Selectable one-way clutch control

The present invention provides a method for controlling a selectable one-way clutch, or SOWC, such that engine braking is enabled. Additionally, the method of the present invention is adapted to provide engine braking using the SOWC such that a separate clutch is not required. The method is initiated by identifying a downshift command. After the downshift command has been identified, the off-going clutch associated with the current speed ratio is released. Engine speed is preferably increased to bring the relative speed across a selectable one-way clutch to approximately zero. Thereafter, the selectable one-way clutch is engaged such that is capable of holding torque in both directions. As the selectable one-way clutch can hold torque in both directions, torque is transmittable from the transmission to the engine and engine braking is thereby enabled.

Lightweight impact resistant helmet system

InactiveUS6931671B2Cheap constructionMinimizes bodily injuryHatsHeadwear capsFiberEnergy absorption
A strong, lightweight, impact resistant helmet system protects the wearer from impact injury and minimizes bodily injury to other players brought into contact therewith during blocking and tackling events. Weight reduction is achieved by reinforcing inner and outer surfaces of the helmet shell with long length, high strength fibers. Orientation of the fibers is such that the fiber lengths are aligned generally in the direction of tension and compression forces imposed on the helmet surface during impact. This reinforcement geometry permits use of a thin helmet shell. Efficient impact absorption by the helmet shell is accomplished by limiting the bend curvature produced at the impact location. The bend curvature reduction increases the contact area between the helmet shell and a second pliable padded inner helmet made from energy absorbing polymeric foam disposed within the helmet shell in contact with its inner surface. The second pliable padded inner helmet rests on the wearer's head, held in place by an attachment mechanism associated with the helmet shell. Energy is absorbed when the inner surface of the helmet shell contacts and compresses the inner helmet. The reduced bend curvature of the helmet shell spreads impact forces over a large area, and the impact load experienced by the wearer is decreased.

Device for absorbing floor-landing shock for legged mobile robot

A landing shock absorbing device 18 provided in a foot mechanism 6 of a leg of a robot comprises an inflatable and compressible bag-like member 19 (a variable capacity element) on a bottom face side of the foot mechanism 6. The bag-like member 19 is constructed of an elastic material such as rubber. Air in the atmosphere can flow into and out of the bag-like member 19 by inflow / outflow means 20 provided with a solenoid valve 27 and the like. In a landing state of the foot mechanism 6 and in a state immediately after the foot mechanism shifts from the landing state to a lifting state, the solenoid valve 27 is closed to maintain the bag-like member 19 in a compressed state. Furthermore, during the bag-like member 19 in the inflating state during the lifting state of the foot mechanism 6, by controlling timing when the solenoid valve 27 is switched from a valve opening state to a valve closing state, a height of the bag-like member 19 in a compression direction is controlled to be a height suitable for a gait type of the robot. Thereby, posture stability of the robot can be secured easily while reducing a impact load in the landing motion of the leg of the legged mobile robot, and further, a lightweight configuration can be achieved.

Disclosed is a self-adaption claw mechanism of a spatial on-orbit service robot. The self-adaption claw mechanism is composed of a self-adaption claw, a motor, a transmission mechanism of the motor and a base part. The self-adaption claw is used for achieving the function of on-orbit target object capturing. The motor and the transmission mechanism of the motor are used for transmitting torque, and the motor provides active torque. The base part is used for maintaining the relative positions of all the parts of a system. The self-adaption claw mechanism has adaptivity, so that grabbing modes can be selected in a self-adaption mode according to the shapes of target objects, and the universality is strong. The claw mechanism has auto-stability, and after the claw mechanism makes contact with the target objects, the post grabbing process is prone to self-stabilization due to the fact that a torsion spring which has the effect of adjusting the torque in a passive mode is adopted. The active and passive composite driving design with the single motor and the torsion spring combined is adopted in the mechanism, so that control strategies are simplified, and impulsive loads can be effectively buffered. The self-adaption claw mechanism is applied to the on-orbit robot, and greatly improves the task executing efficiency.
