Quick change infinitely adjustable barrel nut assembly

The present invention is a quick change and torque controlled barrel nut assembly for use on a variety of firearms. The invention is made up of a generally cylindrically shaped barrel nut configured to adaptably connect a barrel to a firearm, a gas tube ring that is configured to fit over the barrel nut and a locknut that holds the gas tube ring in place. This invention allows the gun barrel to be rapidly connected by connecting the barrel to the receiver portion of a firearm, placing the freely rotating stabilizing gas ring in a desired position and tightening the locknut to hold the stabilizing gas ring in place.

Torque-based powertrain control for vehicles

A system and method for controlling a vehicle powertrain having an internal combustion engine include determining a difference between a desired engine torque and a current engine torque, adjusting the difference based on a stored torque offset corresponding to a current engine speed, and controlling the engine to produce a torque corresponding to the adjusted torque difference. The stored torque offset is adjusted when the engine is operating in a predetermined engine speed range based on a steady-state difference between the desired and current engine torque to reduce the steady-state difference to zero. The adjusted torque difference may be limited by a maximum-engine-torque-available parameter and a minimum-engine-torque-available parameter, which is based on an operating temperature, such as the engine coolant temperature. The system and method may also include controlling spark to rapidly reduce current engine torque to the adjusted torque difference value.

Centrifugal clutch assembly with dedicated maneuvering mode

A vehicle power train system includes an engine, a transmission, and a centrifugal clutch assembly that selectively couples an engine output shaft to a transmission input shaft in response to an operator input. An operator selects a desired vehicle-operating mode by actuating a shift lever or shift switch from a gear selection device. The gear selection device indicates many different operating modes and includes a low-speed maneuvering mode that is selected for low-speed operations such as coupling a truck to a trailer, or positioning a truck and / or trailer in relation to a loading dock area. Once the low-speed maneuvering mode is selected, a control unit controls at least one of engine speed and engine torque to indirectly effect clutch slippage, which results in improved vehicle speed control at low-speed operations.
