Abstract: Methods and systems for an electric drive assembly are provided herein. In one example, an electric drive system is provided that includes two multi-motor drive units with associated planetary gear reductions that have asymmetric gear ratios. The planetary gear reduction in each drive unit includes a ring gear and a sun gear that are rotationally coupled to a pair of motors and a carrier rotationally coupled to an output gear that interfaces with a gear reduction of an axle assembly.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a shift assembly for a vehicle transmission. In one example, a shift assembly for a transmission includes a first barrel cam including a first cam track; a second barrel cam arranged coaxially with the first barrel cam and including a second cam track; a first motor configured to drive the first barrel cam independent of the second barrel cam; and a second motor configured to drive the second barrel cam independent of the first barrel cam.

Abstract: Implementations of antennas may include a meandering T-matching structure, a first meandering feed line coupled to the meandering T-matching structure, and a first radiating part coupled to the first meandering feed line. Implementations may include a second meandering feed line coupled to the meandering T-matching structure, and a second radiating part coupled to the meandering feed line. A gap may physically separate the first meandering feed line and the second meandering feed line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a proppant coated with: at least one water-soluble and/or water-swellable polymers; and at least one composition comprising at least one sequestering agent; the sequestering agent being in the layer of water soluble and/or water-swellable polymer and/or in another layer. The invention also relates to the use of this proppant for hydraulic fracturing and especially when the hydraulic fracturing fluid comprises divalent cations in a proportion equal or greater to 0.1 weight %.

Abstract: An electronic device can include a substrate, lower and upper semiconductor layers over the substrate, and a doped region at the interface between the lower and upper semiconductor layers. The doped region can have a conductivity type opposite that of a dopant within the lower semiconductor layer. Within the lower semiconductor layer, the dopant can have a dopant concentration profile that has a relatively steeper portion adjacent to the substrate, another relatively steeper portion adjacent to an interface between the first and second semiconductor layers, and a relatively flatter portion between the relative steeper portions. A diode lies at a pn junction where a second dopant concentration profile of the first doped region intersects the relatively flatter portion of the first dopant concentration profile. The electronic device can be formed using different processes described herein.

Abstract: An educational board game includes a planar game board having printed thereon a movement path consisting of a contiguous series of numbered spaces. Various groups of spaces are set to receive panels from a “Theme Pack.” The “Theme Pack” itself is comprised of character image panels, illustrated panels, instruction panels and question cards directly related to a given book or subject matter. Different “Theme Packs” can be used with the same game board in order to incorporate multiple books and accommodate different age groups. A magnetic interaction between the game board and panels ensures that the latter remain in position on the board. The method of play involves correctly answering questions related to a given book or “Theme Pack” in order to advance along the movement path from start to finish.
