Abstract: A variable-speed moving walkway includes an array of support rollers (10) provided with a plurality of horizontal drive rollers (11), having upper surfaces arranged to be generally flush with each other and rotated about each axial center, and an endless belt (16), supported by the array of support rollers, for moving continuously by their rotation. An array of accelerating rollers (12), an array of high-speed rollers (13), and an array of decelerating rollers (14) constitute the array of support rollers, and allow rotational speeds of the horizontal drive rollers to gradually increase from a low speed, to be maintained at a constant high speed, and to gradually decrease to a low speed, respectively. In addition, the endless belt (16) readily extends or retracts in the direction of movement and barely extendable or retractable in the widthwise direction. The belt (16) extends and retracts in the direction of movement in response to the rotational speed of the horizontal drive rollers.

Abstract: A system for reducing wireless telecommunications network resources required to successfully route calls to a wireline network of the present invention. A  first mechanism (52) routes a call originated from a wireless party connected to a wireless network to a wireline party connected to a wireline network. A  second mechanism (54) determines if the wireline network is congested in response to the mechanism for routing and provides a signal in response thereto. A third mechanism (60) selectively queues the call in response to the signal. A fourth mechanism connects the wireless party to be wireline party when the call reaches a front of the queue and the wireline network can accept the call. In a specific embodiment, the first mechanism for routing the call includes a mobile switching center (12) in communication with a base station (18, 20) or base station controller (14). The base station or base station controller communicates with a mobile station (26) associated with the wireless party. The third mechanism includes software running on the mobile switching center and/or the base station controller that places the call on the queue. The fourth mechanism includes a mechanism (72) for notifying the wireline party that the wireless party will connect shortly if the wireline party answers the call before the wireless party is notified that the call is to be completed via the fourth mechanism. The fourth mechanism also includes a mechanism (70) for informing the wireline party that the wireless party is unavailable if the wireless party cannot be notified or contacted by the mechanism for connecting.

Abstract: A release valve apparatus for use on freight railcars equipped with ECP brake equipment comprises a spool valve assembly and a control valve assembly. The control valve assembly features a lever with which a railroad worker can affect the pressure in a brake cylinder to which the spool valve assembly is connected. By operating the lever after a brake application, a worker can not only manually release the pressure from the brake cylinder but also lock the brake cylinder in a release state until the spool valve assembly is reset. The spool valve assembly can be reset merely by commanding the ECP brake equipment to depressurize a control chamber underneath the spool valve assembly, in response to which the ECP application and release valves are again placed in communication with the brake cylinder. The lever can also be used to manually blow down the auxiliary and emergency reservoirs.
