Abstract
A torque transmission apparatus including: a stationary member, a movable member movable relative to the stationary member in a first direction, and a cavity defined between the stationary member and the movable member for retaining a fluid convertible between a default physical state during which the fluid exerts a force against the movable member in a second direction opposite to the first direction and a temporary physical state during which the force exerted against the movable member is reduced in response to application of a temporary magnetic flux.
