This invention provides a thermal energy battery having an insulated tank contains a multitude of densely packed plastic tubes filled with a phase-change material (PCM, such as ice) that changes from solid to liquid and vice-versa. Energy is stored when the PCM transitions from liquid to solid form, and released when the PCM transitions back from solid to liquid form. The tubes are arranged vertically, span the height of a well-insulated tank, and are immersed in heat transfer fluid (HTF) contained within the tank. The HTF is an aqueous solution with a freezing point temperature below the freezing point temperature of the chosen PCM. The HTF remains in liquid form at all times during the operation of the battery. Diffusers located allow the HTF to be extracted uniformly from the tank, pumped and cooled by a liquid chiller situated outside the tank and then and inserted back into the tank.

A two-wheel-drive sport all-terrain vehicle (ATV) has a front drive geometry in which the scrub radius is zero or negative combined with a low king pin axis angle, which desirably reduces both steering kickback and lateral pull during braking. The scrub radius less than or equal to zero can be achieved by outwardly displacing the king pin axis, which is defined by the upper and lower pivotal joints of the upper and lower A-arms of the front suspension. To displace the king pin axis outwardly, the disk brake and associated caliper are inverted. The disk brake is supported by support arms extending inwardly from the wheel hub. The disk brake includes an aperture to accommodate both the lower pivotal joint, which protrudes through the plane of the disk, and the inverted caliper. The front suspension further includes a knuckle pivotally connected to the A-arms and an integral aluminum spindle. For further compactness, the wheel hub includes angular-contact bearings.

A dilatation balloon is fabricated according to a process that forms cavities and indentations in the balloon and/or catheter sections. A length of tubing is axially elongated and radially expanded in a form to provide the requisite biaxial orientation and strength. Then, an excimer laser or another type of laser or mechanical material removal tool is used to remove the polymeric material, virtually without thermal effects. Cavities in the sleeve sections of the balloon are defined and if desired, indentations in the cone sections are defined. Material removal, particularly near the balloon sleeves enables a thinner, more flexible bonding area between the catheter shaft and the balloon. Further, the indentations along the cone sections enables tighter wrapping of the balloon for a reduced delivery profile. Rigidity near the sleeves is reduced for better maneuverability of the catheter in tortuous passageways.
