    Abstract: A fluid transmission device for a vehicle includes a cover and a positioning member. The cover is configured to be driven rotatably about the axis of the fluid transmission device integrally with a drive plate. The drive plate includes a positioning hole that positions the drive plate and the cover. The positioning member is a columnar member. The positioning member is provided on the surface side of the cover, which is opposed to the drive plate, at a radially outer position of the cover. The positioning member protrudes to a drive-plate side in a state where the positioning member is arranged in the positioning hole. The positioning member protrudes from the drive plate obliquely with respect to the axis direction of the fluid transmission device. A radially outermost position of the positioning member is located on the radially inner side relative to a radially outermost position of the cover.

    Abstract: Downhole electrical power generation apparatus and methods of using stored pressurized gas and/or ambient downhole pressure. One example comprises first and second fluid receiving chambers, a fluid communication path for allowing flow of fluid from the first chamber via the fluid communication path to the second chamber and a turbine generator disposed so that fluid flowing from the first chamber via the fluid communications path to the second chamber operates the turbine generator to generate electrical power.

    Abstract: A stator for use with a torque converter includes an inner annular shell, outer annular core, a plurality of stator blades and pressure-side fluid directing projections. The plurality stator blades are disposed around the inner shell in a spaced apart configuration and radially extend to the outer core. Each stator blade includes an inlet-side edge, an opposed outlet-side edge and opposed pressure-side and suction-side surfaces extending between the inlet-side and outlet-side edges. The pressure-side fluid directing projections outwardly project from the pressure-side surface in spaced relation to each other and each extend between the inlet-side and outlet-side edges. The fluid directing projections are configured to aid in redirecting torque converter fluid returning from a turbine and reducing fluid separation as the fluid interacts with the stator blades and associated fluid directing projections thereby increasing efficiency and performance of the torque converter.

    Abstract: A lock-up device supplies hydraulic pressure to a lock-up clutch when lock-up capacity becomes insufficient with increasing accelerator operation amount during slip control. The lock-up device (1) sets a hydraulic unit pressure command value corresponding to drive source torque so rotational speed difference becomes target slip speed when a variation in accelerator operation amount is in a predefined range, and deriving an estimated drive source output torque corresponding to the accelerator operation amount to set the pressure command value corresponding to the estimated drive source torque so the rotational speed difference becomes target slip speed when accelerator operation amount variation exceeds the range's upper limit, and (2) controls the hydraulic unit to supply hydraulic pressure corresponding to hydraulic pressure command value to the lock-up clutch.
