Inventor: KUMAR SUDHIR
IPC: B61K3/00
Filed: 1999-03-22
Abstract: A lubricant system for a railroad locomotive applies a lubricant with great accuracy in computer-controlled, precise quantities behind the last axle of the locomotive such that the lubricant is consumed by the time the entire train has passed under all track, speed, temperature and train size condition. Hydraulic pulse-width modulation (PWM or %PWM) controls the quantity of lubricant delivered. Time is divided into a series of windows (33, 34, 35) each consisting of a few seconds.  Lubricant delivered from a pressurized tank (8) through long hoses to a solenoid controlled valve (12) is then metered by the duration within this time window (33, 34, 35) for which the computer computes and opens the valve (12). Compensation is provided for train tonnage and lubricant temperature as well as track curvature and train speed.

Abstract: IMS apparatus has an inlet with a preconcentrator (9) opening into a reaction region (3, 103) where analyte molecules are ionized and passed via a shutter (11) to a drift region (2), (102) for collection and analysis. A pump (21) and filter (22, 23) arrangement supplies a flushing flow of clean gas to the housing (1), (101) in opposition to ion flow. A pressure pulser (8) connects with the housing (1, 101) and is momentarily switched to cause a short drop in pressure, in the housing to draw in a bolus of analyte sample from the preconcentrator (9). Just prior to admitting a bolus of sample, the pump (21) is turned off so that the flushing flow drops substantially to zero, thereby prolonging the time the analyte molecules spend in the reaction region (3).
