My Miter Gear Transmission consists of a splined input and output shaft each with a splined gear that slides across the shaft, and a double sided conical idler gear with multiple sets of specially shaped teeth mounted on a shaft at a 45 degree angle in relation to the input and output shafts.  The sliding gears on the input and output shafts can be moved to engage any of the sets teeth on the idler gear.  The entire assembly would be enclosed in a sealed housing filled with a gear oil suitable for the specific application.

The obtainable ratios and shifting operation would be very similar to the current gear cluster and roller chain system currently popular on bicycles, but could be contained in a small lightweight package built into the frame of the bike, with the input shaft serving as the pedal crankshaft.

This system works equally well for both parallel shaft and 90 degree shaft transmissions, thereby allowing it to serve easily as a transmission for both chain and shaft drive motorcycles without any extra gearing to change the direction at the front end.

United States Patent Number 7,267,023 B2 was issued on September 11, 2007, protecting this system.   I am currently developing and testing prototypes of this transmission, and am interested in marketing it to interested parties in the bicycle, automotive, and machine tool industries.

The Lube Miser is a special applicator for a new powdered lubricant used in the die casting industry to lubricate the injection plungers on cold chamber die casting machines.  I developed this system for my own use at Ambrit Industries Inc., where I am currently Vice President.  I also founded Aiwal Engineering as a means to sell this technology to other die casting shops before eventually selling Aiwal Engineering to the current owner, Philip Teresi.
