Title: Optimal locomotive assignment for a railroad network
Inventor: BELCEA JOHN M
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2001-01-02
Granted: 2010-12-07
Abstract: A computer-im-plemented method for optimizing locomotive assignments on a railroad network. The locomotives are assigned to power and signaling classes, based on equipment installed within each locomotive. An objective function is set forth that considers the cost of moving extra power in the network, the penalties incurred for late train departures due to the failure to assign an appropriately-equipped locomotive and the cost of train operation. Various constraints are set forth that must be taken into consideration when optimizing the objective function.

Title: Power striker with toggle linkage drive mechanism
Inventor: PATON GORDON ANDREW
IPC: E05B15/02
Filed: 2001-02-09
Granted: 2008-01-22
Abstract: A power striker mechanism (10) has a housing (16) adapted for mounting on a vehicle. A striker assembly (12) is mounted to the housing and constrained to slide between an inboard and outboard position. An outer link (42) is pivotally attached to the striker assembly (12). An inner link (48) is pivotally attached to the housing (16) and pivotally attached to the outer link (42).  A cinching mechanism (14) linkably connects the inner (48) and outer links (42). Driving movement of the cinching mechanism (14) effects the inboard and outboard movement of the striker assembly (12).  The driving movement is generally perpendicular to the inboard outboard movement of the striker assembly (12) thereby isolating the cinching mechanism (14) from loads imparted to the striker assembly (12).

Abstract: A tensioner device for applying tension to a flexible fence slat includes a bracket assembly having attachment webs for attachment to a fence post and a pair of vertically spaced, horizontally oriented flanges. A tensioning cylinder is mounted for rotation within a pair of apertures provided, respectively, in the horizontally oriented flanges, the tensioning cylinder formed with a through-slot extending longitudinally between a pair of radial flanges. The through-slot has a length substantially equal to a width of the flexible fence slat and adapted to receive one end of the fence slat. A ratchet wheel is formed at one end of the cylinder, between one of the radial flanges and one of the horizontally oriented flanges, and a pawl is pivotably mounted on the adjacent one of the horizontally oriented flanges for engagement with the ratchet so as to permit rotation of the tensioning cylinder in a tensioning direction but to prevent rotation of the tensioning cylinder in an opposite direction. A finger tab on the pawl facilitates moving the pawl into or out of engagement with the ratchet.

Abstract: An aspirating device (26), in particular for the internal combustion engine in an engine-driven tool such as a chain saw or parting-off grinder, etc., has an intake port (9) which comprises an intake port section (3) in the form of a carburettor (1). Mounted in the intake port section (3) in such a manner that it is able to pivot is a throttle valve (7, 24, 37). Downstream of the throttle valve (7, 24, 37) the intake port (9) is divided into an air duct (4) and a mixture duct (5) by a dividing wall (10, 27, 44). A fuel jet (6) opens into the mixture duct (5). In order to supply a favourable ratio of fuel/air mixture to largely fuel-free combustion air to the internal combustion engine, the flow cross-section in the air duct (4) is greater than the flow cross-section in the mixture duct (5).

Abstract: Un système de surveillance comprend un émetteur (102) comportant deux modules d'émission (208, 210) et un récepteur (104) comportant deux modules de réception (212, 214). Chacun des modules d'émission (208, 210) génère un signal optique modulé à une fréquence unique. Les signaux optiques sont émis sur une route (112) et sont détectés par les modules de réception (121, 214). Lorsqu'un véhicule (110) se déplace entre l'émetteur (102) et le récepteur (104), les signaux optiques sont bloqués. Le récepteur (104) génère des événements de conjonction-disjonction horodatés correspondant au blocage et au déblocage des signaux, ces derniers étant utilisés pour déterminer des paramètres relatifs au véhicule (110) tels que la vitesse et la classification du véhicule. Etant donné que chaque signal est modulé à une fréquence différente, chaque module de réception (212, 214) peut distinguer les signaux reçus en provenance de chacun des modules d'émission (208, 210), ceci permettant de déterminer la position de la voie de circulation du véhicule (110) dans une route à voies multiples (112).
