Abstract: A triggering system for a train having a spotter control system is provided. The triggering system includes a position detection system configured to generate a position signal indicative of a position of a rail shop relative to the train. The system also includes a controller coupled to the position detection system, the spotter control system, and an engine of the train. The controller is configured to receive the position signal from the position detection system. The controller is configured to detect if the train is approaching the rail shop based on the position signal. The controller is configured to trigger a shutdown of the engine based on the detection. The controller is configured to trigger an activation of the spotter control system based on the detection.

Abstract: A notification system is presented for use within a mobile machine. The notification system may have a route upon which the mobile machine may travel. This may be a train traveling on a track. A geo-fence may also be part of the notification system. The geo-fence may enclose at least a portion of the route through with the mobile machine may travel. The notification system may also include a status notification. The status notification may relate to the operational health of the mobile machine or a subsystem of the mobile machine. The status notification may be generated by the notification system when the mobile machine enters the geo-fence and received by a user.

Abstract: A cryogenic pump system for lifting a cryogenic fluid stored in a cryogenic tank includes a first pump assembly and a second pump assembly. The first pump assembly includes a boost pump that is configured to be disposed within the cryogenic tank and pump the cryogenic fluid received from the cryogenic tank. The second pump assembly is configured to receive the cryogenic fluid from the first pump assembly. The second pump assembly includes a housing, a stator, a reciprocating member, and at least one piston. The housing is adapted to store the cryogenic fluid received from the boost pump. The stator is adapted to produce a magnetic field. The reciprocating member is disposed within the housing and is configured to move based on the magnetic field. The piston is configured to be moved by the reciprocating member to direct the cryogenic fluid from the housing out of the cryogenic tank.

Abstract: A hierarchy of procedures sets pacing schedules for trains operating in a railroad network. At a train level of the hierarchy, a network coordinator sends time windows to a train indicating when the train should arrive at or depart from a siding along its track. The time windows provide flexibility for the train to adjust its pace as needed, for example, to conserve fuel. At a territory level, if the train indicates that it cannot comply with the time windows, the coordinator evaluates and adjusts pacing schedules at least for other trains sharing the same track in the territory to avoid conflicts, again providing time windows for the trains to adjust their pace as needed. At a network level, the coordinator ensures that pacing schedules adjusted for a territory also meet time windows set for trains crossing a boundary into another territory in the network.

Abstract: A train control system includes independent virtual in-train forces modeling engines onboard each of a plurality of locomotives in a train. Each of the plurality of locomotives may also include an analytics engine and a calibration engine configured to assimilate, analyze, and calibrate real time information from the locomotives and from draft gears and couplers interconnecting the locomotives and non-powered rail cars with determinations made by the independent virtual in-train forces modeling engine onboard the respective locomotive, with the plurality of locomotives of the train being configured to operate collectively and coordinate their own acceleration values based on a common goal of minimizing in-train forces without being dependent on command and control signals from a lead locomotive or central command.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating synthetic training data for training an AI model usable to operate a train are disclosed. A method of generating the synthetic training data includes obtaining run data corresponding to a real-world run of the train. The method includes generating a physics-based simulation of the real-world run of the train. The method includes receiving a user input modifying at least one operation command of the train in the physics-based simulation. The method includes updating the physics-based simulation based on the received user input. The method includes generating the synthetic training data for training the AI model, based on the updated physics-based simulation.

Abstract: An engine power module includes a water jacket, a cylinder liner, and a cylinder head. The water jacket forms a coolant supply conduit arranged in a lower coolant annulus extending around the cylinder liner and an upper coolant annulus extending around the cylinder head. The cylinder head has formed therein an injector bore, and a plurality of drill holes convergent on the injector bore. A lower coolant cavity in the cylinder head forms a coolant flow path extending circumferentially around the injector bore between a cavity inlet opening fluidly connected to the coolant supply conduit, and a cavity connection opening fluidly connected to an upper coolant cavity. The arrangement provides flows of coolant through the drill holes to cool an injector sleeve, and separate coolant flows through the lower coolant cavity and upper coolant cavity.
