Abstract: A dual clutch transmission includes a housing, a first clutch configured to selectively couple a first input shaft to a transmission input shaft to transfer torque therebetween, and a second clutch configured to selectively couple a second input shaft to the transmission input shaft to transfer torque therebetween. A clutch connector is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. In the disengaged position, the first and second clutches are uncoupled and configured to transfer the torque from the transmission input shaft to their respective first or second input shaft independently of each other. In the engaged position, the first and second clutches are coupled for common rotation to utilize a torque transfer capacity of both first and second clutches by transferring the torque from the transmission input shaft through both first and second clutches to only one of the first and second input shafts.

Abstract: The volume of lubricating oil stored in the sump of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle is in significant excess of the volume of oil circulating through the engine at any one time. The circulating oil, drawn from the sump, may be rapidly heated during its passage through the engine, but the excess volume remaining in the sump dilutes and cools the circulating oil as it returns to the sump. By separating the oil volume into a portion which is circulated through the engine and a second portion which has only limited opportunity to mix with and cool the circulating oil the circulating oil may attain its operating temperature more rapidly. Once the stored volume of oil in the engine has also reached its operating temperature the circulating oil and stored oil may be recombined.

Abstract translation: 存储在车辆内燃机的集油槽中的润滑油的体积大大超过在任何一个时间通过发动机循环的油的体积。 从贮槽中抽出的循环油可能在其通过发动机的过程中被快速加热，但是残留在油底壳中的剩余体积在回流到油槽时稀释并冷却循环油。 通过将油量分离成通过发动机循环的部分和仅具有有限的机会与循环油混合并冷却循环油的第二部分，循环油可以更快地达到其工作温度。 一旦发动机中存储的油量也达到其工作温度，循环油和储存的油可能被重组。

Abstract: The invention is a device for controlling the temperature and thus the viscosity of the lubricating fluid in a rear axle or differential. A first embodiment of the device comprehends a curved bi-metal strip or plate disposed proximate the ring gear and closely conforming to it. The strip extends about the periphery of the ring gear in the direction of rotation of the gear when the vehicle is moving forward. As the temperature of the lubricating fluid increases or decreases, the bi-metal strip or plate moves to direct a larger or smaller flow of the lubricating fluid toward the housing through which heat is transferred to the atmosphere. In another embodiment, a bi-metal baffle disposed adjacent the ring gear includes a plurality of flaps which open upon a rise in lubricating fluid temperature and direct more fluid to the housing to assist heat dissipation.

Abstract: Devices and methods for removal of condensed, blow-by contaminants with small molecular dimensions from the circulating lubricating engine oil of internal combustion engines, including automotive engines, with a positive crankcase ventilation system are disclosed. These condensable blow-by contaminants include water, alcohols and hydrocarbons with preponderantly seven or fewer carbon atoms. A macroporous structure comprising alumino-silicate particles with micro-pores is at least partially immersed in the circulating oil. The micro-pores are sized to adsorb the small, condensed, blow-by, contaminant molecules but not the larger oil molecules. The particles may be multi-layered, with an inner layer adapted for adsorption of polar molecules. Adsorption is most extensive at lower oil temperatures and decreases as the oil temperature increases. Thus at low temperatures the contaminant molecules may be adsorbed, removed from the oil and temporarily stored in the micropores. At high temperatures some of the contaminants will desorb and be re-incorporated in the oil. The desorbed contaminants will be carried with the higher temperature oil into the engine crankcase where they may vaporize and be removed by the engine positive crankcase ventilation system.

Abstract: The disclosed clutch includes a reaction plate, a friction plate, a friction layer, at least one non-compressible member and a fluid lubricant. The friction layer has a coefficient of friction that is sufficient to prevent relative rotation of the reaction and friction plates when the friction layer is compressed by the reaction plate. Further, the friction layer has at least one groove. At least one non-compressible member is disposed in the at least one groove to prevent further compression of the friction layer by the reaction plate. The at least one non-compressible member is mechanically fastened to the friction plate.

Abstract: A clutch assembly is provided including a controller, a plurality of vibration sensors, a clutch housing containing a lubricated clutch pack having a friction interface, a clutch piston responsive to a current command from the controller and operable for applying a compression force on the clutch pack, and a high-frequency (HF) oscillation source configured to generate at least one HF oscillation, and to direct the HF oscillation to the friction interface, wherein the controller is operable to detect clutch shudder and activate the source in response thereto to minimize the clutch shudder. The source includes HF hardware, and generates different HF oscillations applied directly to the clutch housing or to the clutch-apply current command. A method of reducing clutch shudder includes setting a threshold clutch shudder amplitude, detecting clutch shudder, and applying a HF oscillation to a friction interface to minimize clutch shudder when the detected shudder exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for increasing the operating life of a rotating gear element including a plurality of outwardly-projecting gear teeth each having an involute profile, with each gear tooth having a pair of flanks and a pair of generally semi-circular root portions. A ring tool having a plurality of hardened, inwardly-projecting burnishing teeth is employed to plastically deform only the root portions of the gear element being formed, while avoiding contact with the flanks as the gear element is passed through the ring tool. The ring tool also includes a plurality of broaching surfaces or cutting edges for removing excess stock material from the surfaces of the root portions. The ring tool increases the compressive residual stresses in the root portion of the gear element being formed, thereby creating an optimal residual stress profile and greater bending strength within the root portion of the gear element.

Abstract: A reaction member adapted for engagement with a friction member in a torque-transmitting mechanism is provided. The reaction member includes a reaction member base and a coating formed on the reaction member base. The coating is characterized by a coefficient of friction. The coated reaction member base is selectively engageable in sliding contact with the friction member. The sliding contact is at least partially characterized by the coefficient of friction of the coating. When lubricant is disposed between the friction member and the coated reaction member base, the sliding contact is at least partially characterized by an elasto-hydrodynamic (EHD) coefficient of friction of the lubricant. When no lubricant is so-disposed (i.e., during the asperity phase), the sliding contact is characterized by the coefficient of friction of the coating, which is less than the EHD coefficient of friction, thus avoiding a high operating coefficient of friction during the asperity phase.
