Title: Monitoring railway track
Inventor: DAVID VINCENT
IPC: B61L23/04
Filed: 2017-10-27
Abstract: An apparatus 2 for monitoring railway track 4 has a wireless sensor node 6 fitted to an axle assembly 8 of a railway vehicle 10, and a processor (fig.2,18). The Sensor node contains a vibration energy harvester (fig.2,12), a sensor (fig.2,14), and a wireless transmitter (fig.2,16). When the vehicle is in motion the energy harvester converts vibration energy to power the transmitter; and the sensor measures vibration in the axle assembly over a period of time to produce a vibration-time signal which varies with a periodicity corresponding to the spacing of sleepers along the railway track; the signal is transmitted, and processed, preferably continuously in real-time, to determine a track condition parameter, such as the track stiffness. The track condition parameter may be determined from analysis of portions of the vibration-time signal corresponding to track between adjacent sleepers. Vibration-time signals from previous monitoring operations may be integrated or combined into a reference vibration-time signal, against which the current axle vibration-time signal may be compared.

Title: Methods and systems for clustering of repair orders based on alternative repair indicators
Inventor: PATRICK S MERG
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2016-07-29
Abstract: Methods and systems may relate to clustering of repair orders based on alternative repair indicators. Accordingly, a processor may determine that a particular computer- readable vehicle repair order (RO) corresponds to an existing cluster of ROs due to the particular RO including data that refers to a particular vehicle symptom. This existing cluster may be arranged to contain ROs that correspond to the particular vehicle symptom. In response to determining that the particular RO correspond to the existing cluster, the processor may determine that the particular RO includes data indicating an alternative repair that defines a vehicle repair for resolving the particular vehicle symptom other than by replacement of a particular vehicle component. Responsively, the processor may add the particular RO to a different cluster of ROs. This different cluster may be arranged to contain ROs that correspond to the particular vehicle symptom and to the alternative repair.

Filed: 2018-03-23
Abstract: A method for the cytometric analysis of cell samples, wherein the microscope is capable of operating in a transmis­sion mode and/or in a fluorescence mode. The cell sample has a fluorescence marker. During a continuous movement of the cell samples, a first image of a sub-region of the cell sample is recorded in transmission or fluorescence mode; and a second image of the cell sample is recorded in fluorescence mode. The two images are associated with each other. Positions and/or con­tours M of cells or cell components of the cell samples are detected in the transmission image. The in­tensities of the fluorescence image are then analysed as a function of these positions and/or contours M. Alternatively, positions and/or contours M are extracted from any one of these two images, and the remaining image is analysed as a function of these positions and/or contours.

Title: Automatic distribution of device parameters for commissioning portions of a disconnected process control loop
Inventor: LARRY OSCAR JUNDT
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2016-10-12
Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for automatically distributing device identification amongst components of a process control loop in a process plant while the loop is communicatively disconnected from the plant's back-end environment or control room. A field device's identification is stored in a memory of a component of the loop (which may be the field device or a proxy) and is used for commissioning the field device. While the loop remains disconnected, the field device's identification is distributed to the memory of another component of the loop and used for commissioning a portion of the loop including the field device and the another component. Additional distribution to other components for commissioning other loop portions is possible. Distribution may be triggered by the completion of certain commissioning activities, the establishment of communicative connections between components, and/or other conditions. Other parameters and/or information descriptive of the field device may be similarly distributed.
