Inventor: BOWMAN LARRY W
IPC: B60K17/36
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: A variable engagement mechanism (10) for a dual wheel assembly is
provided. The mechanism includes a spindle (12) having a drive axle (14)
defining a rotational axis (A). A first wheel hub (16) is supported on
the spindle and coupled to the drive axle for being rotatably driven
about the rotational axis. A second wheel hub (18) is arranged adjacent
to the first wheel hub and is rotatable relative to the first wheel hub
about the rotational axis. Friction members (24,26) are provided between
the first and second wheel hub. An actuator (30) forces the friction
members into engagement with one another to permit transfer of torque
between the wheel hubs. The actuator may be operator controlled or
integrated with a braking or other vehicle control system. In this
manner, the first and second wheel hub may be selectively locked
together for increased traction and/or braking. A differential assembly
may be used between the first and second wheel hubs so that both wheels
may be driven at all times while being permitted to rotate relative to
one another.

Abstract: In dual fuel engines, it is desirable to have injection of two distinct
quantities of liquid fuel. Engines with these operating requirements have
typically used two separate fuel injectors, or two separate nozzle assemblies, to
satisfy this need. However, these systems can be rather complex and difficult to
control. In addition, engineers have learned that fuel injectors having direct
control have better performance which can increase engine efficiency. Therefore,
the present invention addresses the needs of engines desiring injection of two
distinct quantities of fuel, such as dual fuel engines, by utilizing a direct control
fuel injector (16) having a dual concentric check needle (80,90) having separate orifices (54,54') for the pilot
and main injections.

Abstract: An interferometer includes a waveguide core (2),
and thin film heaters (4a,4b) with widths W1 and W2.
The thin film heaters are mounted directly above the
waveguide core, and operate as two types of different
annealing regions. The annealing, which is carried
out by supplying current to the thin film heaters
(4a,4b), can alter the quality of the cladding (3),
and change the stress applied on the waveguide core
(2), thereby making it possible to control the
polarization dependency. Thus changing the width of
the thin film heaters (4a,4b) and/or the amount of the
supply current thereto enables the permanent control
of the effective refractive index (birefringence
index) independently in the transverse electric
polarization mode and the transverse magnetic
polarization mode. This enables the transverse
electric polarization mode to be adjusted to a phase
difference of λ/2, and the transverse magnetic
polarization mode to a phase difference of zero.
