratios. The torque transmitting devices and the first and second motor/generators are operable to provide five operating modes in the electrically variable transmission, including battery reverse mode, EVT reverse mode, reverse and forward launch modes, continuously variable transmission range mode, and fixed ratio mode.
摘要:
A method of producing analgesia in nociceptive and neuropathic pain is disclosed. The method includes administering to a subject an omega conopeptide which is characterized by its ability to (a) inhibit electrically stimulated contraction of the guinea pig ileum, and (b) bind selectively to omega conopeptide MVIIA binding sites present in neuronal tissue. Also disclosed are novel omega conotoxin peptides effective in producing analgesia.
摘要:
A method of producing analgesia and enhancing opiate analgesia is disclosed. The method includes administering TVIA (SNX-185) or MVIIA (SNX-111) omega-conopeptide, or derivative thereof which is characterized by its ability to (a) inhibit voltage-gated calcium channels selectively in neuronal tissue, as evidenced by the peptide's ability to inhibit electrically stimulated contraction of the guinea pig ileum, and (b) bind to omega-conopeptide MVIIA binding sites present in neuronal tissue.
