Title: Lubricant for lubricating the id surface of a tyre for a rotary trunnion supported equipment
Inventor: GRINHAM TERRY
IPC: C10M111/00
Filed: 1993-05-11
Abstract: A lubrication block, with or without a cavity, or a lubrication bag, for lubricating an ID surface of a tyre and an OD surface of a plurality of pads of rotary trunnion supported equipment, such as a kiln, cooler, dryer, reactor, granulator and ball mill operating at temperatures from 100°F to 500°F or higher. The tyre has inner and outer faces, and the inner face of the tyre is slipped over the plurality of pads or filler bars welded to an outer shell of the rotary equipment. The lubrication block or bag is sized so as to be inserted in between the pads. The lubrication block comprises a lubricant and a solid carrier for said lubricant. The carrier is selected from the group consisting of waxes such as paraffin, polymers, copolymers such as ethylene or polyethylene glycol or mixtures thereof, and the lubricant comprises powdered carbon and a soft metal powder (e. g. copper, zinc, aluminum) or a noble metal powder (e.g. silver, copper). The lubrication bag contains a lubricant like the lubrication block and is made of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic materials such as polymers, copolymers or mixtures thereof.      The carrier or the material of the bag melts and vaporizes at the temperature of the tyre, leaving very little harmful residue on the tyre except for the powdered carbon, the soft metal powders and the noble metal powders. In this way, the powdered carbon and the metal powders are capable of lubricating the ID surface of the tyre uniformly, without having to use messy hoses, pumps, or kegs containing the lubricant, in order to apply the lubricant to the ID surface of the tyre.

Abstract: A safety device for preventing injuries to a worker as a result of a fall includes a housing which is intended to be mounted at an elevated position where the worker is working and a cable which is adapted to be connected to a harness or belt worn by the worker. The housing includes a spring driven drum therein which normally keeps the cable wound thereon but which allows the same to be withdrawn slowly from the housing as more cable is needed by the worker. A centrifugally operated brake senses an initial quick withdrawal of the cable from the housing which results from the worker falling and stops further withdrawal therefrom to thereby prevent the worker from falling further. A  manually operated crank mechanism by the housing allows a fellow worker to raise or lower the fallen worker to safety.

Title: Traffic control system utilizing on-board vehicle information measurement apparatus
Inventor: PETERSON ROBERT A
IPC: B61L3/00
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF  THE DISCLOSURE        A railway traffic control system is disclosed in which accurate vehicle information is effectively available in real-time to facilitate control of traffic flow.  Unlike prior art methods of precisely monitoring train location, the current invention is dependant only on equipment on-board the vehicle and position updates provided by external benchmarks located along the track route.  The system's dynamic motion capabilities can also be used to sense and store track rail signatures, as a function of rail distance, which can be routinely analyzed to assist in determining rail and road-bed conditions for preventative maintenance purposes.        In presently preferred embodiments, the on-board vehicle  information detection equipment comprises an inertial measurement unit providing dynamic vehicle motion information to a position processor.  Depending on the amount and quality of apriori knowledge of the vehicle route, the inertial measurement unit may have as many as three gyroscopes and three accelerometers or as little as a single accelerometer.  To minimize error between benchmarks, the processor preferably includes a recursive estimation filter to combine the apriori route information with movement attributes derived from the inertial measurement unit.
