摘要:
This is a modular internal combustion engine with an upper and lower block construction comprising a lower block with multiple angles mating with the upper block and having an upper block construction that allows the upper block to tilt over for easy access to the crankshaft and other lower end components. An upper and lower block that can be die cast without cores. An internal combustion engine with interchangeable parts within a family of engines, a common upper block to support the cylinder jug(s) and cylinder head(s), with individual separate cylinder head(s) mounted on and through individual separate cylinder jug(s), with individual separate valve cover(s) mounted on individual separate cylinder head(s), with individual separate cylinder jug(s) each with its own separate coolant jacket and separate coolant intake from a common rail delivery source and separate exits to its own separate head, with individual separate cylinder head(s) each with its own separate coolant intake from its separate cylinder jug(s) and separate exits to a common wet exhaust manifold. An internal combustion engine with coolant flow through the cylinder jug(s) that is perpendicular to the crankshaft and not parallel to the crankshaft and coolant flow through the cylinder head that is perpendicular to the coolant flow in the cylinder jug and also perpendicular to the crankshaft. A internal combustion engine with a conventional in-block camshaft with a conventional camshaft lifter and pushrod application where the camshaft can be installed or removed from the front, back or side of the engine. A lower block in which the crankshaft is installed from the top and is cradled into the lower block and onto replaceable main bearing housings that are indexed into the lower block allowing for greater power density. An internal combustion engine having a, machining free, design that can always be repaired while still in the application and where no line boring is ever required. An internal combustion engine design that reduces weight, reduces down time, reduces parts inventories, reduces shipping cost, reduces warranty cost, reduces fuel cost, reduces friction, improves cooling and is capable of higher turbo boosting. A internal combustion engine, having a modular construction, where the ease of service and repair is a primary motivation for the invention.

The present invention broadly comprises a torque converter including a cover arranged to accept torque from a drive unit and an impeller. The cover and the impeller are joined by a crimped connection. In some aspects, the converter includes a sealing element disposed between the cover and the impeller and the sealing element is selected from the group consisting of an o-ring and a gasket. In some aspects, the cover is a cast piece. In some aspects, the cover is formed by a process selected from the group consisting of: molding, compression molding, and pressed metal forming. In some aspects, the cover is a stamped metal piece. The present invention also broadly comprises a torque converter including a cover, an impeller, and an induction brazed connection joining the cover and impeller. In some aspects, the cover further comprises axially disposed fingers engaged with the impeller.
摘要:
A method for operating a load dependent current-generating system which supplies at least one electric drive motor with electrical energy. A power request is made to the electric drive motor, and a dynamic parameter of the current generating system and/or a simulation model, which characterizes the behaviour of the current generating system, is used for calculating the setpoint current value for the current generating system.

A wearable geographical information display assembly includes a heads-up display 4 to which is mounted an attitude sensor 22. Both heads-up display 4 and attitude sensor 22 are coupled with a cellular phone 10 of a type that receives geographical positioning data from orbital satellites 12. Positional data, and data indicating line of sight from attitude sensor 22 are transmitted from cell phone 10 to a telecommunications company 16. The company retrieves display data corresponding to the received positional and line of sight data from a database 18. The display data is transmitted back to cell phone 10 and displayed by means of heads-up display 4.

An arrangement for fastening a magnetic ring onto a transmission component (1) by way of a supporting ring (6) such that the supporting ring (6) is connected, in a rotationally fixed manner, to the transmission component (1) by a bayonet joint.
摘要:
A method and an arrangement for controlling the power supply of a vehicle which has a hybrid power system composed of a fuel cell system and a dynamic power system which contains a storage battery. The power system can be operated with optimum dynamics as a function of operating modes which can be set.

A route finder device for a motor vehicle contains a data input unit for inputting one or more destinations for a journey, a road network memory for storing the locations on the network of roads which can be used by the vehicle, a computer unit for determining one or more possible routes from the location to the destination or destinations including energy supply processes which may be required at one or more energy supply locations as a function of the quantity of energy present in the energy accumulator, the energy supply network and the route specific energy consumption, as well as a display unit for displaying the routes determined by the computer unit. When used in electric vehicles, this device permits optimum routes to be found, taking into account charging processes for the traction battery.
摘要:
The invention provides a hybrid drive arrangement, particularly for a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine, a generator, a rectifier, an inverter, an energy accumulator connected to the direct current line between the rectifier and the inverter as well as a driving motor coupled to the inverter. A bypass line bridges the rectifier--direct-current line--inverter path, and a switching element is provided to couple the driving motor with the generator selectively by way of the rectifier--direct-current line--inverse rectifier path on the one hand, or the bypass line on the other.
摘要:
Hinge pins for use in a method of accessing a crankshaft within an internal combustion engine that includes: A) inserting a first hinge pivot of a first hinge pin into a first bore on a front side of the internal combustion engine and locking in place; B) inserting a second hinge pivot of a second hinge pin into a second bore on a rear side opposite from the front side of the internal combustion engine and locking in place; and C) rotating the upper block upward around an axis of rotation running through the first bore and the second bore to expose a cavity between the upper block and the lower block to allow access to the crankshaft.
