Abstract: A flywheel-type battery is integrated within a motor useful for maintaining a flywheel at a constant speed when actuated. It provides an FBEV motor wherein the rotor windings are located on the interior and exterior of the peripherally mounted battery, making the battery casing, itself, the driving force of the motor. The battery housing also supports stator windings that are used in the operation of the motor. The drive train adjusts the torque to the wheels by hydraulics. A computer changes the motor into a generator upon slowing, stopping, or going downhill, which recharges the battery, increasing range. A large number of stator coils, mounted on the housing, and rotor coils mounted on the inner and outer wall of the peripheral battery, may each be separately energized by means of a computer to maintain the flywheel at a constant high speed, once the motor is actuated. This makes maximum torque available to the vehicle at any time for sudden acceleration.

Abstract: A computer cluster architecture including a plurality of CPUs at each of a plurality of nodes. Each CPU has the property of coherency and includes a primary cache. A local bus at each node couples: all the local caches, a local main memory having physical space assignable as-shared space and non-shared space and a local external coherency unit (ECU). An inter-node communication bus couples all the ECUs. Each ECU includes a monitoring section for monitoring the local and inter-node busses and a coherency section for a) responding to a non-shared cache-line request appearing on the local bus by directing the request to the non-shared space of the local memory and b) responding to a shared cache-line request appearing on the local bus by examining its coherence state to further determine if inter-node action is required to service the request and, if such action is required, transmitting a unique identifier and a coherency command to all the other ECUs.

Abstract: Heat transmission through a solid window is reduced by:A. providing a light transparent plastic sheet having a transparent metal layer on one surface of the sheet, the layer characterized as reflective to incident heat radiation, and applying the sheet to the window, andB. providing an oil film at the interface between the sheet and window to retain the sheet to the window, andC. smoothing the sheet to eliminate any bubbles that form at the interface.
