General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

H02K 100

US Classification:

310217

Abstract:

An improved laminated rotor assembly is disclosed which features a novel key/keyway design that prevents lamination reversal while permitting indexing of successive laminae for the distribution of dimensional variations thereof. There are multiple, symmetrically oriented keyways, each keyway having an identical asymmetrical profile. The symmetrical distribution of identical profile keyways permits indexing of successive laminae, and the asymmetrical keyway profiles prevent lamination reversal. In the preferred embodiment, two or three keyways are employed, each key and keyway being formed in the shape of a step having at least two different radial dimensions.

Abstract:

A modular, scalable prescription dispensing and verification system includes a four-tiered central conveyor, dispensing control system with stored patient orders for creating dispensing and routing itineraries, carriers transporting itineraries and dispensed medications, induction station, pairs of processing stations divided by the conveyor, including automated and manual dispensing, verification, cold chain, and ambient packaging. Crossover conveyors transport carriers between dispensing station pair members for dispensing multiple products per station pair. One conveyor tier returns empty carriers to induction, another transports carriers from each dispensing station to verification, then to packaging, another transports carriers from induction to dispensing, then to additional dispensing, another conveys carriers from induction to dispensing stations. Carrier stops halt carriers at stations for removal for processing, replacement, and transport to the next station, or deposit on another tier and transport to a different station. The system may include two conveyor modules, one for refrigerated or ambient unit-of-use items, another for ambient countables.
