A propulsion system includes plural inverters configured to be onboard a vehicle and to convert direct current into an alternating current, and plural motors configured to receive the alternating current from the inverters. The motors also are configured to be operably coupled with axles of the vehicle to rotate the axles. The inverters are configured to be coupled with and control the motors that rotate non-neighboring axles of the axles in the vehicle.

A windshield wiper system includes a pivoting wiper arm (110), a wiper blade (120) for wiping a surface (102), and a connector assembly (130) coupling the pivoting wiper arm (110) to the wiper blade (120). The connector system (130) includes a first connecting member (140) directly coupled to the wiper arm (110) and a second connecting member (150) directly coupled to the wiper blade (120). The first connecting member (140) and the second connecting member (150) are movably coupled to each other, wherein a position of the first connecting member (140) relative to the second connecting member (150) is based on an angular position of the pivoting wiper arm (110).

Proposed is technology that enables the linked use of a camera and sensor system in a train image monitoring system. A train image monitoring system is characterized by, in a train monitoring system (100), the following: a control device (271) comprising a means for managing the device configuration of the system, a means for receiving data from each device, a means for determining the control contents of each device, and a means for transmitting a control instruction to each device; a recording device comprising a means for receiving data from each device, a means for recording received data, a means for reading out recorded data, a means for transmitting read-out data, and a means for receiving a control instruction; and a display device comprising a means for receiving data from the recording device, a means for displaying received data on a screen, a means for detecting a user operation, a means for transmitting the contents of a user operation, and a means for receiving a control instruction.

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.

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.

A dual-powered railroad vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a combustion engine having a first cooling circuit; a traction transformer having a second cooling circuit; and at least one radiator for dissipating thermal energy to surrounding air. The first cooling circuit and the second cooling circuit are configured to dissipate thermal energy via the at least one radiator. Further, a method for operating a dual-powered railroad vehicle is provided.

A locomotive sanding system is described for conveying sand from a sand tower to a sand box mounted on a locomotive. The invention is designed to prevent personnel from being subjected to sand and sand dust during the sand box being filled with sand from the sand tower. The system includes a universal sealing nozzle which may be used with the locomotive sanding system or other devices. The universal sealing nozzle includes an expansion seal extending therearound which may be moved from a retracted position to an expanded position. When the nozzle is inserted into the fill pipe of the sand box, the expansion seal is expanded to sealably engage the inside surface of the fill pipe.
