What follows is the description of an improved hydraulic system for automatically adjusting the positions of headlights of an automobile. The hydraulic system includes two component hydraulic systems, the first of which is provided with a mechanical linkage structure associated with spring-suspended parts at the front and rear of the automobile, two measuring cylinders having pistons displaceable therein and connected to the linkage structure, and a conduit which connects the two measuring cylinders with one another and with the work space of a common working cylinder of the hydraulic system. The second component system is provided with a second working cylinder having a piston displaceable therein and a work space which is connected by a conduit to the common working cylinder, as well as a pair of headlight position adjusting linkages connected to the pistons of the two working cylinders on the one hand and adapted for mechanical connection to pivotably mounted headlights of the automobile, on the other hand. This hydraulic system is improved by providing it with a fill-up valve in one, and a vent valve in the other of the component systems, and with a hydraulic conduit interconnecting the two systems in which conduit there is interposed a shut-off structure which can be opened in the direction of liquid flow from the fill-up valve to the vent valve, while the entire hydraulic system is being filled. |

A method and apparatus for generating thermal energy (heat) from human locomotion is proposed and used to provide heating of the user's footwear. The apparatus takes the form of a pair of flexible, liquid-filled chambers connected by an energy-generating tube. One chamber is located in the heel region of a footwear insole, with the other in the toe region, such that as a person walks, the liquid moves back and forth within the tube. This movement is used to also move an energy-producing element (either an electromagnetic arrangement or viscous liquid) back and forth within the tube and convert the captured human locomotion energy into thermal energy, thus warming the footwear. |

A hydraulic drive system for an actuator uses a pair of pressure compensated hydraulic machines to control flow to and from the drive chambers of the actuator by varying the controlled pressure of one of the machines. The machines are mechanically coupled to permit energy recovery and charge an accumulator to store supplies energy. The drive system may be combined with other services including a transmission for incorporation in a vehicle. The transmission uses a pressure compensated supply and torque control of the wheels. |

A hybrid actuation system includes one or more electromechanical actuators, one or more master hydraulic actuators, and a slave hydraulic actuator. Each electromechanical actuator is adapted to be controllably energized and is configured, upon being controllably energized, to supply a drive force. Each master hydraulic actuator is coupled to receive the drive force from an electromechanical actuator and is configured, upon receipt of the drive force, to at least selectively supply pressurized hydraulic fluid. The slave hydraulic actuator is in fluid communication with the master hydraulic actuator to receive pressurized hydraulic fluid therefrom.

An actuator assembly (1) comprises a body (2) in which works an actuating piston (7), a first piston (5) and at least one second piston (6), a chamber (26) containing a substantially incompressible fluid by which each of the first and second pistons (5, 6) acts on the actuating piston (7). The movement of the first piston (5) from a retracted position to an extended position acts via the fluid to cause the actuating piston (7) to move from a retracted position to an operational position, and subsequent movement of a second piston (6) from a retracted position to an extended position acts via the fluid to cause an actuation movement of the actuating piston (7). |
