Abstract: An alternator has a rotor with a plurality of permanent magnets disposed between opposing claw pole members and a field coil. The plurality of permanent magnets are secured to at least one ring-shaped carrier which surrounds the field coil and locates the magnets into appropriate positions between the fingers of the claw pole members.

Abstract: An improvement is provided for an electrically heated glass panel of the type where a resistive film is disposed on the panel and is connected between and along the length of a pair of spaced bus bars each of which is terminated in a respective voltage input terminal and where one of the bus bars includes a connector section to which the resistive film is not connected extending from the input terminal of the bus bar to a junction point on the bus bar beyond which the resistive film is connected to the bus bar. A sensor conductor is disposed on the glass panel and connected from at or beyond the junction point on the one bus bar to a sensor terminal and extends generally adjacent to the connector section of the bus bar.
