Finding Groups in Data: An Introduction to Cluster Analysis

An electrical signal transmission system, applicable to the transmission of signals from trackside hot box detector equipment for railroad locomotives and rolling stock, wherein a basic pulse train is transmitted whereof the pulses are of a selected first amplitude and represent a train axle count, and a spike pulse of greater selected amplitude is transmitted, occurring immediately after the axle count pulse to which it relates, whenever an overheated axle box is detected. To enable the signal receiving equipment to determine on which side of a train the overheated box is located, the spike pulses are of two different amplitudes corresponding, respectively, to opposite sides of the train.
