摘要： A relay valve configuration which can be used with various cars in an electropneumatic train and under the control of one of the electropneumatic brake control valves. The improved brake control valve includes a relay valve mounted at an interface of the manifold. The valve has a source inlet connected to the reservoir interface port, an inlet connected to atmosphere, an outlet connected to the brake cylinder interface port and a control inlet connected to the exhaust interface port. The valve is responsive to the control inlet connected to the exhaust interface port to selectively connect the brake cylinder interface port either to the reservoir interface port or atmosphere. The exhaust interface port in AAR is known as the retainer port. A check valve/choke is also mounted on the manifold of the interface and is in the same housing as the relay valve.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for determining an orientation of a drilling tool of a drilling system configured to drill a borehole into the Earth's surface. The method includes providing a survey system including at least one sensor within the drilling system. The sensor is configured to provide orientation information. The survey system is operable at a plurality of resolution levels. The method further includes operating the survey system at a first resolution level while the drilling tool is a first distance relative to the surface. The method further includes operating the survey system at a second resolution level while the drilling tool is a second distance relative to the surface. The second distance is larger than the first distance. The second resolution level is higher than the first resolution level.

摘要： A microprocessor having input fluid brake control apparatus and output fluid brake application apparatus is provided wherein the output fluid brake application apparatus comprises a digital signal characteristic of a desired fluid braking pressure. The brake application apparatus comprises an improved fluid pressure regulator having a fluid pressure chamber for developing and maintaining a regulated braking fluid pressure. The improved regulator has valves selectively operable to brake application, release, and lap positions for selectively governing regulated fluid pressure in a braking device and in the fluid pressure chamber. A digital linear actuator having an axially operable shaft responsive to the digital signal is provided to actuate the valves alternately to application and release positions, the actuator being secured to a piston subject to pressure in the fluid pressure chamber on one side thereof and subject to pressure of a metering spring on the other side thereof. The valves are governed by a spool that is linearly actuated by the actuator.
