  • Publication number: 20200122747
    Abstract: A monorail vehicle includes two bogie assemblies supporting different ends of a chassis. Each bogie assembly includes guide wheels rotatably connected to a bogie frame, a wheel assembly for rolling along a top of a guide beam, and a drive unit. The drive unit includes an electric motor attached to the bogie frame via a mounting flange that is located within a first lateral half of the body, a brake unit, and a planetary gear assembly coupled to a rotor of the electric motor. The planetary gear assembly is located on a first side of the electric motor and the wheel assembly is mounted to an output of the planetary gear assembly. The drive unit is attached whereupon the wheel assembly may be dismounted from the drive unit in a direction of a second lateral half of the body without dismounting the drive unit from the bogie frame.

  • Publication number: 20170146455
    Abstract: The invention relates to analyzing a substance. An optical medium is arranged on a substance surface with at least one region of the optical medium surface in contact with the substance surface. An excitation light beam is emitted through the contacting region of the medium surface to the substance surface. A measurement light beam is emitted through the optical medium to the contacting region of the medium surface such that the measurement light beam and the excitation light beam overlap on the interface of the optical medium and of the substance surface, on which the measurement light beam is reflected. A deflection of the reflected measurement light beam is detected in dependence on the wavelength of the excitation light beam. The substance is then analyzed based on the detected deflection of the measurement light beam in dependence on the wavelength of the excitation light beam.

  • Publication number: 20170091350
    Abstract: Methods and systems for computerized modeling of dispersion of pollution originating from vehicles travelling on a road network are provided. Traffic-related data for road segments useable to calculate a pollution emission estimate for the segments is captured and weather-related data for segments are obtained. A pollution emission estimate is calculated for each segment. Segments are associated with a pollution dispersion model based on a traffic flow label of the segment. A pollution density map is calculated based on the superpositions of segment dispersions. The pollution density map is updated in response to detecting changes affecting one or more segment dispersions.

  • Publication number: 20160111705
    Abstract: An air cathode battery is provided with a slurry anode. An anode cavity is interposed between the air cathode interior surfaces, with an anode compartment occupying the anode cavity. The anode compartment has a first wall and a second wall, one or both capable of movement. An anode current collector pouch has walls adjacent to interior surfaces of the anode compartment. A zinc slurry occupies an expandable region in the anode compartment between the anode current collector pouch and the anode compartment wall interior surfaces. The anode current collector pouch first wall and second wall contract towards each other in response to expansion in the volume of zinc slurry. In one aspect, the anode compartment first and second walls expand away from each other in response to expansion in the volume of zinc oxide. A replenishable electrolyte source may be used to provide electrolyte to the anode cavity.
