Abstract
A torque biasing device, based on three friction cones and 2 friction rings, can provide differential outputs from a single mechanical input, by varying the interface of the rings to the cones and a speed matching device based on two cones, a friction ring and a clutch can provide smooth clutching operation for a driven shaft.
