Power Regulation Device For Model Railway System
US Patent:
7810435, Oct 12, 2010
Filed:
Apr 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/733850
Inventors:
Lawrence C. Maier - New Haven VT, US
Anthony R. Parisi - Richmond VT, US
Anthony R. Parisi - Richmond VT, US
International Classification:
B61D 17/00
US Classification:
105 15
Abstract:
A power regulation device and method for a model railway system is provided. The device comprises inputs that connect to a supply of a digital command control (DCC) waveform and to a track section to be powered by the DCC waveform. The device comprises a current measuring circuit that measures current flow associated with the DCC waveform supplied at the inputs. A switch is connected between the inputs and outputs that are in turn connected to respective rails of the track section. A controller is provided that analyzes a current measurement signal produced by the current measuring circuit and controls the switch to disconnect supply of the DCC waveform to the outputs when a true over-current condition is detected. The device may also comprise an auto-reversing function to accommodate reverse loop track sections.
Decoder For A Stationary Switch Machine
US Patent:
8113471, Feb 14, 2012
Filed:
Sep 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/881681
Inventors:
Anthony R. Parisi - Richmond VT, US
Larry Meier - New Haven VT, US
Larry Meier - New Haven VT, US
International Classification:
B61L 25/00
US Classification:
246122A, 246 1 C, 246415 A
Abstract:
A method for controlling a model railroad stationary switch machine comprising sensing whether a train occupies a main track section near a track switch that connects between said main track section and at least two diverging track sections. An automatic switch control function for the track switch is inhibited in response to sensing that a train occupies the main track section near the track switch when a train is determined to be approaching the track switch on at least one of the diverging track sections. In addition, a method is provided for controlling a model railroad track switch comprising changing a position of the track switch, and automatically returning the track switch to a home position after expiration of a time interval following the changing of the track switch position.
Decoder For A Stationary Switch Machine
US Patent:
7810760, Oct 12, 2010
Filed:
Jan 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/341893
Inventors:
Anthony R. Parisi - Richmond VT, US

Larry Maier - New Haven VT, US
International Classification:
B61L 25/00
US Classification:
246122A, 246 1 C, 246415 A, 246473 A
Abstract:
An accessory decoder for a stationary switch machine is provided. The decoder comprises a printed circuit board including a plurality of input and output connectors in communication with a microcontroller. The microcontroller includes software that allows a user to designate at least one primary address and multiple route addresses for the decoder. The decoder receives digital control commands and, via the microprocessor, executes the commands to alter the output of the switch machine. In operation, one or more switch machines, each connected to a decoder, are coupled to the tracks of a railway system. A user transmits commands to the decoder, controlling the overall output of the system.
