The other chemicals may include zinc oxide, peroxide curative, antioxidant, coagents and processing aids.

CRYOGENIC FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ENGINE

The cryogenic fuel supply system for an engine is arranged in locomotive two sections connected by an inter-section connection for the purpose of transferring fuel from one section to the other. There is a cryogenic reservoir for storage of a liquefied cryogenic fuel, a positive-displacement high-pressure cryogenic pump, an oil heat-exchanger, a gas heat-exchanger, a gas mixer, a gas receiver, a fuel filter, a controlled gas metering unit, pipelines, valves, controlled valves, and a control unit. The cryogenic fuel supply system further includes an intermediate buffer arranged between the cryogenic reservoir and the positive-displacement high-pressure pump and connected to the cryogenic reservoir by pipelines and to the positive-displacement high-pressure cryogenic pump by a pipeline and two additional pipelines. The additional pipeline is used both for discharging excess cryogenic fuel from the pump to the intermediate buffer and for maintaining a required pressure in the intermediate buffer and the cryogenic reservoir.

Vehicle control device

In a housing of a vehicle control device are formed a suction port for taking outdoor air and a discharge port for discharging air taken in through the suction port. A flow passage that connects the suction port and the discharge port is formed inside the housing. A blocking member, a radiator, and a blower are provided in the flow passage. The blocking member is provided at a position where the blocking member faces at least a portion of an opening face of the suction port in the flow passage and a distance between the blocking member and the suction port is in a predetermined range.

INTERLOCK MECHANISM FOR VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
20170350164 · 2017-12-07 · ·

In an interlock system, locking of a second locking mechanism is enabled only when a first key holding part holds a first key and a control device is in a state in which a residual voltage of the control device is not discharged. Application of a power supply voltage to the control device is enabled by switching of a ground switch only when a second key holding part holds a second key. Removal of the second key from the second key holding part is enabled only when the ground switch is in the grounded position and the control device is in a grounded state. Removal of the first key from the first key holding part is enabled only when the control device is in a state in which residual voltage is discharged.

Autonomous Rail Coupling Shuttle System (A.R.C.S System)

This system utilizes autonomous rail cars that automatically couple and uncouple to and from a primary moving train. The primary train travels along a given route but never needs to stop at intermediate stations. Instead, autonomous rail cars gather passengers or goods at designated station locations and then automatically depart in order to meet up with the primary train. When the autonomous rail cars couple to the primary train, the contents of the autonomous rail car are transferred to the primary train. Likewise, contents that are already aboard the primary train which need to depart will be loaded onto this autonomous rail car. When the primary train approaches the next station, the autonomous rail car will detach and stop at the station while the primary train continues to travel on. This process repeats for each station on the route.
