Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive and reliable circuit board inspection
apparatus and method that requires only a short inspection time and that is applicable even
to a densely wired circuit board. 
     A constant voltage E is applied to a switch section SW1 from a signal source 46. A
computer 44 turns on a switch section SW2 and then turns the switch section SW1 on. An
equivalent circuit is then closed to cause a current (i) to flow there through, thereby
generating a voltage Vx that is input to an amplifier 74. After the voltage Vx has been
amplified by the amplifier 74, its maximum value is detected and held by a peak hold circuit
76. Based on this maximum value, the computer 44 determines the continuity of a printed
pattern on a circuit board 32. The voltage Vx input to the amplifier 74 exhibits the
maximum value nearly simultaneously with the activation of the switch section SW1. Thus,
the detection of the maximum value can be finished in a very short time. Therefore, the
continuity of the printed pattern can be determined in a very short time.

Abstract: The present invention is a valve system for exhausting air
from a brakepipe in a remote portion of a train. It has a pressure
containment structure having a cylindrical bore and a piston
mounted in the bore. A first valve chamber is on one side of the
piston and a second valve chamber on a second side. A diaphragm
seals between piston and bore, the diaphragm having an annular fold
for permitting movement of the piston within the bore. The system
has a first brakekpipe pressure passageway for conveying air from
the brakepipe to the first valve chamber and a control pressure
connection for conveying air from a control chamber to the second
valve chamber. A biasing means is provided for urging the piston
toward the first valve chamber. A brakepipe exhaust valve
connected to the piston is closed when the piston is moved toward
the first valve chamber and opened when the piston is moved toward
the second valve chamber so that when the pressure in the control
chamber is reduced the brakepipe exhaust valve is opened and air is
vented from the brakepipe. An annular sleeve is attached to the
pressure containment structure and protruds into the fold of the
diaphragm to prevent the diaphragm from inverting if the pressure
in the brakepipe drops below the pressure in the control chamber
when the piston is positioned toward the first valve chamber.
