Abstract: A vehicle includes a host display that has a graphic user interface that incorporates a touchscreen. At least a portion of the host display includes a charging interface. A docking port is disposed proximate the host display. The docking port is configured to selectively couple with a portable computing device that has a portable display. Engagement of the portable computing device with the docking port places the portable display of the portable computing device in front of the charging interface of the host display. A controller of the host display is placed in electrical communication with the portable computing device to charge a battery cell of the portable computing device. Engagement further adjusts the graphic user interface of the host display to selectively assimilate the portable display of the portable computing device to define the portable display as an annexed display of the host display.

Abstract: A method for retrofitting an existing EMD 567/645 two-cycle diesel engine to reduce exhaust emissions includes the steps of removing mechanical fuel injectors and associated components and installing of electronic unit fuel injectors and associated components. Also disclosed is a kit for retrofitting an existing EMD 567/645 two-cycle diesel engine to reduce exhaust emissions.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for sensing the speed of an EMD 567/645/710 two-cycle diesel engine having a crankcase, electronic fuel injectors and an electronic control system for controlling the electronic fuel injectors. The device includes a spline shaft sized for insertion into the crankcase of the engine so that the spline shaft rotates with the engine, a gear operably secured to the spline shaft to rotate with the spline shaft and sized to rotate with the engine in a 1:1 ratio, and at least one electronic sensor located adjacent the gear to sense rotation of the gear. The at least one electronic sensor is connectable to the electronic control system to provide electronic signals to the electronic control system for determining when to inject fuel with the electronic fuel injectors. Also disclosed is a method for retrofitting the engine and a kit for retrofitting the engine.
