Abstract: A method is provided for controlling operation of a pedal cycle (10) having a rear hub-mounted electro-mechanical transmission arrangement in which a chain-driven rear sprocket (80), an input electrical machine (120) and the hub (100) are each coupled to a respective branch of a three-branch epicyclic gear set (140). Allowing for natural variations in input torque by a cyclist over a cycle of the crank arms (50), a substantially constant current is caused to exist in the input electrical machine (120) such that a change in torque applied by the cyclist results in a change in transmission ratio between the rear sprocket (80) and the hub (100), thereby providing a form of automatic and continuously variable transmission for the pedal cycle (10).

The transmission system also includes first and second motor/generators having first and second stators connected to ground and first and second rotors connected to respective members of the epicyclic gearsets other than those constituting the input and the output. One of the motor/generators is connected to both sun members or to both annulus members, the carrier member of one of the gearsets being connected to that one of the sun member and the annulus member of the other gearset which is not connected to a motor/generator. The electrical connections of the first stator are connected to the electrical connections of the second stator, whereby, in use, electrical power is transferred between the first and second motor/generators.

Abstract: A piston which is reciprocable within a cylinder is rigidly connected to a bearing housing by a connection. The connection comprises a rigid tube fixed to the piston and a rigid rod fixed to the housing which extends within the tube coaxially thereof. The tube has an internal thread which engages with an external thread on the rod such that rotation of the tube changes the length of the connection and hence the position of the piston within its cylinder. The tube is rotated by way of a worm spindle which engages with longitudinal grooves formed on the external surface of the tube. The arrangement can be used particularly to vary the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine having a counter rotating crank drive.
