Title: Method and device for train-controlled change in direction in single-track railway operation
Inventor: MATERNE HORST
IPC: B61L3/12
Filed: 1995-06-27
Granted: 1999-10-06
Abstract: Control devices for points at each end of single-track stretches of railway are connected to each other in order to ensure that, before authorizing a train to travel, both control devices are in the required position and secured against a change in direction. The invention proposes a method and device designed to ensure a safe change in direction in simple operating conditions. After a train (T1) has departed from a station (A), the departure points (A2) are changed, after the train has driven over them, in order to prepare for the subsequent passage of a train in the other direction. After the train (T1) has driven over the arrival points (E1) at the other station (B), these are also changed and clearance given for departure of the train (T2) in the opposite direction. The train-controlled changing of the points can be overridden by a command from the traffic controller or from the train driver to permit several trains to pass in the same direction until the override is lifted. The commands and remote enquiries are transmitted by radio links. The invention represents an inexpensive way of ensuring a safe change in the direction of travel on single-track stretches of railway and provides a basis for radio-controlled railway operation.

Abstract: A maintenance channel for modular computer system reset, configuration, partitioning, and error communication. The maintenance channel includes a sanity code channel to ensure module functionality. The maintenance channel configures the computer system and issues commands to modules using a command channel. Error detection and diagnostics are performed using an error channel. The maintenance channel provides independent processing groups within one computer system, and allows for partial powerdown or isolation of portions of the system without affecting operations in the active portions of the computer system.

Abstract: The device determines the rotation rate of a combustion engine (1) connected to a generator (2). The engine has a known number of cylinders and an known operating principle. The generator is driven by the combustion engine with a fixed transfer ratio. The device determines the rotation rate of the combustion engine from the waviness of the DC generator voltage supplied to the on-board mains (3). The device automatically determines the transfer ratio between the generator and the engine in a one-off learning phase. In this phase the digitised component of the DC output voltage of the generator is transformed into the frequency range. The device determines the ratio of the frequency with maximum power density to the lowest frequency as the transfer ratio between the generator and the engine. Other components are bandpass filter (4), amplifier (5), A-D converter (6) and digital assembly (7) for signal processing.

Abstract: The bottle is composed by a series of consecutively adjoining watertight modules (sections) which can be singly detached without any alteration of the structure and of the functionality of the container. Nowadays, containers for liquid goods are constituted by simple bottles of glass or plastic , or tins that don't allow an optimal conservation of drinks or liquids, once these containers are partially emptied . In order to avoid this drawback , this invention is composed by a series of consecutively adjoining watertight modules . Once a module is empty it can be detached and removed allowing to keep full the rest of the container . Optimal conservation of every kind of drinks such as sparkling or not sparkling drinks, wine, water, milk etc. is thus achieved, even if the only content of a single section (or module) is consumed . <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of directing a cellular response in a mammal by expressing in a cell of the mammal at least two chimeric receptors which trigger the specific recognition and destruction of an infective agent, a cell infected with an infective agent, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell. One of the expressed chimeric receptors includes an extracellular portion which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding the target cell or target infective agent and an intracellular or transmembrane portion which is capable of signalling the therapeutic cell to destroy a receptor-bound target cell or a receptor-bound target infective agent; and the second chimeric receptor includes an extracellular portion which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding the target cell or target infective agent and an intracellular portion which is derived from CD28. Also disclosed are pairs of useful chimeric receptors, cells which express the chimeric receptors, and DNA encoding the chimeric receptors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast and reliable fencing of resources such as shared disks on a networked system. For each new configuration of nodes and resources on the system, a membership program module generates a new membership list and, based upon that, a new epoch number uniquely identifying the membership correlated with the time that it exists. A control key based upon the epoch number is generated, and is stored at each resource controller and node on the system. If a node is identified as failed, it is removed from the membership list, and a new epoch number and control key are generated. When a node sends an access request to a resource, the resource controller compares its locally stored control key with the control key stored at the node (which is transmitted with the access request). The access request is executed only if the two keys match. The membership list is revised based upon a node's determination (by some predetermined criterion or criteria, such as slow response time) of the failure of a resource, and is carried out independently of any action (either hardware or software) of the failed resource. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for transferring data from a first switch to a second switch selectively by line-switching or by packet-switching as wellas to a switch for carrying out the method. Data packets are thereby first transferred packet-switched through a packet-switching network to the second switch. With the presence of a corresponding control signal a line-switching connection is established from the first switch to the second switch and the data are then transferred through this connection. Where applicable a renewed changeover to a packet-switching transfer is carried out. A flexible packet-switching or line-switching data transfer linked with dynamic costs between the junctions of a telecommunications network is enabled.
