  • Publication number: 20130170107
    Abstract: An enclosure configured to enclose, and prevent the tampering of, mobile communication equipment for transportation industry vehicles, and which enclosure is accessible by authorized personnel. In one preferred embodiment, the enclosure is a case configured to receive mobile communication equipment when selectively opened, and which when closed prevents the tampering with the mobile communication equipment. Openings are provided in the case such that cables and harnesses can extend from the equipment to external connectors, yet which cables cannot be accessed or tampered with while the case is closed during operation of the vehicle. The openings have restricted spacing allowing the cabling to extend there through, yet which have smaller dimensions than the equipment connectors such that the connectors cannot be disengaged or accessed by unintended personnel.

  • Publication number: 20090198465
    Abstract: A manufacturing quality control system for monitoring the proximity of a workpiece to a machine tool is disclosed. The system includes a proximity sensor attached to the machine tool for deriving a first distance measurement based upon the distance between the workpiece and the machine tool. A wireless transmitter generates a radio frequency signal including the first distance measurement. A remote data processing device communicates with the wireless transmitter to retrieve the first distance measurement and display various derivations of sensor data.

  • Patent number: 6907738
    Abstract: A pilot air system for a combustor of a gas turbine including: a pilot air compressor having inlet connectable to in to a main passageway, wherein the main passageway receives compressed air from a compressor for the gas turbine; a pilot air platform positioned adjacent to the combustor of the gas turbine, wherein the pilot air compressor is positioned on the platform; an inline throttling valve coupled to the first main passageway; a by-pass passageway for the pilot air, proximate to the platform, and arranged in parallel to the main passageway and compressor, wherein the by-pass passageway receives pilot air from the main passageway downstream of the pilot air compressor and passes a portion of the compressed pilot air to the main passageway upstream of the pilot air compressor; a by-pass throttling valve inline with the by-pass passageway to meter pilot air flowing through the by-pass passageway, and the main passageway having an outlet connectable to the combustor.

  • Patent number: 6901761
    Abstract: A pilot air system for providing pilot air to a combustor of a gas turbine wherein the system includes: an inlet to receive a portion of compressed air discharged by a compressor of the gas turbine, wherein the portion of the compressed air is pilot air; a main passageway coupled to the inlet and providing a passage for the pilot air; an inline throttling valve coupled to the main passageway and metering a pressure of the compressed air in the main passageway; a pilot air compressor in series with the main passageway; a by-pass passageway for the pilot air and arranged in parallel to the main passageway and compressor, wherein the by-pass passageway receives pilot air from the main passageway downstream of the compressor and passes a portion of the compressed pilot air to the main passageway upstream of the compressor; a by-pass throttling valve inline with the by-pass passageway to meter pilot air flowing through said by-pass passageway, and the main passageway is connectable to the combustor.
