20140269814 | INTEGRITY VERIFICATION OF IR DETECTORS FOR A RAIL VEHICLE - An apparatus for integrity verification of an IR detector that is configured to detect a temperature of an IR emission from an undercarriage component is described. The apparatus includes an IR emitter which emits an IR signal at a reference temperature and the IR signal is directed at the IR detector. A controller is connected to the IR detector and the IR emitter. The controller is configured to compare the reference temperature of the IR signal and the detected temperature of the IR signal to determine the integrity of the IR detector. | 09-18-2014 |
20130270397 | DEVICE FOR DETECTING A HOT WHEEL CONDITION - A device for a detecting a hot box condition on a rail vehicle comprising a housing removably coupled to an undercarriage component of the rail vehicle, the housing being coupled magnetically; and a temperature sensor positioned within the housing. | 10-17-2013 |
20130270396 | METHOD OF DETECTING AND SIGNALLING A HOT BOX CONDITION - A method of detecting and signalling a hot box condition on a rail vehicle comprising the steps of acquiring temperature data from undercarriage components of the rail vehicle through temperature sensors provided in hot box detection devices; relaying temperature data through a wireless network of the hot box detection devices to a data recorder. | 10-17-2013 |
