Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program executable by a first device in a distributed system. The program publishes a first request for a collaborative operation to a first log of the first device. The program further receives, at the first log, a second request for the same collaborative operation. The second request is requested by a second device in the distributed system. The program also publishes a command to a second log of the first device. The command specifies the collaborative operation, the first device and the second device as participants of the collaborative operation, a first set of operations to be performed by the first device as part of the collaborative operations, and a second set of operations to be performed by the second device as part of the collaborative operation. The program further performs the first set of operations as part of the collaborative operation.

Abstract: A welding unit for welding rails of a track includes a first sub-unit which is displaceable on unit guides in a rail longitudinal direction relative to a second sub-unit by using displacement cylinders. Each sub-unit includes clamping cylinders disposed underneath the unit guides and coupled to clamping jaws for clamping the rails. The two sub-units are connected by the displacement cylinders in that a cylinder body of the respective displacement cylinder is connected to one sub-unit and a piston rod of the respective displacement cylinder is connected to the other sub-unit. Thus, it is not necessary to support the displacement cylinders relative to a transverse beam disposed at the front.

Abstract: A bogie for a rail vehicle, such as a locomotive, includes a frame, two wheelsets and at least one drive unit. The drive unit is mounted to the frame and to the wheelset. A motor is at least partially supported by the frame while a gearbox to which it is flexibly connected has a main gear mounted on the one wheelset as well as a pinion for driving the main gear. The gearbox is connected to the frame by a reaction rod placed away from the wheel-axle on which the gearbox is mounted. The reaction rod, which defines an axis, is aligned so that its axis extends substantially through a center of the bogie when projected in a longitudinal-vertical plane bisecting the bogie.
