Abstract: A lubrication system (400) for a transfer case (200) includes a pump (228) selectively supplying a working fluid to a fluid reservoir of an actuator (226) configured to apply force to a clutch assembly (214) to cause the clutch assembly (214) to move between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The lubrication system also includes a relief valve (302) having a relief valve inlet fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir of the actuator (226) which opens to receive the working fluid based on a threshold pressure level of the working fluid in the fluid reservoir. The lubrication system also includes a trough (306) fluidly coupled to a relief valve outlet of the relief valve (302). The trough (306) carries the working fluid from the relief valve outlet to a bearing assembly (227) associated with at least one of an input shaft (204) and a primary output shaft (206) of the transfer case (200) when the clutch assembly (214) is in the disengaged position.

Abstract: A transfer case of a motor vehicle drivetrain includes a planetary gear set including a ring gear to receive input torque, and a pinion assembly having pinion gears in mesh with the ring gear and a carrier to carry the pinion gears and transmit output torque. A sun gear is in mesh with the pinion gears, is selectively connectable to the carrier and rotatable therewith in a two-wheel drive mode and in a four-wheel-drive high range mode, and is selectively fixable against rotational motion in a four-wheel drive low range mode.

Abstract: A transfer case (14) of a motor vehicle drivetrain includes a planetary gear set (80) including a ring gear (82) to receive input torque, and a pinion assembly (84) having pinion gears (100) in mesh with the ring gear and a carrier (102) to carry the pinion gears and transmit output torque. A sun gear (86) is in mesh with the pinion gears, is selectively connectable to the carrier and rotatable therewith in a two-wheel drive mode and in a four-wheel-drive high range mode, and is selectively fixable against rotational motion in a four-wheel drive low range mode.

Abstract: A method of creating a program management chart comprising the steps of displaying a plurality of tasks within a selected set of data as a first part of the program management chart; and displaying a task that is outside of the selected set of data but that is associated with at least one of the plurality of tasks within the selected set of data as a second part of the program management chart. A method of creating a program management chart comprising the steps of displaying a work breakdown structure tree associated with a project without accessing project data; selecting a subfolder within the work breakdown structure tree; and accessing task data associated with the selected subfolder within the work breakdown structure tree without accessing all of the project data.

Abstract: A system and method for batch-feeding existing data that is formatted for one type of software application to another type of software application. The steps to provide the existing data to another type of software application include assembling the data into one-to-one tables, providing the one-to-one tables to a server, receiving the one-to-one tables at the server, reformatting the data from the one-to-one tables to a reformatted form according to rules of the software application, and entering the data in the reformatted form in a database. The system allows a user to save the existing data in the one-to-one tables on a share drive that is also accessible to a server. The user is then able to initiate the reformatting of the data by emailing the server a request to reformat the data.
