Tensioning or deflection pulley for a belt drive

A tensioning or deflection pulley for a belt drive includes a carrier and a track roller comprised of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a connecting assembly, including a wheel disk extending between the inner and outer rings, and a rib assembly disposed in both sides of the disk in circumferential spaced-apart relationship, for interconnecting the inner and outer rings. The track roller is supported on the carrier by a sealed rolling-contact bearing via a fastening screw. A first sealing element is connected to the track roller on a carrier-distal side, and a second cap-shaped sealing element is disposed between the carrier and the track roller and detachably secured to the inner ring of the track roller to thereby seal the track roller on both sides.

Tangential-flow filtration system

The present invention includes a system and method for transferring a selected solute species from a fluid mixture to a fluid media. The system of the present invention includes a convergent channel for passing a fluid mixture containing a selected species tangentially across the first surface of a porous membrane. A fluid media is directed to flow tangentially over the second surface of the membrane. As the fluid mixture and the fluid media flow on opposite sides of the membrane, the selected species traverses the membrane leaving the fluid mixture and entering the fluid media. The volumetric loss to the fluid mixture associated with the loss of the selected species is compensated for by the convergency of the channel. As a result a constant velocity is maintained over the membrane, maximizing the selectivity of the filtration process.

Power output apparatus, motor vehicle equipped with power output apparatus, and control method of power output apparatus

In a reverse drive with power output from an engine, the control procedure of the invention selects a drive point of the higher rotation speed corresponding to the higher accelerator opening among available drive points that ensure output of a target engine power, and controls the engine to be driven at the selected drive point and ensure output of a torque demand corresponding to the accelerator opening to a drive shaft. A required torque level output from a motor MG2 increases with an increase in engine torque under the conditions of a fixed torque demand of the drive shaft and a fixed output power level of the engine 22. Setting a drive point of the higher rotation speed and the lower torque corresponding to a higher level of the accelerator opening ensures output of the torque demand to the drive shaft. Setting a drive point of the lower rotation speed and the higher torque corresponding to a lower level of the accelerator opening improves the drive feeling of the engine.
