- *Abstract
-
- *Background
- A new hydraulic system topology developed by researchers at Purdue University offers improved efficiency, reliability, and performance. The fluid power system allows energy recovery from assistive actuator loads to be immediately used by other resistive loads in the system or stored in a common rail accumulator for later use.
