Abstract:
An infinitely variable transmission (IVT) provides a plurality of transmission modes. At least one mode is a serial mode and at least one other mode is a split-path mode. The serial mode may provide a powered zero and creeper ground speeds. The split-path mode(s) may provide higher field speeds.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of operating an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) for transferring power from at least one of an engine and an infinitely variable power source (IVP), via a variator, to an output, the method comprising:\n operating the IVT in a serial mode in which the IVT connects the IVP to the output to provide a serial power from the IVP to the output for rotating the output at a first range of rotational speeds, wherein the IVT, in the serial mode, disconnects the engine from the output; operating the IVT in at least one split-path mode in which the variator receives engine power from the engine and IVP power from the IVP, and the variator outputs combined power from the IVP and the engine for rotating the output at a second range of rotational speeds; and wherein the first range of rotational speeds is lower than the second range of rotational speeds.
