Abstract: A tensioning device includes a circular spring, and a pulley rotatably connected to the circular spring. The pulley includes a circumferential groove, which has a V-shaped cross-section defined by two lateral converging walls. The pulley also includes a flexible rope having a variable cross section, extending between a first end connected to the pulley and a second end intended to be connected to the cable. The pulley is rotatably movable around an axis, between a first position in which the flexible rope is arranged in the circumferential groove around the axis, and a second position in which the flexible rope is unwound.

Abstract: Method for detecting rail switches degradation and failures, the method having the steps of applying a Discrete Wavelet Transform to stored measurement data relative to a switch move to be analysed and obtaining a feature vector associated with said switch move and including Discrete Wavelet Transform coefficients delivered by the applied Discrete Wavelet Transform; comparing the obtained feature vector with feature vectors associated with rail switch moves previously obtained and associating each to a respective health class among several given health classes; and determining a health class for the said switch move to be analyzed by selecting one of the health classes associated with the previously obtained feature vectors based upon the comparison step.

Abstract: This electrical switching apparatus has at least two power components each including first and second power transistors. A driver control device of the transistors is configured to deliver a first control signal to each of the first transistors and a second control signal to each of the second transistors, and an electrical interconnect device connecting the driver control device to the power components. The interconnect device includes several electrically conductive plates extending parallel to one another, each being connected between a control electrode of one of the first or second power transistors and a corresponding output of the driver control device.

Abstract: A railroad track circuit determines occupancy status of a portion of a railroad track, and includes: a track including first and second rails; a transmitter including first and second connection terminals to generate a voltage between connection terminals; and first and second receiver units, each including first and second measurement terminals, the first and second receiver units measuring voltage between first and second measurement terminals. The output connection terminals of the transmitter connect to the respective rails at a first connection location, using first and second cables. The first measurement terminal of the first receiver unit is connected to the first rail at a second connection location, using a third cable and the first measurement terminal of the second receiver unit is connected to the first rail at a third location, using a fourth cable, the second and third locations forming respectively first and second boundaries of the track circuit.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an insulating joint for electrically insulating a pair of adjacent rail sections of a railway track, each rail section extending along a longitudinal axis and defining at least one connecting surface substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a plurality of lateral surfaces extending along the longitudinal axis. The insulating joint comprises a joint body having substantially the same cross section as the rail sections and defining two contacting surfaces, each contacting surface being intended to be in contact with the connecting surface of one of the rail sections. The joint body is made from an insulating material comprising a reinforcing structure made of metal or carbon fibers, the reinforcing structure being placed inside of the joint body with a distance from the contacting surfaces.
