The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) is a British independent not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, which was established in 2003 upon the recommendation of the public inquiry into the Ladbroke Grove rail crash.[1] It is owned by rail industry stakeholders, including Network Rail, infrastructure managers, train operating companies and rolling stock companies.[2] As a condition of their license obligations, most train operators are required by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to be members of RSSB and to comply with the obligations of membership. [3]


According to the ORR "The RSSB's principal objective is to lead and facilitate the rail industry's work to achieve continuous improvement in the health and safety performance of the railways in Great Britain."[3]


In this regard, it is intended to lead the other bodies associated with the Great Britain rail network:


  • The Office of Rail and Road – regulatory body


  • Network Rail – owner and maintainer of rail infrastructure

  • The Rail Delivery Group – operators of services on the network

(there is also National Rail which is the public face of the rail network).


The Board is responsible for the publication and updating of the British Railway Rule Book,[4] which defines technical standards and operating procedures. The RSSB promotes the Trackoff programme promoting rail safety within schools,[5] and the Sustainable Rail Programme[6] which has been established to support the rail industry in reaching its full potential for a sustainable transport system.
In conjunction with UIC, RSSB provides SPARK, a web tool for the rail industry to share information and help drive innovation.[7]


RSSB also operates the GB railway supplier assurance scheme RISQS,[8] and the confidential incident reporting line, CIRAS.[9]

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
