  • Patent number: 6273003
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tilt control for the superstructure of a rail vehicle, that includes a transversal acceleration sensor and a tilt control device controlled therefrom for tilting the superstructure along its longitudinal axis in relation to the running gear or the bogie supporting the superstructure. A low-pass filter is connected in the signal path between the transversal acceleration sensor and the tilt control device. In order to at least amply compensate the operation time of the low-pass filter, a steady state member is connected in the signal path between the transversal acceleration sensor and the low-pass filter, whose output signal is selected at least in the middle segment of a predetermined measuring value of the transversal acceleration values to be detected in such a way that the transversal acceleration in the superstructure remains almost constant in said segment.

  • Patent number: 5168729
    Abstract: An improved warp knit having colored surfaces comprised of three or more colors can be made across the same wales. Threads having a color which is covered in one colored surface run as floats, and threads with a color forming the colored surface are placed in a pattern connecting the floats with one another. A fabric or twill pattern extends across at least a number of wales which is less by 1 than the number of colors. Accordingly adjacent floats consist of at least two differently colored threads.
