A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. The torque converter normally takes the place of a mechanical clutch in a vehicle with an automatic transmission, allowing the load to be separated from the power source.
The suprasternal notch (fossa jugularis sternalis), also known as the jugular notch, is part of human anatomy. It is a large, visible dip inbetween the neck and the collarbone.
Concave notches are found on the inferior rib surface and are most commonly a normal variant. Pathologic notching is vascular or neural in origin. Notching associated with aortic coarctation usually affects ribs 4â8 and is rare before the age of 8 years (Fig 11) (13).
