Abstract: A coaxial inductive power transfer and distribution apparatus is disclosed that includes a primary conductor that is stationary and a mobile secondary coil magnetically coupled to the stationary primary conductor to provide an inductive power transfer therebetween. The primary and secondary coils are disposed within a return conductor that is stationary and acts as a return path for current flowing in the primary center conductor. The primary conductor is mechanically connected to the interior surface of the return conductor to ensure the position stability of the primary conductor with respect to the secondary coil. The return conductor also includes an air gap in which a support member for the mobile secondary coil and structure is disposed within. The mobile secondary coil and structure includes a toroidal core composed of a high permeability material that is coaxially disposed about, and spaced apart from, the primary conductor.

Abstract: Thin film coatings for solid state storage batteries and electrochromic energy conservation devices are now formed on low temperature glass and plastic substrates by an ion-assisted RF deposition process. The attachment of such coated glass or plastic substrates to existing windows in situ allows ordinary plate glass windows in homes, office buildings and factories to be converted to "smart-windows" resulting in a substantial savings in heating and air conditioning costs.

Abstract: A multilayer, thin film solid state ionic device usable as an electrochromic window and/or as a rechargeable battery and a method for its manufacture. In one embodiment, the device comprises a transparent substrate and a thin film, five layered coating, the coating being deposited onto the substrate. The device is made by depositing a first layer of indium tin oxide onto the substrate, depositing a second layer of tungsten trioxide onto the first layer, inserting a quantity of lithium ions into the second layer so as to form a lithium-enriched second layer, depositing a third layer of lithium niobate onto the lithium-enriched second layer, sputter depositing a fourth layer of LiCoO.sub.

Abstract: A buried junction MOS memory capacitor target device for electron beam addressable READ/WRITE memories is described along with a method of using the same. The memory capacitor target structure comprises a planar semiconductor substrate of various degrees of complexity having a highly conducting coating providing a low resistance ohmic contact to the substrate backside and an N-type planar semiconductor overlayer forming with the substrate topside a bipolar detector junction. An insulating layer overlies the N-type layer and a conducting coating overlies the insulating layer. The device is employed with an electron beam of sufficient energy to penetrate the latter two layers and to produce carrier-pairs in the N-type overlayer. Electrical access to the device is provided by one contact to the substrate backside and one contact to the conducting coating overlying the insulator.
