The invention is a hybrid wheel apparatus with a hybrid roadway apparatus that greatly reduces the energy lost due to rolling resistance where operation is on the hybrid roadway, but the system is configured to allow operation on conventional roads as needed.The hybrid wheel system is a steel wheel used in combination with a rubber tired wheel. The hybrid roadway is a low profile steel rail fixed to the otherwise conventional road surface, which is preferably concrete but could also be the very common asphalt composition.Where roadways are appropriately equipped with rails, the rail top surface is elevated over the roadway surface, and dimensions are set so that most of load force is carried on the steel wheel for general forward travel. Where the rail is absent the load is carried on the rubber tire, and the steel wheel is elevated above the roadway surface such that contact between the steel wheel and the roadway is prevented.

In the opto-electronic integrated circuit, an optical waveguide in which a sapphire substrate for an SOS substrate is formed as a lower clad and a silicon film is formed as a core, an electronic integrated circuit formed in the silicon film, and grooves for fixing optical fibers are formed monolithically. Further, a photodiode array and a laser diode array are mounted on a hybrid basis. Since the lower clad of the optical waveguide is used as the sapphire substrate and the core is used as the silicon film, a difference in refractive index can be made large sufficiently, thus resulting in thinning of the silicon film. It is therefore possible to shorten the time required to process the core and the like. Further, since the electronic integrated circuit is formed on the sapphire substrate, the high-frequency characteristics are enhanced.
