Abstract: Automatic machine for leveling and alignment of ballastless railway, prior to concreting, having a structure (1) that moves along the track, provided with fastening elements to, once located in the track section to be positioned, firmly grab both rails (10) keeping the track in suspension while it performs millimetric movements of displacement until placing it in the desired final position, both in plant and height of the rails and cant; said machine has a measuring system, which includes tilt sensors (11) and a total station (12) of GPS or topographic type, that allow to identify the actual position of the track, in real-time. It also has a control system that includes process software of the position data acquired by the measuring devices (11-12), from which it determines the required movements to be carried out to achieve the desired final position of the track.

Abstract: A machine (1) for picking up and storing rail fastenings (2) of a track (3) includes two rail fastening pickup devices (9). Arranged between these and a rear on-track undercarriage (4)—with regard to a working direction (6)—is a crawler track (24). At each longitudinal side of the machine, two devices (29) for guiding rails (30) are provided which are adjustable by drives (28) relative to the machine frame (5) and arranged one following the other in the longitudinal direction of the machine.

Abstract: A device for use in television and motion picture industries lifts and re-positions a track on which camera dolly or crane is located. The device includes a first bar member of a substantially elongated shape comprising a hinge, a first caster wheel assembly, and a first track hook which is positioned at one end of the first bar member. A second bar member of a substantially elongated shape shorter than the first bar member is pivotably attached to the first bar member via the hinge such that when in a closed position the first and second bar members form a substantially straight line. The second bar member further comprises a second caster wheel assembly and a second track hook which is positioned at one end of the second bar member, this one end of the second bar member being at an opposite location than the other end of the first bar member along the substantially straight line.

Abstract: The invention relates to track-laying assistance device to hold at ground-level a raised end of an opened track having pre-angled connectors, wherein it comprises a first element fastened to the part of the track held to the ground and a second mobile element able to be dismounted with respect to said first element and able to push back to ground-level a raised end of the track to allow the vehicle to engage in it.

Abstract: A system and method for adding support for new contained classes to a container class that does not require the container class to be recompiled. Also disclosed is a system and method for building container classes that does not require a programmer to explicitly code methods related to the contained classes. A set of classes, called Supporters, provides support for contained classes. Related Supporters can be packaged as a library that can be shipped with programming environments, updated APIs or device drivers. A SupporterAffinity manages Supporters for use by a particular contained class. A SupporterAffinity method (“getSupporter”) can be invoked to add a Supporter for a new contained class to the SupporterAffinity, allowing an instance of the container class to use that Supporter's methods on instances of the new contained class. Because support for the new container class is provided via the SupporterAffinity and the new Supporter, there is no need to recode the container class.

Abstract: A rotary turntable for use in a building, such as in a residential or office environment, includes at least one door and at least one wall panel for cooperating with adjacent stationary building structures such as walls and a ceiling to define a variable floor plan. The turntable door and wall panel include expansion members for engaging and contacting adjacent building structures to provide an acoustic barrier between rooms. In the preferred form, the turntable door is powered for driven movement between open and closed positions which can vary according to the specific rotational position of the turntable.

Abstract: An improved turntable is provided for use in a building, such as in a residential or office environment, wherein the turntable is constructed from modular components for facilitated installation within a relatively low profile space. The turntable comprises a skeletal frame including an outer rim in combination with a plurality of radially extending support beams, wherein the assembled frame defines a plurality of generally pie-shaped openings for nested reception of a corresponding plurality of lightweight modular panel units. Wheels are mounted to the outer rim in adjacent pairs on opposite sides of each radial support beam for shared distribution of loads applied to the turntable during use. A traction drive surface is formed on the periphery of the outer rim in a position engaged by a drive roller of a low profile drive unit.

Abstract: A transferable roadway lane dividers which consist of individual sections hingedly joined together. The lane dividers are picked up from one side of the lane by a transfer device mounted beneath a vehicle or trailer, travelling along the center of the lane, and are slid along the transfer device and one continuously deposited on the roadway at the desired new position on the other side of the lane.
