A non-contact magnetic drive assembly with mechanical stop elements for a vacuum deposition system employing a lift-off process having a HULA configuration featuring a plurality of magnets coupled in an annular orientation to a central ring and an orbital ring, each magnet of the orbital ring becomes superposed with a magnet of the central ring as the orbital ring rotates, and a central drive component driving either the central ring, the orbital ring around the central ring or both simultaneously, the central drive component provides a rotational speed allowing non-contact, magnetic drive rotation of the orbital ring around the central ring until a difference between a magnetic drive torque of the superposed magnets and the rotational speed of the central drive component causes the superposed magnets to decouple enabling mechanical drive rotation by interactive contact between a plurality of central ring teeth and a plurality of orbital ring.

A magnetic head for writing information on perpendicular media has a write pole tip and a return pole tip with a media-facing area at least two orders of magnitude greater than that of the write pole tip, the return pole tip is spaced from a trailing corner of the write pole tip by a submicron nonferromagnetic gap. Magnetic flux emanating from the write pole tip is strongest adjacent the trailing corner and directed at an angle that is not perpendicular to the write pole tip. The angled flux provides increased torque to rotate magnetic dipoles in the adjacent media layer that are oriented substantially perpendicular to the disk surface. The media may have a soft magnetic underlayer that is spaced from the write pole tip by a distance similar to the gap spacing.

Disclosed is a wind turbine generator, which effectively uses wind velocity while generating a minimum of noise. Two blade assemblies, which are subjected to natural wind velocity to rotate for driving a power generator, are coaxially mounted one behind the other. When the front end and rear blade assemblies in this configuration both catch a wind to rotate, the rear blade assembly rotates as it catches not only the wind that comes from the front and is rectified by the front blade assembly, but also a wind that is generated by the front blade assembly, which is rotating. This enables the rear blade assembly to rotate with high efficiency and continuously rotate even when the wind velocity is low.

The invention combines the features of a supercharger, a turbocharger and turbo-compounding into one system, utilizing a hydraulic or mechanical continuously variable transmission to drive the turbocharger up to a specific speed or intake manifold pressure and then holding the ideal speed to keep it at the right boost pressure for the engine condition. The benefits of a supercharger, which is primarily good for high torque at low speed, and a turbocharger, which is usually only good for high horsepower at high speeds are merged. Once the exhaust energy begins to provide more work than it takes to drive the intake compressor, the invention recovers that excess energy and uses it to add torque to the crankshaft. As a result, the invention provides the benefits of low speed with high torque and the added value of high speed with higher horsepower or better fuel economy all from one system.

Improved in-wheel, near-wheel and direct-drive electric motors for cars and other vehicles. This motor can be cheaper, lighter, more powerful, more efficient, and more reliable than other direct-drive motors. Its high torque-density and high performance allow it to produce the same peak power as heavier, bigger motors. That helps greatly with the handling issues caused by too much unsprung mass. The motor control system can adapt to the vehicle's operating conditions (like starting, accelerating, turning, braking, and cruising at high speeds). That provides better performance. The motor's low-voltage, low-current design helps reduce heat and weight and leads to lower motor cost. The motor can still operate with some faults, offering “get home” capability. It offers all the benefits of in-wheel motors: efficiency, compactness, direct traction control, quiet, simple driveline. And it adds to those benefits, while reducing or eliminating the drawbacks other in-wheel motors.

A multicylinder internal combustion engine with an exhaust-driven turbocompressor and with a divided exhaust flow has at least two exhaust valves and one intake valve per cylinder. A first exhaust valve is connected to a first exhaust manifold which leads to the turbine of the compressor, while a second exhaust valve is connected to a second exhaust manifold which opens downstream of the turbine. In the top dead center position of the piston, the second exhaust valve and the intake valve are open at the same time for a period. The synchronization between these valves is such that the length of the period during which they are open together increases with the engine speed when the engine is driven at high load. In this way, the possibilities are improved of the engine providing good torque over a wide engine speed range.

The present invention provides miniaturization of brushless motors and brush motors used in electric devices, a ring magnet which simultaneously achieves both high torque and a reduction in cogging torque, a ring magnet with yoke, and a brushless motor. The thin hybrid magnetized ring magnet of the present invention is structured of, in a ring magnet comprised of a plurality of magnetic poles, a radially magnetized main pole and an interface for which the interface of the adjoining main pole is polar anisotropic. When the thin hybrid magnetized ring magnet structured in this manner is applied to a brushless motor, in the case of radial magnetizing, the abrupt change in magnetic flux of the interface between the magnetic poles becomes smooth and cogging torque is greatly reduced due to polar anisotropic magnetization of the interface. At the same time, by polar anisotropically magnetizing the interface between the magnetic poles, magnetic flux is concentrated on the radially magnetized main pole, and in comparison to only radial magnetization, maximum surface magnetic flux improves and it is possible to attain high torque.
