Patent CA-2421360-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIZZULO ANTHONY L III
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2003-03-07
Abstract: A technique for auditing a plant to ensure that it is compliant with a safety requirement, and making the plant compliant based on the audit. The audit determines whether placards and tags mounted on each machine in the plant accurately identify the power sources that need to be disconnected and locked out before maintenance can be performed on that machine. Once it is determined which machines do not comply, placards and tags are made for those machines that make the machine comply with the safety requirement. Once the facility is compliant, a user can enter changes into a web-based software system that provides continued compliance with the safety requirement as changes are made to the machines.

Patent CA-2442441-A1 (CA)
Title: Heated sanding nozzle
Inventor: REGAN ROSS HENRY
IPC: B61C15/10
Filed: 2003-09-25
Abstract: I have invented a metal heated sand nozzle that keeps sand flowing from the locomotive to the rail in all weather conditions. In the railway industry, locomotives experience wheel slip problems when pulling heavy freight trains up steep hills in winter conditions when ice and snow covers the rail. The steel drive wheels of the locomotive slip or spin against the steel rails due to poor adhesion. It is common for locomotives to have sand dispensing equipment that pours sand on the rail where the locomotive drive wheels meet the rail. The sand between the drive wheel and rail produces a high friction area where the locomotive can gain traction. However, in winter conditions, rubber sand nozzles that are presently used tend to plug up with ice and snow stopping the flow of sand to the rail. Heated sand nozzles eliminates ice and snow plugging the sand nozzle tip.
