Abstract: A method is provided that may include receiving consist commands from a vehicle system controller at a consist controller onboard at least one consist of a multi-vehicle system. The consist commands may direct one or more of a power call or a braking call by the at least one consist. The method may include determining individual vehicle commands for each of an electric vehicle and a fuel-based vehicle in the at least one consist. The individual vehicle commands may be determined to achieve the power or braking call from the at least one consist. The individual vehicle command for the electric vehicle may differ from the individual vehicle command for the fuel-based vehicle. The method may include controlling motoring or braking of the electric vehicle and the fuel-based vehicle by communicating the individual vehicle commands to the electric vehicle and the fuel-based vehicle.

Abstract: The faucet connection is designed to allow a faucet to be replaced without having to tear into a wall. By using the tap sleeve to connect the sleeve to the faucet the faucet can be easily replaced. The tap sleeve connects to the faucet by way of female threads located on the inner side. O-rings are then placed on the tap sleeve along ridges located on the tap sleeve and the tap sleeve is inserted into the sleeve. The o-rings then function to seal the tap sleeve and the sleeve preventing leaks. The tap sleeve is held in place by using grub screws which are inserted into the sleeve and engage with the tap sleeve.
