If you're talking anything like materials technology development applied to rotary sealing surfaces, no its not that deep. However, it does include some paragraphs about anti-reversion lips in exhaust ports, a full page discussing the thermal bypass pellet in the e-shaft, and lots of neat graphs on temperature distribution within the engine and rotor face.

Here's the sections:
*) Engine History & Identification
*) Rotary Engine Fundamentals
*) Component Selection & Modifications
*) Housings & Portings
*) Rotors, Seals, & Internals
*) Intake & Fuel Systems
*) Exhaust Systems
*) Engine Management & Ignition Systems
*) Oil & Lubrication Systems
*) Forced Induction
*) Nitrous, Water & Alcohol Injection
