摘要： A toroidal transmission includes a stator having a plurality of helical races that together define a toroidal cavity having an axis, and first and second shafts rotatable about the axis, the first shaft carrying a worm, the second shaft carrying a plurality of multiple-tooth rotors arranged in a circle about the axis so that the rotor teeth are facing toward the axis and drivingly engage the worm and the rotor teeth facing away from the axis extend into the cavity and drivingly engage the races. The transmission has a first mounting plate having an opening therein receiving the first shaft and a second mounting plate having an opening therein receiving the second shaft, the plates being positioned on opposite sides of the rotors perpendicular to the axis. The stator comprises a circular array of individual arcuate twisted ribs spaced apart about the axis, each rib having one end connected to the first plate and its other end connected to the second plate so that portions of the away-facing rotor teeth project into the spaces between the ribs, which spaces thus constitute the stator races. A method of assembling the transmission is also disclosed as are a method and apparatus for making the transmission's stator.

摘要： A scanning system for optoelectronically recorded signal patterns stored in a plural layer medium consisting of inorganic materials throughout and featuring a dielectric storage layer at the surface which faces an electron beam source. The source beam first searches for a position mark associated with an image frame on the medium in order to establish a precise home position of the beam and associated coordinate axes prior to commencing the scan operation on that medium frame. Then the beam scans a raster on the medium spending a certain dwell time at each resolution element of the raster. Each time a frame is reached, the system is capable of altering the beam current in response to a pre-recorded exposure code in order to achieve the optimal retrieval of all information stored image-wise within said frame. The system then collects electrons emitted from the medium due to the scanning beam in a collector, which incorporates a highly sensitive amplifier, for further processing, with the medium being movable frame by frame as desired.

摘要： Helical races are formed in a curved work-piece using a suitable cutting tool by performing a double rotation of the tool and work-piece about orthogonal axes. The double rotation maintains the tool at a uniform attack angle relative to the work-piece as it forms each race with the result that the race has a uniform cross-section along its entire length.

摘要： An expandable piston rotary engine includes a core having a substantially circular periphery and central axis, and a rotor/flywheel mounted concentrically for rotation relative to the core. The core defines a plurality of cylinders spaced symmetrically about, and open at, the periphery of the core. Each cylinder contains a radially expandable, substantially cylindrical piston formed of a relatively thin web of material, such as sapphire or amorphous steel. The piston web material is coiled about its associated cylinder axis, and defines an internal combustion chamber whose diameter, and volume, vary in response to a relative coiling and uncoiling of the web in its cylinder. The inner surface of the rotor/flywheel defines with the periphery of the core, the cylinders and the outer surfaces of the pistons a closed space for a hydraulic fluid. Intake and exhaust valves and fuel igniters are associated with each of the cylinders. The core and other engine components are formed of lightweight ceramic materials capable of withstanding very high operating temperatures. By driving the rotor shaft relative to the core, and changing the valving to the piston chambers, the engine may be converted for use as a compressor or fluid pump.

摘要： A printing ink comprises a clear, transparent, polymeric carrier material and uniform, colloidal size charged color particles evenly dispersed therein. The carrier and the particles are adhesively bonded to one another so as to form a matrix which can collectively respond to an externally imposed electrostatic field to promote co-movement of a "bite" of ink to an imaging medium without change of the bulk particle/carrier ratio. During the printing process, the ink is melted and exposed to electrostatically charged latent image areas on a heated image cylinder, resulting in the transfer of the ink thereto in proportion to the electrostatic field strength. The ink exhibits a relatively sharp liquid-to-solid transition, thereby enabling rapid ink solidification and complete transfer from the imaging medium to the relatively cool printing substrate. Also disclosed is a printing method and apparatus that facilitate continuous, variable and on-demand color printing in conjunction with the ink. Use of essentially monodispersed, color-coated, colloidal size, spherical particles in the ink results in excellent color purity and chromaticity range.

摘要： Radiation-absorptive materials, suitable for fabrication into packages, sheets, inks, paints, decorative surface treatments, lotions, creams, and gels are disclosed. The materials exploit certain optical properties associated with uniform, spherical, nanosize particles to provide complete radiation absorption, over a selected bandwidth, at low concentration. One type of particle exhibits an "absorption edge" at a chosen wavelength, transmitting radiation whose wavelength exceeds the characteristic bandgap wavelength, while effectively absorbing all radiation with wavelengths smaller than that minimum. Another type of particle exhibits "optical resonance," which causes radiation of a characteristic wavelength to interact with the particles so as to produce self-reinforcing internal reflections that strongly enhance the amplitude of the radiation trapped within the particle.

摘要： A method of delivering particles into a cellular specimen such that there is minimal disruption or damage to the specimen. In accordance with the method, a monodispersion of tiny acicular magnetizable particles is formed and that dispersion is placed in contact with the specimen. Then the dispersed particles are subjected to a nonuniform converging magnetic field having an axis of convergence which intersects a selected target area in the specimen and whose field lines converge to a focal point proximal to the specimen. Under the influence of the field, the particles align themselves with the field lines and travel into the specimen toward the focal point beyond the specimen. The method may be used to deliver particles at the cellular, microbial, tissue and organ levels and the agents that are deliverable by the method run the gamut from radiation, heat, DNA and diverse biological and chemical materials. Apparatus for practicing the method at these different levels are also disclosed.

摘要： An optoelectronic signal recording and storage medium including a base layer, a conductive layer, a photoconductive layer and storage layer has a coherent crystal morphology throughout, even though the chemical and electrical properties of its layers are by choice dramatically different. The base layer is preferably made of monocrystalline sapphire grown in a manner as to allow the growth of the other layers directly on a surface of the base layer without the need to grind and polish that surface, thereby minimizing internal defects in the medium. The monocrystalline base layer also allows the acceptance of exeptionally uniformly distributed charges over wide areas of the medium, thereby enabling the medium to locally record and store minutely differing optoelectronic signals on a background of minimal noise, thus facilitating low light level electronic or optical recording and long term storage of signals and minimal energy readout of those stored signals. The medium base layer can be thin enough to be flexible and transparent and yet to have great strength to provide a firm foundation for the other medium layers. A method of making the medium is also disclosed.

摘要： An electrical motor includes a stator housing having a toroidally shaped inner cavity. A plurality of stator electromagnets are mounted along the cavity wall in a plurality of parallel helical paths. A plurality of rotor members are rotatively mounted at fixed, spaced-apart angular positions around a ring shaft whose axis is coincident with the axis of the toroidal cavity. Each rotor member includes a plurality of permanent magnets mounted around its circumference. A linear output shaft has one end connected to the ring shaft and its other end extending out of the stator housing. By properly energizing the stator electromagnets, electromagnetic fields set up by them and the rotor magnets interact to produce torque which causes the rotor members to rotate about the ring shaft and to precess laterally causing the ring shaft, and attached linear output shaft, to rotate relative to the stator housing. The toroidal configuration of the motor provides a larger volume electromagnetic field interaction space than conventional cylindrical motors which yields higher output powers and higher torques. The motor, which also has an inherent speed reduction feature, may be operated in reverse as an electrical generator.
