A textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The textile sleeve has an elongate textile wall constructed from interlaced yarn. An emulsion of acrylic binder and water-based silicon resin is applied to coat the interlaced yarn, with the acrylic binder providing resistance to end fray of the textile sleeve at temperatures below 150&#xb0; C., and the silicone resin providing resistance to end fray between about 150-500&#xb0; C.

Flexible textile sleeve with end fray resistant, protective coating and method of construction thereof

A traction transmission mechanism comprising toric shaped inner and outer race elements, a series of pairs of transmission rollers arranged between the race elements, an epicycle gear train, and drive shaft and driven shaft or other structure constructively cooperating with the mechanism, to efficiently and compactly furnish output force, in either direction, with the transmission incorporating various load equalization mechanisms to balance roller element tangential and radial forces.

Toroidal transmission with split torque and equalization planetary drive

A traction transmission mechanism comprising toric shaped inner and outer race elements, a series of pairs of transmission rollers arranged between the race elements, and drive shaft and driven shaft or other structure constructively cooperating with the mechanism, to furnish an output force, with the transmission incorporating various load equalization structure to furnish substantially floating characteristics to one of the supported race elements, to provide radial and tangential shifting to the roller elements as arranged between the race elements, and to adjust one of the race elements, or more specifically one of its pair of races, towards or away from each other, to change the traction force generated within the transmission mechanism during its functioning.
