摘要:
A method is provided for optimally engineering a toroidal transmission having a desired input/output ratio to implement the desired ratio of the transmission while meeting the torque and efficiency requirements of the design. Nanoparticle technology is used to manufacture the stator walls to replace the cutting and milling procedures now in use. A novel Mitchell bearing sleeve and its particular hydrodynamic lubrication and cooling method are proposed herein, as well as the introduction of a novel, ultra smooth, amorphous non-oxidizing contact sleeve material used to form the contact sleeve of the drive rollers. A novel self-lubricating system is further provided that includes an oil reservoir disposed within an output shaft of the transmission.

An electromagnetic radiation-absorbing particles comprising cores; a first shell encapsulating the core; and at least one additional shell encapsulating the first shell. The first shell has the refractive index different from the refractive index of the core and the refractive index of the at least one additional shell.

Composite materials that can be used to block ultraviolet radiation of a selected wavelength range are disclosed. The materials include dispersions of particles that exhibit optical resonance behavior, resulting in absorption cross-sections that substantially exceed the particles' geometric cross-sections. The particles are preferably manufactured as uniform nanosize encapsulated spheres, and dispersed evenly within a carrier material. Either the inner core or the outer shell of the particles comprises a conducting material exhibiting plasmon (Froehlich) resonance in a desired spectral band. The large absorption cross-sections ensure that a relatively small volume of particles will render the composite material fully opaque (or nearly so) to incident radiation of the resonance wavelength, blocking harmful radiation. The materials of the present invention can be used in manufacturing sunscreens, UV filters and blockers, ink, paints, lotions, gels, films, textiles, wound dressing and other solids having desired ultraviolet radiation-absorbing properties. The materials of the present invention can be used in systems consisting of reflecting substances such as paper or transparent support such as plastic or glass films. The particles can be further embedded in transparent plastic or glass beads to ensure a minimal distance between the particles.
摘要:
An electromagnetic radiation-absorbing particle comprising a core and at least one shell. The shell encapsulates the core and either the core or the shell comprises a conductive material. In one embodiment the core comprises a first conductive material and the shell comprises a second conductive material different from the first conductive material. In another embodiment either the core or the shell comprises a refracting material.

An electrostatic image of binary data representing elements if formed on a particular electrophotographic member disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,025,339. The electrostatic image is toned and the toned image is transferred to a storage medium. The storage medium is in the form of an extended length of dual-layer transparent synthetic resin material. One of the layers has a softening range of temperature less than the substrate. At the transfer, the one layer is heated and the toned image is pressed into the one layer. The storage medium carrying the toned image then is wound up on a storage or take-up spool while fresh medium is fed from a supply spool. The two spools are carried by a housing and the housing, spools and medium form an optical mass memory cassette. Reading of the data occurs by deflecting rays of light across the medium and the light that is transmitted through and blocked by the medium is sensed in bar sensors, one for each ray. The rays are deflected across the medium in a pattern similar to the pattern used for imaging the electrophotographic member. The electrical signals from the sensors are used to produce binary data representing the data stored on the medium.

摘要:
Composite materials that can be used to block radiation of a selected wavelength range or provide highly pure colors are disclosed. The materials include dispersions of particles that exhibit optical resonance behavior, resulting in the radiation absorption cross-sections that substantially exceed the particles' geometric cross-sections. The particles are preferably manufactured as uniform nanosize encapsulated spheres, and dispersed evenly within a carrier material. Either the inner core or the outer shell of the particles comprises a conducting material exhibiting plasmon (Froehlich) resonance in a desired spectral band. The large absorption cross-sections ensure that a relatively small volume of particles will render the composite material fully opaque (or nearly so) to incident radiation of the resonance wavelength, blocking harmful radiation or producing highly pure colors. The materials of the present invention can be used in manufacturing ink, paints, lotions, gels, films, textiles and other solids having desired color properties. The materials of the present invention can be used in systems consisting of reflecting substances such as paper or transparent support such as plastic or glass films. The particles can be further embedded in transparent plastic or glass beads to ensure a minimal distance between the particles.
摘要:
A rotary motion machine and method of operation that includes at least one radially expandable piston defining an inner chamber having a volume that varies upon radial expansion and contraction of the piston, a core defining, at least in part, a cylinder in which the piston is positioned, a rotor rotationally movable relative to the core and being rotated by a relatively incompressible fluid driven by expansion of the piston, and at least one magnet associated with the rotor that, upon rotation of the rotor, generates electricity in a cooperatively arranged coil. A novel fuel injector atomizes and injects fuel along the length of the inner chamber. The piston can include a spiral of thin, flexible foil of amorphous material having a strip of a crystalline material for causing the spiral to expand after contraction. In one embodiment, the spiral has a melting temperature of about 3,200 degrees Celsius.

A submersible turbine apparatus including first and second buoyant turbine units that are connected to each other side by side, and laterally apart from each other. Each turbine unit can include turbine blades that are rotatably mounted about an elongate stationary axle. A lower elongate sealed chamber can be centrally connected to the first and second turbine units below the stationary axles in a manner to provide a center of gravity centrally positioned below the laterally spaced buoyant first and second turbine units to stabilize the turbine apparatus when submersed.
