Method and apparatus for heating gases cooled by an aftercooler that receives hot gases from a compressor. The method includes the steps of directing at least a portion of said hot gases to means for bypassing the aftercooler, and using the bypass means to direct hot gases to a location that receives cooled gases from the aftercooler. The hot gases are used at the location to heat the cooled gases when ambient temperature is at or below freezing, and are used downstream from the aftercooler when moisture freezes in the aftercooler.

A valve seal system for passageway through a valve body emerging through a first generally flat and rigid surface, having a valve member including a resilient seal with generally flat exposed surface adapted to be brought into contact with the generally flat rigid surface, and having a generally circular, raised resilient ring portion extending from the generally flat exposed surface, the raised resilient ring portion adapted to be compressed against the generally flat rigid surface to seal the resilient seals against the generally flat rigid surface when said valve member is moved to a closed position by virtue of the raised resilient ring portion being compressed against the generally flat rigid surface.

An articulated coupling male connection member support assembly having an improved lubrication arrangement incorporated therein. Such support assembly includes a bottom ring bearing member supported on an upper surface of a bottom wall portion of a female connection member adjacent an outer end thereof. The bottom ring bearing member has a concave shaped spherical upper surface. An upper ring bearing member having a convex shaped spherical bottom surface is supported by such concave upper surface of the bottom ring bearing member. The upper ring bearing member has a substantially flat upper surface for supporting a bottom surface of a male connection member adjacent an outer end thereof. There is a substantially solid lubricating liner member disposed between such concave shaped spherical upper surface of the bottom ring bearing member and such convex shaped spherical bottom surface of the upper ring bearing member. This substantially solid lubricating liner member is secured to one of such concave shaped spherical upper surface and such convex shaped spherical bottom surface.

A train approach registry relay at the exit end of the approach track section at a signal location is held normally energized over its own stick contact and releases to register the track circuit detection of an approaching train. The reenergizing circuit, when the train clears the approach section, includes a back contact of the train occupancy registry relay at the entrance end of the advance track section. Thus the train occupancy registration for the approach section is not cleared until the same train is positively detected and registered into the adjoining section. In one form, the approach registry relay is in series in the approach section signal line circuit energized over a front contact of that relay. The line circuit is reenergized, when the section is again clear, over a back contact of the advance section signal line relay. In a coded track circuit form, the approach registry relay is the reverse code decoding relay for the approach section, with its own stick front contact in the capacitor decoding network. This decoding registry relay is then reenergized by a direct circuit over a back contact of the advance section, back contact decoding relay of the master code.

This invention relates to a pneumatically controlled hydraulically actuated brake apparatus of the constant brake shoe clearance type for a two-axle four-wheel vehicle truck wherein a constant brake shoe clearance is obtained by supplying a quantity of hydraulic fluid to a chamber formed between the wall surfaces of a cylinder and an actuating piston slidably disposed in the chamber in accordance with the increase in volume of the chamber as the result of brake shoe wear while a brake application is in effect and thereafter, upon effecting a brake release, always releasing the same quantity of hydraulic fluid from this chamber irrespective of the degree of brake shoe and/or wheel wear occurring while the prior brake application was in effect.

This invention relates to a vital type of selectable active lowpass filtering circuit. The selectable low-pass filtering circuit includes a half section resistance-capacitance filter network and a variable gain transistor amplifier. The input of the transistor amplifier is coupled to the half section resistance-capacitance filter network and the output of the transistor amplifier is selectively coupled to one of a plurality of load resistors each of which establishes a different gain for the transistor amplifier.

This invention relates to an operable skate type of railway car retarder including a plurality of inner and outer levers pivotally supported on the cross ties and physically disposed on opposite sides of a track rail. Each of the inner and outer pivotal levers supports an elongated braking element which is disposed parallel to the track rails. Each of the outer pivotal levers of the car retarder is operated by an actuating mechanism. Each actuating mechanism includes a power operating unit as well as a locking unit. The power operating unit utilizes a fluid piston and cylinder as well as slide piston and guide cylinder to raise the outer lever to cause the braking element to assume a braking position. The locking unit includes a fluid piston and cylinder operating a lock block which engages the slide piston and locks the lever in its braking position or disengages the slide position and releases the lever allowing the retarder to assume its nonbraking position.
摘要:
A separate transmitter source of periodic high voltage pulses is coupled to each approach section rails at the end distant from the permanent shunt across the rails at a railroad crossing. Each pulse transmits a high level oscillating current pulse through the rail loop including the intersecting rail shunt so that similar track currents flow in both approach sections. A single receiver means is coupled to each rail shunt by a separate pickup coil, the output of which is rectified to charge a storage capacitor at an averaged voltage level representative of the amplitude of the current pulses in the corresponding shunt. The voltages stored in both capacitors are applied to the dual inputs of a two channel, vital level detector and logic AND circuit element. An output signal is produced by the level detector and AND circuits only when both inputs are at or above a level representative of an unoccupied section. The output is then applied, through a relay driver circuit, to a vital type track relay to jointly register the occupancy condition of both crossing approaches.

An elevator located at the open end of a scraper bowl is rotatable upon a pair of links connecting the upper end of the elevator sidewalls to the bowl sidewalls. A pair of cams resiliently mounted on the bowl sidewalls to extend forwardly and upwardly support one end of a pair of extensible hydraulic cylinders pivotally connected to the bowl sidewalls. The cylinders include rollers as cam followers linked to the extensible end of the cylinders and rotatable upon the supportive cam surfaces. A pair of bowl hoist hydraulic cylinders pivotally connect a draft frame to the bowl near the lower open end of the bowl where a transverse scraper blade is secured. In operation, the bowl hoist cylinders are hydraulically positioned by hydraulic control means to set the position of the blade. The extensible cylinders are hydraulically controlled to position the rollers upon the cam surfaces, thus moving the lower end of the elevator in a predetermined path relative to the blade, i.e., sloping generally upwardly and forwardly.
