Abstract: A system enables operation and control of railroad trains by remotely-located train operators. A centralized communication management server facilitates and manages virtual links between trains to be controlled and the appropriate remote train operators. The server routes train health and status information from each train as gathered by a locomotive control unit to the appropriate remote operator. The server also routes locomotive video, audio, train dynamics information, and other sensory data as gathered by the locomotive control unit from each train to the appropriate remote operator. Operator commands from each remote operator are routed by the server to the locomotive control unit in the appropriate train. The locomotive control unit executes received remote operator commands via conventional locomotive systems and interfaces. The locomotive control unit works with existing locomotive systems to bring a train to a safe and orderly stop in the event communication with the remote operator is lost.

Abstract: A disk brake system, in accordance with various embodiments, includes a pressure plate having a center, an inner radius and an outer radius. The disk brake system also includes a first piston. The disk brake system also includes a first puck coupled to the first piston and configured to contact the pressure plate at a first distance from the center in response to the first piston being actuated. The first distance is different than an average of the inner radius and the outer radius.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring power usage in a data storage environment, the system comprising a data storage system, a power monitor coupled to the data storage system and configured to monitor power consumption of the data storage system, a database in communication with the power monitor in order to communicate the monitored power consumption to the database, and computer-executable program code operating in memory coupled with a processor in communication with the database, wherein the computer-executable program code is configured to enable a processor to execute logic to receive power consumption information about the monitored power consumption, and display the monitored power consumption information to a user.
