A compact longitudinal transmission has an input shaft rotatably supported in a front end wall, an output shaft rotatably supported in a rear end wall, and a housing interconnecting the front end wall and the rear end wall. The state machine includes a next state logic comprising a non-volatile memory including a resistivity-sensitive memory element and receiving an input, a state storage device connected to the next state logic including a connection to provide a state of the state machine to the next state logic, and an output connect to the state register to output the state of the state machine. A heat conduction pipe includes a portion received in a longitudinal hole of the jacket.
