摘要:
A system is provided that includes a control unit configured to be disposed on-board at least one of a first vehicle or a second vehicle. The control unit also is configured to receive an updated time of an event involving the first vehicle and the second vehicle traveling in a transportation network. The control unit also is configured to change a speed of said at least one of the first vehicle or the second vehicle in response to the updated time to arrive at the event. A method is provided that includes, at one of a first vehicle or a second vehicle, receiving an updated time of an event involving the first vehicle and the second vehicle in a transportation network. The method also includes changing a speed of said one of the first vehicle or the second vehicle in response to the updated tune to arrive at the event.

A system includes a monitoring module, a congestion module, a modification module, and a communication module. The monitoring module monitors vehicles in a transportation network. The congestion module calculates a throughput parameter that is representative of a statistical measure of adherence to a movement plan by the vehicles. The modification module determines a confidence parameter representative of a probability that changing the original meet event does not reduce the throughput parameter. The modification module modifies the original meet event to an updated meet event when the confidence parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold. The communication module transmits the updated meet event to the yielding vehicle and/or the passing vehicle, for the yielding vehicle and/or the passing vehicle to receive the updated meet event from the communication module and change a speed of the yielding vehicle or the passing rail vehicle to arrive at the updated meet event.

A lighting mount for use with battery and lighting source. Lighting mount having cavity to retain lighting source, battery holder to receive battery; mounting surface; and opening from cavity through which light from lighting source projects. Opening opens away from mounting surface and battery holder, and battery and cavity are on one side of lighting mount away from mounting surface. Cavity retains lighting source such that illumination axis can be directed at oblique angle away from mounting surface. Cavity comprises track for retaining lighting source. Battery holder comprises U-shaped channel. Lighting fixture has lighting mount and lighting source and electrical connections from battery holder to lighting source. Elongate body having lighting source holder section and battery holder section can be pivotally connected to a mounting base to allow for insertion of batteries and selection of angle between mounting surface and lighting source.

An apparatus comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first leg comprising a first surface and a second surface is disposed between the first and second ends. A second leg comprising a first surface and a second surface is disposed between the first and second ends. A first receiving groove is disposed in the first leg and forms a first pathway. A second receiving groove is disposed in the second leg and forms a second pathway. A first receiving channel is disposed in the first leg and is in communication with the first receiving groove. A second receiving channel is disposed in the second leg and is in communication with the second receiving groove. A fin is coupled to the first and second legs and is disposed between the first and second receiving channels. The fin is substantially coplanar with the first end.
摘要:
A conveyor system is provided to limit the vertical fall experienced by a product transported along the conveyor and falling into a collection bin. A sensor in a fixed position relative to the product conveying plane of the conveyor measures product collection height in a collection bin to produce an output signal. A controller dynamically varies the angle between the conveyance plane and the collection bin base plane and the vertical displacement therebetween within a preselected range in order to minimize product damage associated with different fall trajectories from the conveyor into the bin for product. Either the conveyor or the collection bin is pivoted under the command of the controller to accomplish the desired function.

A logical gate and a comparator are used to detect page boundaries in a data stream. A current address and a predetermined page size, that is an integer power of 2, are compared using a Boolean logic gate such as AND or XOR to detect a page boundary in a data stream. The output from the Boolean logic gate is compared to a predetermined value to cause a signal to be generated, indicating the end of the page.
