Abstract: The present invention relates to a power transmission (10) that is interposed between the internal combustion engine (11) and the drive ratio selection transmission (39) of a vehicle. A motor/generator (14) is operatively connected to the power transmission, and the power transmission selectively adds and subtracts torque provided by the motor/generator to the torque provided by the internal combustion engine. The power transmission effects the operative interconnection between both the internal combustion engine and the motor/generator to the drive ratio selection transmission. The power transmission employs compounded first and second planetary gear sets (19,21). A common gear member (16) serves not only as the ring gear for the first planetary gear set but also as the sun gear for the second planetary gear set. The power transmission provides operating advantages not possible with prior art mechanisms, and these advantages allow the internal combustion engine to operate with desirable engine emissions.

Abstract: A rotatable reel apparatus (10) for use in association with an axle (100) and the like, for operably winding, storing, transporting and unwinding various windable materials. A core member (12), having an inner peripheral surface (23) and an interior region (24), is operably sandwiched between a first (14) and second (16) corrugated paper platform member. The platform members (14,16) include a spindle region (18,18'), a plurality of core attachment flaps (31-34,36-39) and a plurality of spaced apart apertures (41-45). Each of the apertures (41-45) include distal edges (61-64) and proximal edges (56-59) wherein each of the proximal edges (56-59) are operably positioned adjacent the peripheral surface (23) of the core member (12), and each of the distal edges (61-64) collectively serve to define the outer periphery of the spindle region (18). The core attachment flaps (31-34,36-39) operably depend from each of the proximal edges (56-59) of the spaced apart apertures (41-45) and are folded inwardly toward, and into operable secured contact with, a corresponding portion of either the inner or outer peripheral surface of the core member. A concentrically positioned circular slot (50,50') is integrally formed within the spindle region of each of the platform members (14,16) to facilitate operable and aligned cooperation with, and rotation about the axle.

Abstract: A thin layer of epitaxial silicon is grown at low temperatures at or below 300°C by the steps of providing a substrate, forming an oriented dielectric buffer layer on the substrate and growing epitaxial silicon on the buffer layer. Preferably the substrate has a glass surface and the oriented buffer layer is cubic ZrO 2 . The buffer layer is preferably oriented by bombarding it with a directed ion beam while the buffer layer is being deposited on the substrate. For example, a buffer layer of (100) cubic ZrO 2  can be grown at a temperature as low as 300°C. The oriented cubic ZrO 2  is an excellent buffer for epitaxial silicon on glass due to a good match of lattice parameters with silicon and a good match of thermal expansion coefficients with glass. An oriented (100) silicon epitaxial film can then be grown on the epitaxial template provided by the buffer layer at a temperature as low as 250°C. This low temperature process for producing epitaxial films offers multiple advantages: (1) reduced silicon interfacial defect densities and enlarged grain size permitting improved thin film transistor performance due to a lowered "off" current; (2) higher electron mobility permitting the fabrication of integrated displays; (3) lower temperature processing permitting the use of inexpensive glass substrates such as borosilicates; (4) sufficiently low temperature processing to permit the use of new lightweight substrates such as glass-coated polymeric materials (glass-coated plastics) which can substantially reduce the weight of displays and thus enhance the portability of portable computers, video telephones, and personal communicators; and (5) the use of new buffer layers such as ZrO 2  which can block the diffusion of Na ions from the substrate.

Abstract: An interferometer for measuring the wavelength of a beam of light. A beam splitter (30) splits a reference light beam of known wavelength into first and second optical reference paths (A, B). The beam splitter also splits an input light beam of unknown wavelength into first and second optical paths (C, D). The first optical path (C) is similar to the first optical reference path (A), and the second optical path (D) is similar to the second optical reference path (B). Light in the reference paths (A, B) propagates oppositely to light in the corresponding paths (C, D). Light propagating along the optical paths and optical reference paths enters a rotating periscope (32) having parallel mirrors (32a, 32b) carried by a rotating platform (32c). The rotating periscope continuously varies the lengths of the paths. A reflector (34 and 36) reflects the light in the various paths back through the periscope to the beam splitter (30) which recombines the light from the first and second optical paths (C, D) into an interference signal and the light from the first and second optical reference paths (A, B) into a reference interference signal. A pair of detectors (56, 58) detect these interference signals and an electronic circuit (60) uses the detector outputs to determine the wavelength of the input light beam.
