A fuel control system obtains a measured amount of fuel consumed by an engine and one or more corresponding operating parameters of the engine and determines a fuel consumption modeled amount based at least in part on a fuel consumption model of the engine and the one or more operating parameters. The fuel consumption model associates different amounts of fuel that, when supplied to the engine, generate corresponding designated outputs of the engine. The system also determines one or more differentials between the measured amount of fuel and the modeled amount and, responsive to the one or more of the differentials exceeding a threshold value, the system identifies one or more components of the powered system that contribute or cause the one or more differentials and/or changes an amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to the fuel consumption model to obtain a desired output of the engine.

A method for supplying gaseous fuel from a tender car to an internal combustion engine on a locomotive comprising storing the gaseous fuel at a cryogenic temperature in a cryogenic storage tank on the tender car; pumping the gaseous fuel to a first pressure from the cryogenic storage tank; vaporizing the gaseous fuel at the first pressure; and conveying the vaporized gaseous fuel to the internal combustion engine; whereby a pressure of the vaporized gaseous fuel is within a range between 310 bar and 575 bar.

The invention relates to an arrangement for supplying a rail vehicle with electrical energy. One electrical machine is allocated to each of at least two internal combustion engines for generating electrical energy. A common controller is designed to start the internal combustion engines individually as required. At least one pre-heating device is designed to pre-heat the internal combustion engines before a start. A temperature detection device is thermally coupled to the internal combustion engines. The controller is designed, during an operation of one of the internal combustion engines, to start another of the internal combustion engines if, due to cooling of the other internal combustion engine, a temperature of the other internal combustion engine detected by a temperature identifying device reaches or exceeds a temperature threshold.

An information display system configured to unidirectionally display an image to inside or outside of a space via a transparent projected member provided in the space includes an image projection apparatus arranged inside the space and configured to generate and project image light by modulating a light flux from a light source, a transparent sheet provided on an inner surface of a display region set on a part of the projected member, and a light direction changing panel configured to change a direction of the image light from the image projection apparatus toward the transparent sheet of the display region, and the transparent sheet includes a retardation plate, an absorption type polarization plate that absorbs a specific polarized wave, and a transparent diffusion sheet material having a light diffusion function, and projects the image light whose direction has been changed by the light direction changing unit to the inside or the outside of the space.
