A test used in the examination of patients with cervical spine syndromes. This test should be done with the patient seated; the open palm of the examiner's hand should be placed under the patient's chin while the examiner's other hand goes under the patient's occiput; gradually the force of lifting the patient's head increases, removing the weight of the skull and distracting the foramina, discs, and joints. Nerve root compression may be relieved, with disappearance of symptoms with opening of the intervertebral foramina or extension of the disc spaces, Additionally, pressure on joint capsules of apophyseal joints diminishes with head distraction. 2, record 2, English, - head%20distraction%20test

A variation of the CVT [continuously variable transmission] is the IVT or toroidal transmission, where a pair of rollers rotate between an input and an output disc. Modifying the angle of the rollers changes the gear ratio. This transmission system is capable of handling higher torque while providing greater driving comfort and faster gear ratio changes. However, it is limited by disadvantages such as increased cost, installation space, and weight. However, Getrag is already working on IVTs for BMW. 1, record 4, English, - infinitely%20variable%20transmission

Les compagnies Fendt, ZF, Claas, Steyr (Case IH) et John Deere se sont lancées dans le développement et la commercialisation de transmissions qui offrent une variation de vitesse infinie entre 0 et la vitesse maximum. Peu importe le manufacturier, le secret de ce concept réside dans l'utilisation simultanée d'un système pompe-moteur hydrostatique et d'un train planétaire. [...] [Le rôle du train planétaire] est de combiner la puissance du moteur à celle de l'hydrostatique et de l'acheminer aux roues. La vitesse dépend de la contribution de l'hydrostatique. 1, record 4, French, - transmission%20%C3%A0%20variation%20infinie
