Abstract
Mechanics of non-rotating black holes was recently generalized by replacing the static evens horizons used in standard treatments with 'isolated horiz ons'. This framework is extended to incorporate dilaton couplings. Since th ere can be gravitational and matter radiation outside isolated horizons, no w the fundamental parameters of the horizon, used in mechanics, must be def ined using only the local structure of the horizon, without reference to in finity. This task is accomplished and the zeroth and first laws are establi shed. To complement the previous work, the entire discussion is formulated tensorially, without any reference to spinors.
