20140089038 | APPLYING OF SOCIAL MEDIA METRICS FOR SUPPLIER EVALUATION - In an example embodiment, supplier management is performed first by defining one or more social media metrics pertaining to a supplier brand of interest, with the one or more social media metrics being based on data gathered from social media. These metrics may then be used to analyze values from one or more social media websites. Weights can be assigned to the values, and a score for the supplier brand of interest can be determined, based on the weighted values for the one or more social metrics and based on weighted values for one or more other metrics. The score can then be presented to a user via a graphical user interface. | 03-27-2014 |

20090083353 | TRANSITIONING A FILTER FUNCTION OF A TWO-PORT LATTICE-FORM PLANAR WAVEGUIDE OPTICAL DELAY LINE CIRCUIT FILTER FROM A START FILTER FUNCTION TO A TARGET FILTER FUNCTION - Optically coherent, two-port, serially cascaded-form optical delay line circuits can realize arbitrary signal processing functions identical to those of FIR digital filters with complex filter coefficients whilst maintaining a maximum optical transmission characteristic of 100%. The invention provides an iterative process for transitioning in a step-wise manner a filter function of an optical delay line circuit filter from a start filter function to a target filter function. The invention also describes a dynamic gain equalizer incorporating an optical delay line circuit filter. | 03-26-2009 |

20130314985 | SPIN LOGIC BASED ON PERSISTENT SPIN HELICES - A spin logic device which includes an electron confinement layer confining an electron gas in a two-dimensional area (2DEG) subtended by a direction x and a direction y, the latter perpendicular to the former. The spin logic device is configured for the 2DEG to support a persistent spin helix (PSH) formed therein with a given spin component oscillating with periodicity λ along direction x but not oscillating along direction y. Majority logic circuit of the spin logic device includes: at least one input device energizable to create respective local spin-polarizations of the 2DEG in first regions of the confinement layer. The input device is configured to detect in a second region of the confinement layer an average spin-polarization of the 2DEG diffused through resulting PSHs, wherein a projection of a distance between the second region and first regions onto direction x is equal to n λ/a, n integer, a equal to 2 or 4. | 11-28-2013 |

20120292279 | Railroad freight car draft gear - A railroad freight car multipiece spring seat assembly including a spring seat, a top plate, and a spring. The spring seat is adapted to operably engage one end of a spring assembly in a railroad freight car draft gear. The top plate is adapted to operably engage with each of a plurality of friction shoes arranged in the railroad freight car draft gear. The spring of the multipiece spring seat assembly is operably disposed between the spring seat and the top plate. | 11-22-2012 |
20130153526 | Railroad freight car draft gear assembly - A railcar draft gear assembly having an axially elongated spring assembly comprised of an axially stacked array of individual spring units and further including cooperating instrumentalities for maintaining the spring assembly generally axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the railcar draft gear assembly during operation of the draft gear assembly while maintaining the individual spring units in generally aligned relation relative to each other. | 06-20-2013 |
20130168346 | FRICTION/ELASTOMERIC DRAFT GEAR - A friction/elastomeric draft gear having a housing, a spring assembly arranged within the housing, and a friction clutch assembly having a wedge member and defining first sliding friction surface disposed at an angle θ relative to a longitudinal axis of the draft gear and a second friction surface disposed at an angle β relative to a longitudinal axis of the draft gear. The spring assembly is designed in combination with the angles θ and β of the first and second friction sliding surfaces relative to the longitudinal axis such that the draft gear consistently and repeatedly withstands between about 100 KJ and 130 KJ of energy imparted at less than three meganewtons over a range of travel of the wedge member in an inward axial direction relative to the draft gear housing not exceeding 120 mm. | 07-04-2013 |
20150014267 | ENERGY ABSORPTION/COUPLING SYSTEM FOR A RAILCAR AND RELATED METHOD FOR COUPLING RAILCARS TO EACH OTHER - An energy absorption/coupling system for a railcar including a draft assembly provided toward opposed ends of a centersill on the railcar. Each draft assembly includes a coupler and a draft gear assembly disposed in longitudinally disposed and operable relation relative to each other. The coupler is configured to allow at least 4.5 inches of travel in a single longitudinal direction during operation of the coupler. The draft gear assembly of each draft assembly is configured to consistently and repeatedly withstand up to about 110,000 ft-lbs. of energy imparted to the energy absorption/coupling system at a force level not to exceed 900,000 lbs. over a range of travel of a wedge member in an inward axial direction relative to the housing of at least 4.5 inches. With the present invention disclosure, high level impact forces between rail cars can be absorbed and dissipated while maintaining an overall length of the railcar constant and unchanged. A method for releasably coupling two railcars to each other is also disclosed. | 01-15-2015 |
