Appl. No.:

17/664307

Inventors:

- Fort Worth TX, US
Samuel Minton - Brandon SD, US
Christopher Neil Pickard - Argyle TX, US
Phillip Hunt - Saginaw TX, US

Assignee:

BNSF Railway Company - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

B61L 23/04
G05B 23/02

Abstract:

A system and method for strategic track and maintenance planning (STAMP) that can provide an organizational and adaptive infrastructure configured to facilitate railroad asset management and capital planning is presented. The system can provide a railroad asset inspector with relevant data for an assigned inspection segment. Location-based functionality can acquire a device's precise location and provide only the data necessary for the inspection of a particular railroad asset by providing step-by-step input prompting based upon the device location. The system provides adaptive thresholding of asset-related criteria to determine whether and when asset maintenance should occur. The system can acquire inspection data for one or more railroad assets, apply a data optimization algorithm to the inspection data, analyze railroad asset-related data (including historical data), and generate an optimized capital plan with a schedule for railroad asset maintenance and replacement.

International Classification:

B61L 23/04
B61K 9/08

Abstract:

A Railroad Tie Management System is disclosed that can provide an efficient and organized method of inspecting and auditing ties in a rail system. Tie mark files can be retrieved by a client from a server or database in operable communication with the client, and upon instantiation of an inspection process governed by the system, an inspection information table and tie grid can be generated. The tie grid can operable to receive commands from a user, and the inspection information table is operable to automatically increment and decrement fields contained within in response to changes within the tie grid. The tie grid can also be configured to incorporate data from tie scans and serve the data to the client in a useful and user-friendly manner.

Assignee:

Conagen Inc. - Bedford MA

International Classification:

C12P 19/56

Abstract:

The present invention relates, at least in part, to the production of steviol glycoside rebaudioside I through the use of variant UGT enzymes having activity to transfer a glucosyl group from UDP-glucose to rebaudioside A to produce rebaudioside I.
