  • Publication number: 20230058093
    Abstract: A vehicle control system is provided and may include a sensor that may measure an acceleration and a displacement of a vehicle during movement of the vehicle. The system may include one or more processors that can examine the acceleration and the displacement to identify an abnormal condition of the vehicle that includes an instability condition and/or a derailment condition of the vehicle. The processors may identify the instability condition responsive to the acceleration that is measured being no greater than an acceleration threshold and the displacement that is measured being no greater than a displacement threshold. The processors may identify the derailment condition responsive to the acceleration that is measured being greater than the acceleration threshold and the displacement that is measured being greater than the displacement threshold.

  • Patent number: 11529978
    Abstract: A system is provided for detecting an abnormal gait condition of a railway vehicle, including a first control chain and a second control chain connected to a digital output adapted to supply or not supply power to a load. The first control chain comprises a first sensor for detecting first detection data of movement of the railway vehicle, and a first control unit for receiving the first detection data, executing a first program for checking an abnormal gait and for controlling first electronic control means for supplying or not supplying power to the load. The second control chain comprises a second sensor for detecting second detection data of movement of the railway vehicle, and a second control unit for receiving the second detection data, executing a second program for checking an abnormal gait, and for controlling second electronic control means for supplying or not supplying power to the load.

  • Publication number: 20220073044
    Abstract: A method is described for controlling pneumatic pressure by actuating a charge and a discharge valve that vary the pressure, comprising, among other things, providing a matrix wherein each cell indicates a time for opening the charge or discharge valve; if the initial pressure value (PVi) in the volume is less than the target pressure value (PVt) to be reached, opening the charge valve, decreasing the value of the opening time indicated in the selected cell if the pressure value in the volume exceeds the target pressure value (PVt) and possibly increasing the value of the time indicated in the selected cell; if the initial pressure value (PVi) in the volume is greater than the target pressure value (PVt), opening the one discharge valve for the time indicated in a selected cell and possibly increasing the time value indicated in the selected cell and possibly decreasing the time value indicated in the selected cell.

  • Patent number: 10414562
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure including a first stationary part and a second removable part. The second part includes a storage chamber and a dispensing opening. The first part includes a closing member and at least one passage opening. Upon first opening, the second part moves relative to the first part from a first configuration to a second configuration to cause the dispensing opening to disengage from the closing member and allow the product in the storage chamber to flow out into the container. In the first configuration, the first part engages the second part to form a first sealing portion, a second sealing portion, and a safety chamber arranged between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion.
