Patent number: 9391820Abstract: A first unit configured to generate and transmit a code of positive and negative DC pulses through a first rail of a railway. A second unit spaced from the first unit and configured to sense the code, which includes a leading code word, having a positive or negative timing pulse followed after a first data interval by a positive or negative data pulse, followed by a modifying code word. The modifying code word consists of a second positive or negative timing pulse followed after a second data interval by a second positive or negative data pulse. The second timing pulse starts after one code cycle from the start of the leading code word timing pulse. The second timing pulse and the second data pulse duplicate the timing pulse and the data pulse of the same polarity, but invert the timing pulse and the data pulse of opposite polarities.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: ALSTOM TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIESInventors: James Michael Kiss, Steven Ray Murphy

Patent number: 9340220Abstract: A system includes a determination module and a communication module. The determination module is configured to be located onboard a first vehicle that travels along a first route including a crossing corresponding to an intersection of the first route with a second route. The determination module is configured to be communicatively coupled with a remote crossing module that is configured to impede travel of a second vehicle through the crossing, and to identify an upcoming stop at a station within a range of a track detection system associated with the remote crossing module. The communication module is configured to communicatively couple the determination module to the remote crossing module, and to transmit an inhibit request message to the remote crossing module. The inhibit request message is configured to prevent the remote crossing module from activating a warning when the first vehicle is stopped at the station.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: ALSTOM TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIESInventors: Jeffrey Michael Fries, Steven Ray Murphy, Michael Steffen, II, Jesse Lee Herlocker, Nels Jorgensen, Anuka Sawh

Patent number: 5971818Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an elongate insulative housing having a plurality of cavities extending in side-by-side relation along the longitudinal housing direction. Each of the cavities is nominally spaced for fine pitch applications to be on the order of 0.050 inch. A wire contact assembly which is snapped into the connector housing and resiliently held therein by a releasable latch, comprises an insulation crimping portion that is formed during the crimping process to be of oval configuration. The oval configuration allows the use of wires at least as large as 28 AWG in such fine pitch spacings and permits installation of each wire contact assembly into the connector in the same orientation.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1993Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Thomas & Betts CorporationInventors: Eric D.
