    Abstract: In a first aspect, there is provided a field effect transistor comprising a gate having a modified shape having sharply defined geometric patterns or indents of a dimension that creates de Broglie wave interference. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a spin transistor comprising a first region defining an emitter, a second region defining a semiconductor base, and a third region defining a collector, wherein: the emitter includes a spin polarizer for spin-polarizing charge carriers to be injected from the emitter to the base; and the collector includes a spin filter for spin-filtering charge carriers received at the collector from the base; characterized in that the emitter further includes a tunneling barrier arranged to tunnel inject the spin-polarized charge carriers into the semiconductor base having a modified shape comprising sharply defined geometric patterns or indents of a dimension that creates de Broglie wave interference. According to a third aspect, there is provided a field effect transistor comprising a gate dielectric having a modified shape having sharply defined geometric patterns or indents of a dimension that creates de Broglie wave interference.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for reversing an aircraft on the ground comprising driving the aircraft using at least one self-propelled undercarriage wheel. An apparatus for controlling at least one of speed and at least one direction of an aircraft having a self-propelled nosewheel, on the ground, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a control arm; a control unit; means for transmitting information to said self-propelled nosewheel; means for receiving information at said self-propelled nosewheel; and means for controlling at least one of the speed and direction of said nosewheel; whereby airport ground staff can intuitively control the movements of said aircraft by holding said arm and moving it in the direction of required movement of said aircraft.

    Abstract: A powered self push back method and system for an aircraft are provided to move an aircraft on the ground safely during push back without assistance from an external tug vehicle or the aircraft main engines. The method employs constant cooperative communication and signals between the pilot and the ground crew during the push back process to ensure that push back of the aircraft is safe, efficient, and reduces aircraft turnaround time. The powered self push back system used in conjunction with this method includes at least one powered self-propelled aircraft drive wheel powered by a wheel drive assembly that can be activated by pilot input controls or by remote control exteriorly of or interiorly to the aircraft in response to ground crew signals to activate the driver to rotate the drive wheel in a reverse, push back direction, causing the aircraft to move in the push back direction or in a forward direction for taxi and takeoff in accordance with activation of the controls.
