International Classification:

F16H 37/06

US Classification:

74665GC, 74413, 74420, 74665 H

Abstract:

A motor vehicle power transfer unit for distributing torque from a transmission assembly between a front wheel drive line and rear wheel drive line. The power transfer unit includes a housing that encloses a parallel gear set and a non-parallel gear set, which are coupled between an input portion and an output portion of the power transfer unit. The parallel gear set includes a driving gear, and idler gear and a driven gear and the idler gear is rotatably supported on a non-rotating support member that extends through the idler gear. Constructed in this manner, reduced lateral compactness of the power transfer unit is achieved.

US Classification:

2972184, 29 91, 298972

Abstract:

Disclosed are tie down cord assemblies and methods of assembling same. According to some aspects, the tie down cord assembly includes a webbing having a tunnel portion and a flat portion, with the tunnel portion configured to receive a slotted cord and the flat portion configured to attach to fabric. The slotted cord weaves in and out of the tunnel portion and is configured to interact with a seat frame or other suitable structure to secure the fabric to a seat frame. The tie down cord assembly is configured to be universal so that it can be used with seat frames having different dimensions and/or configurations.

Abstract:

A crystal network device (10 or 200) includes a plurality of separable interconnected crystal resonator devices (12, 14, 16 and 18 or 202, 204 and 206) having different resonant frequencies. Each of the crystal resonator devices comprises a molded plastic support member (22, 68, 90, 142 or 208, 264, 283) having a plurality of unitary terminals (32, 120 or 222, 264, 292), which may be of J-shaped construction, mounted thereon. Each crystal resonator device (12, 14, 16, 18 or 202, 204, 206) also includes a crystal resonator plate (30, 84, 102, 150 or 224, 268, 298) mounted on a respective one of the support members (22, 68, 90, 142 or 208, 264, 283) by lead wires (54, 138 or 226, 270, 300) extending from the plate and bonded to enlarged wire terminating sections (48, 126 or 230, 274, 304) of the terminals (32, 120 or 122, 264, 292) so as to produce a free wire length of the lead wires on the order of an odd multiple of one-quarter wave length of the respective lead wires, when the lead wires are resonant at the resonant frequency of their respective crystal resonator plates. Legs (36, 122 or 218, 260, 290) of the terminals (32, 120 or 122, 264, 292) project from the crystal network device (10 or 200) for mounting and interconnecting the device on a printed circuit board (20 or 310).

Abstract:

An animal enclosure apparatus adapted to be assembled entirely by a user from a single symmetrically-arranged foldable blank of biodegradable, disposable material. The enclosure apparatus is particularly suited for providing a sanitary kitty litter enclosure which shields the surrounding area from debris and odors. A flap is provided for opening a passageway for an animal to enter and exit the enclosure, and to close the passageway so that the apparatus is entirely sealed for disposal of the exhausted litter.
