Title: Brake cylinder piston travel indicator
Inventor: RING MICHAEL E
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: A brake cylinder piston travel indicator for monitoring an amount of piston travel in a brake cylinder assembly in a railway braking system is provided. The railway braking system includes a brake beam and a brake cylinder piston within the brake cylinder assembly which is in engagement with an end of a brake cylinder force transfer lever. The brake cylinder piston travel indicator of the invention comprises a rod member which is rotatably secured to and extends substantially parallel with at least a portion of the brake beam.

Inventor: MARTENS HOLGER
IPC: B61D17/10
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The invention aims to improve a floor for rail vehicles in such a way that a n even, level, reference plane for constructing the floor is obtained by a simple tolerance compensation of the deviations in the longitudinal directio n, transverse direction and height of the shell assembly. Said compensation is embodied as an easy-to-assemble positive-fit connection between the floor plate and the body-shell floor plate. This is achieved by a retaining profil e (6) which is configured as a profile with a recess (13) for accommodating a connecting element (14) and provided with at least one blind opening (7). An  elastic spacer (8), comprising a plug-in extension (10) to compensate for th e existing differences in level between the floor plate and the floor-profile plate, is inserted into the blind opening under pressure, forming a positive - fit. The positive-fit between the blind opening (7) and the plug-in extensio n (10) is perpendicular in relation to the positive-fit between the profile batten (4) and the retaining profile (6).

Title: Continuous dehydration of alcohol to ether and water used as fuel for diesel engines
Inventor: MIKKELSEN SVEND-ERIK
IPC: F02B51/02
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxygenated fuel composition suitable for use in compression ignition internal combustion engines, equipped with inlet air heater, a catalytic alcohol dehydration equipment suitable for chemical equilibrium conversion of methanol and higher alcohol to their associated ether plus water. The generated fuels contain a synergetic combination of unconverted alcohol like methanol and ethanol and associated generated ether as dimethylether and diethylether and water. The generated fuel is injected as a liquid directly into the cylinders of the engine. The generated ether provides good ignition properties. The unconverted alcohol provides a stable single-phase fuel and the water results in a reduction in combustion temperature yielding very low concentration of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas. Another advantage associated with the obtained fuel compositions is very low formation of particulate matter. Experimental investigations have shown that high overall engine efficiency is obtained. The generated fuel compositions are used as main fuel for start and operation of the engine. Further the invention reduces the dependency of fossil liquid fuel as the alcohol feed used can be produced from natural gas and basically all carbon bearing substances like coal and renewable sources like wood.

Inventor: YAMAGUCHI TAKAYOSHI
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: When audio dubbing is implemented, error correction is performed for each ECC block. Therefore, even when one byte of data in an ECC block is rewritten, the whole ECC block to which the byte belongs needs to be read and rewritten. When audio dubbing data is scattered in ECC blocks, almost all ECC blocks, or all the data needs be rewritten in order to record audio dubbing data. By constructing ECC blocks including audio dubbing data so as not to contain original data, it is no longer necessary to read and rewrite unnecessary original data when audio dubbing data is overwritten.

Title: Apparatus and method for dispensing small quantities of particles
Inventor: MACMICHAEL BRUCE
IPC: G01G13/06
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and method which is capable of dispensing ve ry small (typically less than 5 mg) quantities of particles to a high accuracy in a repeatable way and without undue wastage. Also, the need for advanced particle formulation is reduced. The apparatus comprises a closed loop contr ol system which uses an electro-mechanical actuator to deliver impact energy to  a supply of particles initially held on a sieve in a hopper. The impact energy  causes a small number of particles to fall through the sieve and onto a weig ht measuring balance. The weight obtained is scrutinised by a processor to see if further actuations are required. In preferred embodiments, the energy of actuation is varied in accordance with the rate of dispensation calculated b y the processor. Also, a correction amount can be obtained to take account of the fact that the balance can take a considerable amount of time to settle t o its final value.
