20080090694 - Torque transfer system, method of using the same, method of fabricating the same, and apparatus for monitoring the same: A system for transferring torque includes a first rotary plate coupled to a first rotational shaft extending along a first axial direction from a first plane of rotation of the first rotary plate, and a second rotary plate coupled to a second rotational shaft disposed along a second axial direction... Agent: Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP

20080090695 - Power transmission system with continuously variable speed control: The present invention is directed toward an apparatus for continuous speed variation of an output member with respect to a primary input member. In particular, the present invention provides a device having an output that rotates at reduced speed and increased torque relative to its prime input through the low... Agent: Fulbright & Jaworski L.l.p

20080081727 - Transmission: An optimum arrangement of a control unit is obtained, the acquisition of a large bank angle by narrowing a lateral width of a power unit is enabled, and a power unit is formed in a compact form by shortening a longitudinal length of the power unit in a transmission. The... Agent: Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch

20080081728 - Continuously variable transmission with mutliple outputs: A transmission or actuator offering multiple rotational outputs proportionate in speed to that of a common rotational input, each output according to its own ratio. The ratios are continuously variable between positive and negative values, including zero, and may be varied by electromechanical actuators under computer control. The transmission relates...
