  • Patent number: 8210544
    Abstract: Apparatus for preventing incorrect installation of machinery components together includes a tab, pin and pin-receiving hole. The tab on the seal plate protrudes angularly from its periphery and laterally beyond it so as to prevent incorrect installation of two seal plates together in a faulty sealing relationship with machinery components by their tabs making interfering contact with one another producing a visible gap between the two seal plates. The pin is mounted on and protrudes axially from a surface of one machinery component facing the seal plate and prevents incorrect installation of the machinery components together in a faulty sealing relationship without the seal plate between them by the pin contacting the surface of the other machinery component and producing a gap between the machinery components. The hole extends through the seal plate to receive the pin within it when one seal plate is correctly installed between the machinery components.

  • Publication number: 20110241465
    Abstract: A power system for a vehicle may comprise an electric machine interposed between an engine and a transmission of the vehicle. The electric machine may comprise an exciter generator with exciter armature windings surrounding an axis, a main generator with main field windings surrounding the axis so that the exciter generator and the main generator are concentric and a rotor coaxial with the axis and the rotor supporting the exciter armature windings and the main field windings. The rotor may have a first end attached to the engine power output shaft and a second end adapted to deliver mechanical power from the engine to the transmission.
