    Abstract: A method of pressurizing a closed-cycle engine includes performing a non-steady state operation in which a working fluid flows to or from a pressurized tank: i) to or from a plurality of sumps defined by respective ones of a plurality of cylinder-piston assemblies of the closed-cycle engine; or ii) to or from one or more air bearings associated with each one of the plurality of the cylinder-piston assemblies; or iii) both and performing, before and/or after performing the non-steady state operation, a steady-state operation in which the working fluid flows through the plurality of sumps and the one or more air bearings along a steady-state loop that is fluidly decoupled from the pressurized tank.

    Abstract: A hydraulic brake arrangement for a bicycle with a transmitting unit with a brake lever, and a cylinder housing with a cylinder space, and with a piston unit displaceably received in the cylinder space. In the tank space of an equalizing reservoir device, a membrane unit is disposed which subdivides the tank space into a fluid space for the hydraulic fluid and an air space sealed against the fluid space. The air space is connected with atmosphere through a vent opening. When the membrane unit is mounted, a filling mouth is in fluid connection with the fluid space. The vent opening opens into a receiving space that is at least partially enclosed by the base body of the transmitting unit. In the receiving space, an actuating mechanism is disposed which transmits force from the brake lever to the piston unit.

    Abstract: A remote hydraulic system for an aircraft may provide hydraulic fluid to nose landing gear while being isolated from the main landing gear and other main hydraulic systems of the aircraft. A supply pressure accumulator may be configured to supply hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic load of the nose gear. A pressure sensor may be configured to detect a hydraulic pressure in the supply pressure accumulator. A pump may be in fluid communication with the supply pressure accumulator and configured to switch on in response to the hydraulic pressure below a threshold value. A return pressure accumulator may be configured to store the hydraulic fluid returning from the hydraulic load. The pump may drive fluid from the return pressure accumulator to the supply pressure accumulator.

    Abstract: A four-state adjustable air path structure is an air storage-type pneumatic actuating mechanism. An air source (1) is respectively connected to an air storage tank (3) and a port a1 of a two-position three-way solenoid valve A (4) via a check valve (2). A port c1 and a port b1 of the two-position three-way solenoid valve A (4) are respectively connected to a port c2 of a two-position three-way solenoid valve B (6) and a vent hole (5). A port a2 and a port b2 of the two-position three-way solenoid valve B (6) are respectively connected to a port b3 of a two-position three-way solenoid valve C (8) and a port of a throttle valve (7). Another port of the throttle valve (7) is connected to a port a3 of the two-position three-way solenoid valve C (8). A port c3 of the two-position three-way solenoid valve C (8) is connected to an air tank (9). The present air storage-type pneumatic actuating mechanism uses air as a medium, utilizing the compressibility of the air to achieve a centralized air supply, thereby significantly simplifying processing and maintenance of a mechanical structure. Intellectual control of an operating speed can also be achieved. The present invention has advantages such as structural simplicity, low manufacturing costs, safe and reliable operation, long service life, and suitability for long-distance transmission.

    Abstract: One aspect of the invention features a hydraulic fluid cooling and filtering assembly including an inlet tank with an assembly inlet, an outlet with an assembly outlet, and a heat exchanger with multiple fluid channels where channel outlets are spaced apart along a length of the outlet tank over a flow outlet span and cross-flow air channels are formed between the fluid channels. A filter element disposed within the outlet tank includes an internal cavity in communication with the assembly outlet and porous filtering material separating the internal cavity from the heat exchanger channel outlets. The filter element is elongated and has an outer filtering surface extending along at least most of the flow outlet span of the heat exchanger; such that straight lines are defined by the respective inlets and outlets of each fluid channel that intersect the outer filtering surface which is exposed to the fluid channel outlets.

    Abstract: A shut-off valve is provided. The shut-off valve includes a valve body having an inlet and an outlet, and a shut-off element, which is arranged in the valve body and through which a shut-off element through-channel is formed, which ends at its two ends in two mutually spaced first openings in an outer surface of the shut-off element. The shut-off element is movable between a shut-off position, in which the shut-off element blocks a fluid flow, and a flow position, in which the shut-off element allows a fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet of the valve body through the shut-off element through-channel. The shut-off element includes a first pressure-compensation channel opening with an inner end into the shut-off element through-channel, and the valve body includes a second pressure-compensation channel.
