Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention may provide textured surfaces to be lubricated, the texturing to enhance the effectiveness of the intended nano-lubrication. The texturing may make asperities and depressions in the surface to be lubricated. This texturing may be executed, for example, by chemical etching, laser etching, or other techniques. This texturing may create locations in the lubricated surface to hold or anchor the intended nano-lubricants, to facilitate the creation of a tribo-film on the surface when the lubricated surface is used under pressure, and resulting in delivery of multiple chemistries from the nano-lubricant.

Abstract:
A rotational bearing has an outer surface and an outer layer attached to the outer surface of the bearing by overmolding, bonding or mechanical fasteners. The outer layer has an outer surface which rotatably engages a bearing surface of a track along which the bearing device is adapted to travel, and is of a material softer than the material of the track bearing surface, such as a polymer or a relatively soft metal. In one example, the bearing is rotatably attached to a foot link carrying a foot engaging platform of a human powered conveyance or exercise system.
