Patent number: 8509964Abstract: The present invention is directed to a remote control system for controlling a railway vehicle. The remote control system including a remote control device for transmitting signals to a first controller module. The first controller is mounted to the railway vehicle and controls and monitors the functions of the railway vehicle. The first controller module also relays information to the remote control device. The remote control system can also include a portable safety switch allowing any individual in proximity to the railway vehicle to send a stop signal to the first controller module to stop the railway vehicle if any unsafe conditions exist.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Hetronic International, Inc.Inventors: Mark Ecton, Torsten Rempe, Max Heckl

Patent number: 7079813Abstract: An equipment lockout control system and method which provides a lockout function that inhibits one or more functions of the equipment being operated under predetermined operating conditions. The system includes at least one receiver, including an equipment inhibitor for disabling at least one function performed by the equipment. At least one portable transmitter operable by an operator is associated with the equipment and includes circuitry for generating a substantially continuous radio signal receivable by the receiver. The control system includes a means for rendering the equipment inhibitor ineffective, so long as the radio signal continues to be received by the receiver. The portable transmitter includes a means for broadcasting a stop signal upon actuation of an operator actuatable stop member forming part of the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2001Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: American Augers, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R. Szarka, Torsten Rempe, Max Heckl
