Abstract: A disconnect system for selectively engaging and disengaging one or more shafts of a power train unit. The disconnect system includes a plurality of cam members and an electromagnetic coil. At least one cam member rotates at the same speed as an input shaft. At least one cam member rotates at variable speeds. In operation, the electromagnetic coil is energized by rotation of the input shaft for selectively activating a clutch to engage one or more of the cams to connect and disconnect one or more output shafts.

Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly includes a flexible photovoltaic module, a flexible back barrier layer, and electrically conductive first and second flexible bus bars. The photovoltaic module includes opposing front and back outer surfaces and first and second electrical contacts on the front outer surface. The photovoltaic module is adapted to generate an electrical potential difference between the first and second electrical contacts in response to light incident on the front outer surface. The flexible back barrier layer is disposed on the back outer surface of the photovoltaic module. The electrically conductive first and second flexible bus bars are electrically coupled to the first and second electrical contacts, respectively, and the first and second flexible bus bars wrap around the flexible photovoltaic module and extend through the back barrier layer.
