Title: Brake control system
Inventor: POOLE JOHN DAVID
IPC: B60T13/58
Filed: 1985-02-05
Granted: 1987-12-03
Abstract: o A brake control system for a multiple unit train of mixed motor cars and trailer cars - of the type usually to be found operating as metro or mass transit trains - and in which the motor cars have dynamic brakes operation of which is blended with, but given preference over, the friction brakes of all units. A brake demand signal calling for a given level of train retardation is weighted on each vehicle, according to the load of the vehicle, and the level of dynamic braking effort invoked on each motor car is limited in accordance with a maximum adhesion level calculated in proportion to the measured load of that car. In a modified arrangement the adhesion level is calculated in accordance with the load of the lightest loaded motor car. Signals representing the amount of dynamic brake effort achieved by each motor car is supplied to a trailer car and subtracted from the load weighted braking effort for the trailer car and the result used to actuate the friction brakes of the trailer.

Title: A method of forming metal matrix composite bodies by utilizing a crushed polycrystalline oxidation reaction product as a filler, and products produced thereby
Inventor: NEWKIRK MARC STEVENS
IPC: C22C1/10
Filed: 1989-09-22
Granted: 1992-06-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming metal matrix composite bodies and novel metal matrix composite bodies produced thereby. Particularly, a polycrystalline oxidation reaction product of a parent metal and an oxidant is first formed. The polycrystalline oxidation reaction product is thereafter comminuted into an appropriately sized filler material (2) which can be placed into a suitable container (4) or formed into a preform. The filler material or preform of comminuted polycrystalline oxidation reaction product (2) is thereafter placed into contact with a matrix metal alloy (1) in the presence of an infiltration enhancer, and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere, at least at some point during the process, whereupon the matrix metal alloy (1) spontaneously infiltrates the filler material or preform. As a result of utilizing comminuted or crushed polycrystalline oxidation reaction product, enhanced infiltration (e.g., enhanced rate or amount) is achieved. Moreover, novel metal matrix composite bodies are produced.

Title: Method of and apparatus for manufacturing foundry molds
Inventor: BOENISCH DIETMAR PROF DR ING
IPC: B22C15/30
Filed: 1986-03-27
Granted: 1989-05-25
Abstract: Foundry molding material is poured or pneumatically infed into a mold frame arrangement containing at least one pattern, a molding frame and a filling frame. Subsequently, the foundry molding material is compacted by a compacting arrangement containing, for example, any one of a compressed-air surge compacting device, a combustion-force surge compacting device, a pressure compacting device, a vibrational compacting device or a combined pressure-and-vibrational compacting device. Also during such compacting operation at least the predominant portion of the foundry molding material contained in the filling frame is displaced into the molding frame. During such compacting operation a preselected expanding gas is infed into predetermined local regions of the foundry molding material while such material is being compacted. As a result, there are formed zones of reduced packing density in the foundry molding material. During the further compacting operation, but in any case at the end of such compacting operation, the zones of reduced packing density are eliminated and the packing density of such zones is at least approximately equalized with the packing density prevailing in the remaining zones of the foundry molding material.

Title: Equipment for the control of the access of processors to a data line
Inventor: FRIEDLI PAUL
IPC: B66B1/18
Filed: 1981-10-19
Granted: 1985-03-28
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the access of a plurality of microprocessors at a data line. The microprocessors are connected by interface components or blocks, logic switching circuits and bus drivers with two lines or conductors. An access request or demand of a processor initiates a signal change at the first line. This signal change causes the transformation of data which is specific to the processor into a delay or a priority signal, upon the occurrence of which there is accomplished a signal change of the second line. As a function thereof there appears at an input of the interface component a signal change which is indicative of the availability of the data line. Upon simultaneous occurrence of access requests or demands of a number of processors the signal change of the second line is brought about by that processor whose priority signal possesses the smallest delay. The signal change of the second line prevents the occurrence of the priority signals possessing the greater time-delays and which are correlated to the remaining processors. At these processors there thus cannot occur any signal change at the input of the related interface component or block and which indicates the availability of the data line.
