Abstract: A software package defines installation and assembly requirements for a product through simplified representations of a 3D design model having a multiple of component parts which define the product in a data format different than that which created the 3D design model. Data created by the process replaces documentation supplied by traditional installation and assembly drawings. Documentation of the installations and assemblies is accomplished entirely electronically.

Abstract: The flying wedge clutch assembly is a speed actuated coupling device that provides low speed axial load and torque transmission and disengages for increased shaft motion at higher speeds. The flying wedge clutch assembly is a compact and lightweight design, roughly equivalent to a conventional ball bearing assembly in a typical turbopump application. Advantageously, the flying wedge clutch assembly can be used in high speed rotating machines with radial hydrostatic bearings eliminating the speed and life limitations normally attributed to rolling element bearings.
