      <title>DIESEL-ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEM OF RUSSIAN RIVER ICEBREAKERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/154810</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The last of the six river icebreakers, which Sudimport in Moscow ordered with the Finnish Wartsila yard in 1975, was recently handed over to the USSR customer.  AEG-TELEFUNKEN supplied the complete electric systems for all vessels including the power supply systems and the special equipment, for an order value of approximately 22 million Deutschmarks.  These systems were rated in accordance with the highest class of automation of the RSFSR (USSR Ship Register of River Navigation).  The river icebreakers are in operation on the large Siberian rivers Lena, Yenisei, and Ob, so that the shipping season, which hitherto ended approximately in October, is prolonged by about six weeks.]]></description>

      <title>DYNAMIC POSITIONING OF DRILLING PLATFORMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/141284</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Dynamic positioning systems, known as DP systems, are used to maintain the position of floating drill platforms over a fixed point on the sea bed.  DP systems maintain a constant position or accurately take up a new position by controlling fixed or maneuverable propellers.  They offer considerable advantages over anchoring systems, which are used in shallow waters.  The present article deals with the design of a DP system and describes the results of investigations.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/141333</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In the system of the German Federal Railway (DB) there are at present 260 EMU's of series 420 in operation.  A further 110 trains are now under construction or on order. AEG-TELEFUNKEN is supplying and installing the entire electrical equipment for 138 EMU's.  On the 3rd of May, 1978 the EMU No. 420 263 was officially handed over to the DB as the 100th train supplied by AEG-TELEFUNKEN.  As a result of this event, the development steps, the previous supplies and the part played therein by AEG-TELEFUNKEN are described.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This article describes the comprehensive sound system installed at Frankfurt-on-Main airport to supply the whole area as well as individual departure lounges.  The supervisory equipment in the amplifier room comprises automatic test and standby amplifier switching facilities. Announcements are transmitted from a flight information center equipped with two announcer consoles and a luminous annunciator board.  Allocation of amplifiers to zones is flexible and accomplished via a relay switching system with a crossbar distributor.  A separate installation is provided for announcements to visitors.]]></description>

      <title>ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT OF THE BAGGAGE HANDLING ISTALLATION AT FRANKFURT (MAIN) AIRPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53826</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The complex baggage handling installation is provided with extensive electrical and electronic equipment.  This covers the sectors of drive control, automation and monitoring. The construction of the systems needed for the control and automation processes demanded an exceptionally large number of components, so that the problem of reliability became very acute.  To ensure virtually failure-free operation, particular attention was paid, apart from the use of redundancy techniques for important sectors, to operation monitoring and repair.  Operating results so far fully meet the planned targets.]]></description>

      <title>IMPORTANCE OF BAGGAGE HANDLING AT A LARGE AIRPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53827</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An airport offers the airlines both technical clearance facilities and traffic clearance systems.  Within the traffic clearance system, baggage transfer must be accomplished particularly speedily and must be given high priority.  The quality of the baggage transfer system is therefore a measure of the quality of the traffic clearance facilities as a whole.  The transfer time of 45 minutes and an average failure rate of 0.02% achieved with its baggage handling plant place the Frankfurt/Main Airport in a leading position as a transfer airport.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[To match the modulation lines to the equipment installed in fixed section radio stations, AEG-Telefunken has developed a series of building-out networks and characteristic impedance matching circuits, which may be easily combined thanks to their modular principle.  In this manner the necessary matching is obtained for the various types of modulation line.  Furthermore, AEG-Telefunken has designed radiating RF cables for radio communications in tunnels and the accessories required for installation.]]></description>

      <title>HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR ON BOARD SHIP</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/46758</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On ships with high electrical power requirements, low-voltage systems are no longer adequate, so that high voltage of 3 and 7.2 kV are also necessary.  Very high demands are imposed on the necessary switchgear.  A special type of switchgear particularly suitable for this purpose is briefly described.]]></description>

      <title>UNIVERSAL RSB 1 CONTROLLER FOR ON-BOARD SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18409</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In modern vessels, more and more sub-systems are being automated.  To meet the most diverse requirements in this connection, a simple, easily adaptable controller with full capabilities has been developed.  Trials on board ship have confirmed the results of theoretical studies.  The controller is of the proportional plus derivation action type.  The derivative action of the controller has a stabilizing effect on the controlled plants.  For practical considerations, a three-point controller action with controlled pulse width and pulse frequency has been chosen as controller output signal to activate a motor.  The controller comprises integrated linear circuits; these operational amplifiers are extremely suitable for all applications arising in ship operations.  In the design, particular attention was paid to devising functional modules which are economical to manufacture and install and permit thorough testing.]]></description>
