  • Publication number: 20210197871
    Abstract: A unitary bogie frame for a bogie of a rail vehicle, includes: two side beams and at least one support beam extending in the transverse direction of the bogie frame and rigidly connected to each of the two side beams. The support beam includes a support portion for supporting a drive unit of the bogie and a slender portion. The support portion is directly connected to one of the two side beams and is connected to the other of the two side beams through the slender portion. The planar second moment of area and the polar second moment of area of any cross section of the support portion of the support beam are at least twice as great as the planar second moment of area and the polar second moment of area, respectively, of any cross-section of the slender portion of the support beam.

  • Patent number: 7653766
    Abstract: A programmatic time-gap defect correction apparatus and method corrects errors which may go undetected by a computer system. Buffer underruns or overruns, which may incur errors in data transfers, yet remain undetected and uncorrected in a computer system, are corrected by an error avoidance module in accordance with the invention. Bytes transferred to and from buffers, used by an I/O controllers to temporarily store data while being transferred between synchronous and asynchronous devices, are counted and an error condition is forced based on the count. If the count exceeds the capacity of the buffer, an error condition is forced, thereby reducing chances that errors are incurred into the data transfer.
