Abstract: A reaction-jet helicopter having an air compressor and a power source operable to power the compressor. The air compressor is in fluid communication with a cavity in a rotor blade of the reaction-jet helicopter. The rotor blade has one or more openings for the expulsion of compressed air from the cavity thereby resulting in rotation of the rotor blade. The reaction jet helicopter further has an arrangement for manipulating airflow between the compressor and the one or more openings. This results in reduced losses of energy as the airflow travels from the compressor to the one or more openings.

Abstract: Implanting ions to form a cleave layer in a semiconductor device causes damage to sensitive materials such as high-K dielectrics. In a process for forming a cleave layer and repairing damage caused by ion implantation, ions are implanted through a circuit layer of a substrate to form a cleave plane. The substrate is exposed to a hydrogen gas mixture for a first time at a first temperature to repair damage caused by the implanted ions. A cleaving process may then be performed, and the cleaved substrate may be stacked in a 3DIC structure.

Abstract: A hypotrochoid positive-displacement machine includes an inner rotor and an outer rotor with intermeshing projections. During rotation of the rotors, the inward-most tips of the outer rotor trace hypotrochoid paths relative to the inner rotor. A driven rotor, for example the inner rotor, drives a driven rotor, for example the outer rotor, by contact between driving surfaces and driven surfaces of the respective rotors. Improvements are provided, for example in relation to the contact between the rotors. In use of the device contact between the driving surfaces and driven surfaces may move radially outward from a point of initial contact. The driving or driven surfaces or both may be arranged to flex under contact between the rotors. The driving surfaces may be convex. The driven surfaces may be concave.
