  • Publication number: 20240127138
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes generating a first visual representation of a location of a railroad station in relation to a railroad track, receiving a request for a first maintenance window, and determining that the first maintenance window is associated with the railroad station. The method further includes determining a first time period and generating a second visual representation of information associated with the railroad station during the first time period. The information includes an indication of a time that a train is scheduled to cross the railroad station during the time period. The information also includes an indication of a time duration for a second maintenance window that has been requested during the time period.

  • Patent number: 11942391
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system in package having a chiplet with a first substrate and a first die deposed over the first substrate, a second die, a second substrate that the chiplet and the second die are deposed over, and a heatsink spreader deposed over the chiplet and the second die. Herein, the first substrate includes layered-cake shaped heatsink stanchions that are coupled to the first die, and the second substrate includes layered-cake shaped heatsink stanchions that are coupled to the chiplet and the second die. As such, heat generated by the first die can be dissipated by the heatsink stanchions within the first and second substrates, and heat generated by the second die can be dissipated by the heatsink stanchions within the second substrate. Furthermore, the heat generated by the first die and the second die can be dissipated by the heatsink spreader above them.

  • Patent number: 9279666
    Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring strain in a substrate using a strain sensor element within a fiber optic sensing cable. Accurate and rapid measurement of strain of remote substrates presents major technical challenges and is the focus of much of the description presented. However, systems, methods and devices provided by the present invention are not only capable of reliably measuring strain in real time, but are also capable of measuring other characteristics of a substrate such as its temperature, pressure and its acoustic characteristics. The system is configured such that a strain sensor element within a strain sensing zone detects substantially the true strain characteristics of the substrate. And while other sensing elements within the same fiber optic sensing cable may not be configured to detect substrate strain at all, these sensing elements may reliably measure the temperature and pressure at the surface of the substrate adjacent to the strain sensing zone.

  • Publication number: 20150037207
    Abstract: The present inventive subject matter is drawn to systems and methods of disinfecting and sanitizing the tires and forks of industrial forklifts. In one aspect of this invention, a modular forklift disinfecting system is presented comprising a sanitizing trough designed to allow driving a forklift up a first ramp, into the sanitizing trough containing a sanitizing solution, and out the other end of the sanitizing trough down a second ramp. The system is designed to operate without diverting the forklift from its normal business operation, or utilizing any extra machinery. In another aspect of this invention, a method for disinfecting the tires and forks of industrial forklifts is also presented.

  • Patent number: 8858146
    Abstract: A manufacturing method and device for supporting conductors. Using a non-metallic insulating material extending beyond the inside of one or both parallel legs of a staple the thumb and forefinger may grip this extension while the staple is being driven into a supporting structure. This finger grip allows for a small, insulated staple to be held with increased safety to thumb and forefinger during penetration of staple into support.

  • Patent number: 8069599
    Abstract: A tag comprising: a hang tab body; a hang tab; a ratchet; a cutting channel; a guide channel; and, a tail, the tail comprising teeth and at least one knob. The tail may be fed through the guide channel and the cutting channel into the ratchet, thereby allowing the ratchet to engage the teeth, which in turn prevents the tail from being disengaged from the ratchet, thereby securing the tag to a product. The product may be easily released by severing the portion of the tag in the cutting channel. The cutting channel can also provide a guide which helps to prevent damaging the product as the tag is remove.
