摘要:
A railroad monitoring apparatus includes first and second diverse vital processing units, first and second current sensors configured to measure the current being provided to one or more signaling elements of an item of wayside signaling equipment, and means for measuring voltage levels being supplied to each of the signaling elements. The first processing unit receives a first current measurement from the first current sensor and the measured voltage levels, and the second vital processing unit receives a second current measurement from the second current sensor and the measured voltage levels. The vital processing units are each programmed to determine based on one or more of the first current measurement, the second current measurement and the measured voltage levels: (i) the state of the item of railroad wayside signaling equipment, (ii) failures within the item of railroad wayside signaling equipment, and (iii) failures within the monitoring apparatus itself.
摘要:
The invention concerns an apparatus for studying quenching fluids and quenchability of materials in the form of testpieces 5, comprising a heating furnace, a means for introducing each testpiece into the quenching liquid and extracting the quenched testpiece, a quenching tank 20 containing the quenching fluid and a means for circulating the quenching fluid. According to the invention, the quenching tank 20 comprises an upper tank 21 and a lower tank 22 connected by a means 27 for organizing the circulation, the upper tank being provided with an immersed injector 40 formed by at least one circular array comprising a plurality of radial nozzles and connected to a pressurized fluid source 30, the upper part of the upper tank comprising a conduit 39 for returning the fluid to the pressurization means 30, the lower tank 32 comprising a separate pressurized fluid intake, which apparatus includes means for regulating the temperature of the fluid and means for measuring the speed of the fluid.
