    Abstract: A long distance auxiliary drive tender for railroad locomotives which stores significant quantities of fuel and delivers the fuel to the locomotives while underway and which also includes traction motor drive axles powered by the locomotive generators. The traction motors are also capable of providing dynamic braking. Preferably, the auxiliary drive tender will also store and transfer lubrication oil, water, and sand for the locomotives. The auxiliary drive tender operates much like a B-unit in conventional MU operations except that it does not have its own power source.

    Abstract: A system in accordance with the invention allows a signal processing system to be configured to perform almost any signal processing function. Such a system includes a redefinable signal processing subsystem and a function-specific module. The system can be defined to perform a particular function by attaching a function-specific module to the redefinable subsystem and downloading function-defining code into the subsystem. The redefinable subsystem includes at least a DSP, a local memory interface, a host interface, and a function module interface. The function-specific module includes at least a subsystem interface, an identifier storage unit, a signal format converter, and a communication adapter. In operation, after a function-specific module is coupled to the subsystem, the subsystem receives a function identifier from the identifier storage unit on the module. The subsystem then requests and receives function-defining code from a host. The function-defining code is maintained in an auxiliary memory and portions thereof are periodically distributed to a local memory, coupled to the subsystem via the local memory interface, at which time the code modules are available for execution by the DSP. When engaged in communications, the module receives data from the DSP through a high speed digital serial channel. The module converts the data format with its signal format converter and then passes the converted data to the communication adapter. The communication adapter conditions the data for conveyance to an external communication signal delivery media.

    Abstract: A baluster driver tool for rotating a baluster to threadably secure it to a support. The driver tool includes a housing having a connector at one end for connecting it to a drill and a baluster-engaging member at the opposite end for receiving the baluster. The baluster-engaging member includes a cavity that is complementary sized and shaped to receive an end of the baluster. When the drill is activated, the housing rotates about its longitudinal axis causing the baluster to rotate in unison with the housing and securing a threaded end of the baluster into the support. In a second embodiment, a smooth tapered end of a baluster is received within a threaded tapered cavity in the housing. The threads secure the smooth tapered end of the baluster within the cavity so that rotation of the housing causes the baluster to rotate in unison therewith and securing the threaded end of the baluster to the support.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes a first processor, which in some embodiments includes a DSP, and a first memory pool and a second memory pool. The second memory pool is primarily associated with the DSP and stores code that is available for execution by the DSP. A plurality of code modules are stored in the first memory pool, which in some embodiments is associated with a second processor. The code modules are individually and dynamically swapped into the first memory pool, which in some embodiments is not large enough to simultaneously store all of the code modules. In some instances, the dynamic code module swapping is done at the direction of a second processor, which is aware of the state of the DSP execution. In other instances, the dynamic code module swapping is done at the direction of the DSP. In each instance, dynamic code swapping is performed in a manner that minimizes or eliminates any halts in DSP instruction execution.

    Abstract: An adjustable spacer tool for spacing balusters includes an extendable pantograpic assembly having a first and second end and including evenly-spaced parallel uprights and X-shaped sets of cross-bars pivotally connected to one another. Each X-shaped set is pivotally connected to a pair of uprights adjacent upper ends thereof and pivotally and slidably connected to the uprights adjacent lower ends thereof. An arm, finger and cam extend outwardly from each end of the assembly to provide spacing between each end of the assembly and a desired surface for various sets of same-width balusters. Each arm is pivotally connected to one end of the assembly and to one end of the finger. The other end of the finger is pivotally and slidably connected to a respective end of the assembly. Each cam is pivotally connected to the arm distal the assembly. Removable connections permit adjustment of the overall length of the tool and replacement of parts.
