A hybrid energy locomotive system having an energy storage and regeneration system. In one form, the system can be retrofitted into existing locomotives, or installed as original equipment. The energy storage and regeneration system captures dynamic braking energy, excess motor energy, and externally supplied energy and stores the captured energy in one or more energy storage subsystems, including a flywheel, a battery, an ultra-capacitor, or a combination of such subsystems. The energy storage and regeneration system can be located in a separate energy tender vehicle. The separate energy tender vehicle is optionally equipped with traction motors. An energy management system is responsive to power storage and power transfer parameters, including data indicative of present and future track profile information, to determine present and future electrical energy storage and supply requirements. The energy management system controls the storage and regeneration of energy accordingly.

The device according to claim 1, wherein said arc-shaped plate includes a sliced meat separate and guide ring mounted to one surface of said circular blade, said ring having a circumference less than a circumference of said circular blade, a sloped portion of said ring along said inclined portion separating the sliced meat from the blade and guiding the sliced meat outwardly from the blade. 4. A sliced meat separating and guide device for use with a meat slicer having a blade with a curved cutting portion, comprising: a generally arc-shaped plate having a radius of curvature smaller than a radius of said curved cutting portion such that said cutting portion of said blade extends beyond an outer edge of said plate, said blade including an inclined portion and a sharpened edge; and means for holding said generally arc-shaped plate on a slicer housing at a position around the blade in a way such that horizontal and vertical positions of said plate relative to said cutting portion of said blade are adjustable; said outer edge of said plate sloping toward said blade to end substantially along said inclined portion, the slope of said plate acting to separate the sliced meat from the blade and guide the sliced meat to drop from the blade onto a support surface while spreading the sliced meat out. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the blade is circular. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein said arc-shaped plate includes a sliced meat separate and guide ring mounted to one surface of said circular blade, said ring having a circumference less than a circumference of said circular blade, a sloped portion of said ring along said inclined portion separating the sliced meat from the blade and guiding the sliced meat outwardly from the blade. 7. The device according to claim 5, wherein said two connecting arms are of substantially equal length. 8. The device according to claim 4, wherein the blade is a chop cutter. 9. The device according to claim 8, wherein said two connecting arms are of substantially equal length. 10. The device according to claim 4, wherein said holding means includes a locking boss fitted over a rotating shaft of the blade, with two support arms being integrated with the locking boss, two connection arms being integrated with said generally arc-shaped plate and individually having a longitudinal hole, said plate being thus connected to the support arms by locking bolts passing through the longitudinal holes. ing the book during transport of the book by the conveyor belts so that the spine of the book is positioned away from said conveyor belts, said conveyor belts defining perforations; a generally horizontally disposed rotatable cutter blade spaced from said support structure and spaced from said conveyor belts for engaging the book at a location on the book positioned between said support surface and said conveyor belts during continuous transport of the book by the conveyor with the book in engagement with said support structure to sever the spine thereof from the cover portions and pages thereof along a line of severance substantially parallel to said path of movement, said conveyor belts operable to move said cover portions and pages away from the severed spine; and separator structure spaced from said rotatable cutter blade, said separator structure including vacuum applicators in communication with the perforations defined by said conveyor belts to apply a vacuum through said conveyor belts to both of said cover portions, said conveyor belts diverging away from one another at a location spaced from said rotatable cutter blade to move said cover portions away from one another and away from said pages after severing of the spine from the rest of the book by the rotatable cutter blade. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 additionally comprising biasing means for urging said conveyor belts toward one another with the book positioned between said book engagement surfaces. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said conveyor belts form closed loops. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said conveyor includes at least a first and a second rotatable spindle contacting one of said conveyor belts and a third and a fourth rotatable spindle contacting the other of said conveyor belts. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said conveyor includes a motor operatively associated with at least one of said rotatable spindles for rotating said at least one rotatable spindle. 01, entitled: METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A SOLID CAP FOR A MULTI-COMPONENT AMMUNITION PROJECTILE AND PRODUCT.
