          Appeal No. 2000-1476                                                        
          Application 08/801,918                                                      


                                   THE INVENTION                                      


               The invention relates to an electronic brake controller                
          for an electropneumatic railway brake system, the controller                
          being designed to deter an operator from overshooting the                   
          amount of braking effort intended to be applied.                            
          Representative claims 1, 16 and 22 read as follows:                         
               1.  An electronic brake controller for an                              
          electropneumatic brake system comprising:                                   
               a discrete housing to be mounted in an electropneumatic                
          brake system;                                                               
               at least one brake operator mounted to said housing and                
          whose position defines a desired brake action;                              
               a display on said housing;                                             
               an output on said housing providing operator position                  
          signals;                                                                    
               an electronic controller in said housing which determines              
          the position of said operator and provides said operator                    
          position signals to said output and drives said display to                  
          instantly display said desired braking action as a function of              
          the determined position of said operator.                                   
               16.  An electronic brake controller for an                             
          electropneumatic brake system comprising:                                   
               a discrete housing means, to be mounted in an                          
          electropneumatic brake system, for housing said brake                       
          controller;                                                                 

                                          2
