20110218071 | TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION ASSEMBLY - A transmission lubrication assembly includes a stator tube having a fluid passage and a sleeve bore, and a stator tube sleeve having a lubrication path provided along an external peripheral service thereof. In another aspect, the transmission lubrication assembly may include a solid input shaft rotatably received within the stator tube, a valve body, and a lubrication tube that provides fluid communication between the fluid passage and the valve body. In yet another aspect, a method of lubricating a transmission assembly includes providing a pressurized source of lubricating fluid, providing a stator tube comprising a fluid passage, and directing a portion of the lubricating fluid to a section of the transmission assembly by way of a stator tube sleeve, wherein the stator tube sleeve has an axial channel through which the lubricating fluid flows. | 09-08-2011 |
20110120413 | THROTTLE BODY FUEL DISTRIBUTION ASSEMBLY - A throttle body fuel distribution assembly includes a throttle body assembly having a throttle body housing and a throttle bore for inducting an airflow, a fuel injector coupled to the throttle body assembly, and a fuel dissemination device for dispersing fuel sprayed by the fuel injector into the airflow through the throttle bore. In one variation, a throttle body fuel distribution assembly includes a throttle valve assembly for controlling the airflow through the throttle bore. In some variations, the fuel spray is diverted in a direction resistive to the direction of the airflow through the throttle bore. In yet another aspect, a throttle body injection system for an internal combustion engine includes a throttle body assembly having an air conduit, an injector assembly coupled to the throttle body assembly, and a fuel deflector for deflecting fuel into the airflow. | 05-26-2011 |
20110005488 | Engine manifold with modular runners - An intake manifold assembly for an internal combustion engine that has a modular construction and includes a base member, a runner, and a shell, wherein the base member removably attaches to the engine, and the runner and the shell each separately and independently removably attach to the base member. In another aspect, the assembly further includes a fastener for attaching the runner to the base member, wherein the shell is formed so as to retain the fastener between the shell and the base member when the shell is attached to the base member. In another aspect, the assembly further includes a bumper affixed to a surface of the base member, wherein the bumper abuts a surface of the internal combustion engine. In another aspect, the base member includes a sealing ridge that mates with a sealing groove provided on the shell. | 01-13-2011 |
20100107625 | TRANSMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLY AND USE THEREOF - Aspects of the present invention provide features for varying speeds available and/or range of operation of transmissions for use in high performance, increased efficiency, and/or other applications. Increased performance and/or efficiency may be obtained by using additional speeds or gear ranges to maintain drivetrain operation within maximum power and/or efficiency bands of internal combustion engine operation. | 05-06-2010 |
20090188452 | Camshaft variable timing limiting devices, methods of assembly, and uses thereof - A variable timing limiting device for mounting to a camshaft variable timing mechanism includes a flange having a central opening and a travel limiter extending from the flange, wherein the camshaft variable timing mechanism has a hub and a sprocket having a recessed portion, the travel limiter being matably receivable in the recessed portion of the sprocket. In another aspect of the disclosure, a variable timing limiting device for a camshaft variable timing mechanism includes a free floating travel limiter inserted into a chamber portion of the camshaft variable timing mechanism. In another aspect of the disclosure, a camshaft variable timing mechanism for securing to a camshaft includes a hub, a vane lobe extending from the hub, a sprocket portion having a recess configured to receive an end of the vane lobe, the vane lobe being capable of travel within the recess, and a variable timing limiting device. | 07-30-2009 |
