Patent number: 9771090Abstract: A railway monitoring system for detecting degradations, anomalies, changes, and other states of the railway that may indicate an increased probability of derailment, the need for maintenance, or the impedance of railway operation. The railway monitoring system broadly includes a sensor, a data storage component, a data collection and processing component, and a location positioning component. The sensor and other equipment are mounted in a specially designed or modified rail car and cooperatively collect data representative of railway conditions or states and detect changes in the conditions or states by comparing the collected data to previously collected data points.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignees: Bartlett & West, Inc., R.J. Corman, Railroad Group, LLCInventors: Keith Warta, Doug Morrison, Chris Cobb, Korey Colyer, Craig King, Mike Wilson

Publication number: 20070007942Abstract: Phase delay compensation sweep may be used in determining correct phase delay compensation of measured currents for substantially matching a measured apparent power to an expected apparent power over an operating range of current values of a current transformer (CT). A frequency sweep may also be used in determining correct phase delay compensation of each measured current in applications having multiple frequencies. Phase delay compensation for each CT current value may be stored in a phase delay compensation look-up table during the phase delay compensation sweep calibration and recalled from the look-up table during operational power measurements. Phase delay compensation for each CT current value and each frequency of that current value may be stored in a phase delay compensation look-up table during the phase delay compensation sweep calibration and recalled from the look-up table during operational power measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2005Publication date: January 11, 2007Inventors: Craig King, Vincent Quiquempoix, Roger Berry
