Fixed refers to the delivery of rewards on a consistent schedule. Ratio refers to the number of responses that are required in order to receive reinforcement. For example, a fixed-ratio schedule might be delivery a reward for every fifth response.

Two-mode, compound-split, hybrid electro-mechanical transmission having four fixed ratios

A two-mode, compound-split, electra-mechanical transmission utilizes an input member for receiving power from an engine, and an output member for delivering power from the transmission. First and second motor / generators are operatively connected to an energy storage device through a control for interchanging electrical power among the storage device, the first motor / generator and the second motor / generator. The transmission employs three planetary gear sets. Each planetary gear arrangement utilizes first, second and third gear members. Moreover, one gear member of the first or second planetary gear set is operatively connected to the input member, and one gear member of the third planetary gear set is selectively connected to ground. A lock-up clutch selectively locks two of the planetary gear sets in a 1:1 ratio.

Shift through neutral control in an electrically variable transmission

A shift control for an electrically variable transmission shifts between modes through a neutral mode wherein the output is decoupled from the transmission. Normally, shifts between modes are accomplished synchronously through a duration of fixed-ratio operation. Extreme driving conditions may invoke shifts through neutral mode. Ratio violations characterized by one mode being active in a preferred input / output ratio range for another mode are handled by a shift through neutral. Similarly, rapid acceleration and deceleration conditions likely to result in undesirable engine speeds if synchronous shifting is employed are handled by a shift through neutral.

Electronic winch monitoring system

An electronic winch monitoring system for a winch having a fixed-ratio gearbox with input and output shafts, a winch drum connected to the output shaft, and an auxiliary brake connected to the output shaft activated by reducing the pressure in a brake release hydraulic circuit. The system comprises an input shaft speed sensor, an output shaft speed sensor, and an electronic control unit having a monitoring section and a brake control section. The monitoring section receives the speed signals, processes them to produce a calculated ratio of actual input to output shaft speeds, and produces a fault indication signal when the value of the difference between the calculated speed ratio and the fixed ratio exceeds a predetermined value. The brake control section, upon receiving the fault signal, reduces the hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit using a nonlinear pressure-time profile to engage the auxiliary brake and stop the winch drum.

The invention relates to a production device for steam explosion pretreatment of biomass, in particular to a pretreatment device for the industry of biomass utilization, and provides a numerically controlled continuous steam explosion machine, which can complete supersonic steam explosion in milliseconds (0.00875s) based on the principle of a sliding cover. Since the cross-sectional area of the steam explosion machine for gas discharging, i.e. the cross-sectional area of the sliding cover, is equal to the cross-sectional area of a high-pressure cylinder, the cross-sectional area of the steam explosion machine for gas discharging and the steam explosion treatment volume form a fixed ratio, the problem that the gas discharging time is prolonged along with increase in the treatment volume in the traditional hot blowing process can be solved, and the power and density of steam explosion can be increased by three orders of magnitude. Moreover, the 'rawness and maturity' of materials which are subjected to batch treatment can be kept identical, and a foundation is laid for the consistency of industrial biochemical treatment. Meanwhile, the machine has the function of feeding and discharging materials automatically and the continuous steam explosion production can be realized.
