Abstract: The paper describes an electro-hydraulic single floating-disk valve suitable for use as a pilot control device. For this type of application proportional action involving small movements of the ...

Abstract: Cutting brushes are used at relatively low speeds by various municipal vehicles and in particular road sweeping units. As the name suggests such brushes are designed to “cut” through debris, ...

Abstract: In this paper we detail a review of the current state of published work regarding the modeling of rolling traction drive Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs). An overview of CVTs operating ...

Abstract: Tests are described on a bidirectional fluidic flowmeter for respiratory measurements using the principle first described by Tanney. Good dynamic response and acceptable linearity is achieved over ...

Abstract: A modification is presented to the Volterra functional series representation of the response from a cascaded linear-nonlinear-linear system in which the nonlinear element is single-valued, separable, ...

Abstract: In the Milner continuously variable transmission altering the axial separation between two moveable halves of the outer race set allows the radial position of the planet balls to vary, along ...

Abstract: A simple model from first principles has been developed to estimate the heat transferred from the piston rings and skirt to the cylinder wall. The model considers the various forms in which ...

Abstract: The U.S. EPA’s Global Change Research Program (GCRP) recently began an effort to address gaps in the current knowledge of the sensitivity of U.S. streamflow, nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus), and sediment loading to ...
