A vertical take-off and landing aerial vehicle (VTOL) includes a plurality of rotors for producing lift. For each respective rotor the VTOL has an auxiliary power source (APS) and a transformation gear set (TGS) both being associated with the respective rotor, and the VTOL further includes at least one main power source (MPS). Each TGS is configured to form an outgoing power towards its respective rotor from input powers received into the TGS from the MPS and from the APS associated with the respective rotor.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine hydraulische Verstell- und Reversiereinheit in der Gestalt einer Hydraulikpumpe oder eines Hydraulikmotors mit einem Verstellorgan (34), die insbesondere für den Drehantrieb einer Mischtrommel (18) eines Fahrbetonmischers (10) bestimmt ist. Das Verstellorgan (34) dient zur stufenlosen Durchflusssteuerung und wird über einen Verstellmechanismus (40) betätigt. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Verstellmechanismus (40) mit seinem einen Ende an das Verstellorgan angeschlossen und weist an seinem hiervon entfernt angeordneten anderen Ende ein Stellglied (36, 38) auf. Eine Besonderheit der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Verstellmechanismus (40) zwei unabhängig voneinander von unterschiedlichen Bedienstellen aus mechanisch betätigbare Stellglieder (36, 38) sowie eine Kupplungseinrichtung (42) aufweist, über welche wahlweise jeweils eines der Stellglieder (36, 38) mit dem Verstellorgan (34) kuppelbar und das andere zugleich von diesem entkuppelbar ist.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de conjugaison d'effort entre deux organes de pilotage à retour d'effort, chaque organe de pilotage comportant une poignée de manœuvre (21,31) et au moins un capteur (24, 34) d'effort adapté pour fournir une valeur d'effort de pilotage (Fp, Fcp) exercé par un pilote, le dispositif étant adapté pour former une valeur de retour d'effort à partir de la somme des valeurs des efforts de pilotage de chaque organe de pilotage. Un dispositif de correction limite ladite valeur de retour d'effort (Fcor_p) en fonction d'au moins un paramètre pris parmi la valeur absolue de l'effort de pilotage (Fcp) dudit deuxième organe de pilotage et la différence entre les valeurs des efforts de pilotage de chaque organe de pilotage. L'invention s'étend à un organe de pilotage comportant un tel dispositif de conjugaison d'efforts ainsi qu'à un aéronef équipé de tels organes de pilotage.

A steering actuator comprises a housing having a steering cable entry port. A drive mechanism is rotatably mounted within the housing. A steering cable extends through the steering cable entry port and is actuated by the drive mechanism. A steering cable core support sleeve is disposed within the housing between the steering cable entry port and an interface between the steering cable and the drive mechanism. A cable core of the steering cable extends through the steering cable support sleeve.

A drive system for controlling movement of an elongate member includes a base unit having a first rotatable knob and a second rotatable knob, a follower assembly including a follower slidably coupled to a guide rail, a longitudinal movement wire, and a rotational movement wire. The follower includes a longitudinal movement pulley, a rotational movement pulley, and an alignment element structured to receive an elongate member such that the elongate member is attachable thereto. The longitudinal movement wire operably couples the first rotatable knob to the longitudinal movement pulley such that rotation of the first knob drives the follower in a longitudinal direction along the guide rail. The rotational movement wire operably couples the second rotatable knob to the rotational movement pulley such that rotation of the second knob rotates the alignment element and attached elongate member.

A power steering system for a boat where the power steering system comprises an electronic control unit arranged for receiving steering signals from two or more steering devices, where the control unit is further arranged for computing and transmitting a rudder control signal that is a function of the steering signals, and a rudder device arranged for receiving the rudder control signal and based on the rudder control signal, steering a positioning device, such as a rudder or a thruster, so as for changing or maintaining the heading of the boat.

A lock (50) particularly suitable for selectively locking a handle (30) in any one or more of the available positions. The lock (50) comprises a locking pin (51) moveable axially along a first axis (52) between engaging and release conditions. The locking pin (51) is operably connected to a slider (71) adapted to undergo reciprocatory movement along a second axis (72) substantially normal to the first axis (52), whereby movement of the slider (71) along the second axis (72) causes movement of the locking pin (51) along the first axis (52). A handle mechanism (10) incorporating the lock (50), and apparatus (11) fitted with the handle mechanism (10), are also disclosed.

A control wheel (102) for controlling at least one function of a system by a user includes a moveable engagement wheel for engagement by the user and an actuator coupled to the engagement wheel for providing force or haptic feedback to the engagement wheel in response to movement of the engagement wheel. A sensor (240) for sensing movement of the engagement wheel is provided and a control system is coupled to the sensor for receiving information about positioning and movement of the engagement wheel, and is also coupled to the actuator for controlling force to the engagement wheel. The control system also provides control of the at least one function of the system.
