Abstract: A fluid motor is disclosed employed in a turbocharger to spin-up the turbocharger turbine independently of the existing exhaust gas pressure on the exhaust turbine wheel. A fluid turbine wheel is fixedly attached to the rotary mounted shaft of the turbocharger. Fixedly mounted nozzles directed at the fluid turbine wheel present fluid from a controlled source of pressurized fluid. A fixedly mounted collector receiving exhausted fluid from the fluid turbine wheel. The fluid is recycled from the collector to the controlled source of pressurized fluid and then back to the fixedly mounted. The fluid turbine wheel exhausts the fluid with residual energy to the collector. The controlled source of pressurized fluid includes a gear pump with an accumulator and a solenoid valve.

Abstract: A machining system includes a tool head having a yoke, a housing pivotally mounted to the yoke and a collet rotatable in the housing. The collet includes a tool head rocker driven by fluid to allow rocking of a tool relative to the collet in a plane normal to the housing pivotal axis in the yoke. The machining system also includes a source of constant liquid pressure and a source of constant gas pressure. The collet has pressure chambers in communication with the sources of constant pressures to bias the rockable collet assembly. The collet/tool axis is arranged to trail in the direction of relative motion when the contour of the work is moving away from the tool head and to lead when the contour of the work is approaching the tool head.

Abstract: A streetlight includes a light-emitting diode and a passive cooling system. The light-emitting diode is in thermal engagement with the bottom of the cooling system. The cooling system has an upper cooling chamber and a lower cooling chamber displaced from the upper cooling chamber. A thermal flow circuit extends through a domed chamber, the upper cooling chamber, a return passage and the lower cooling chamber. The domed chamber is inside the lower cooling chamber in thermal engagement with the bottom directly over the light-emitting diode and has inlet channels in thermal engagement with the bottom and an outlet to the upper cooling chamber.

Abstract: An improved field emission system and method is provided that involves field emission structures having irregular polarity patterns defined in accordance with one-dimensional codes, where an irregular polarity pattern is at least one of an asymmetrical polarity pattern or an uneven polarity pattern. Such one-dimensional codes define at least one peak force and a plurality of off peak spatial forces corresponding to a plurality of alignments of said first and second field emission structures per code modulo, where a peak force is a spatial force produced when all aligned field emission sources produce an attractive force or all aligned field emission sources produce a repellant force and an off peak spatial force is a spatial force resulting from cancellation of at least one attractive force by at least one repellant force.

Abstract: An improved magnetic attachment is disclosed including a mechanical constraining mechanism and a magnetic structure comprising a plurality of magnetic sources in a polarity pattern. The magnetic structure has an interface boundary when magnetically interfacing with a complementary magnetic structure. The mechanical constraining mechanism constrains the relative motion of the magnetic structure to one or more degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A magnetic system and related method for generating energy is described. Multiple embodiments are described having different shapes, alternative designs to receive different driving forces, varied magnetic structures, and so forth.

Abstract: An improved panel system for covering a glass or plastic surface is provided that involves field emission structures having electric or magnetic field sources. The magnitudes, polarities, and positions of the magnetic or electric field sources are configured to have desirable correlation properties, which may be in accordance with a code. The correlation properties correspond to a desired spatial force function where spatial forces between field emission structures correspond to relative alignment, separation distance, and the spatial force function.

Abstract: A magnetic force profile system and related methods and devices based on a sequence of magnets arranged according to a code and acting on a complementary sequence of non-polarized magnetic attraction elements, for example, iron, soft iron, steel, and others.
