From a Xerox press release on June 11, 2010. I think it works by expanding or contracting the diameter of the gear. Brilliant idea! Xerox - Student innovation recognised by Xerox at this year's Made in Brunel show

Winner of the Made in Brunel Xerox Innovation Award 2010:

Chris Holloway's 'Link gear system' for bicycles offers a completely new way to change gear. The system uses one single sprocket to give different ratios for changing gear rather than the traditional system that uses a number of sprockets and drags the chain. The design can significantly improve performance, making it ideal for the professional race setting.

Chris is 21, from Kent and is studying Industrial Design Bsc
