Title: Double-decker or multi-decker elevator
Inventor: KOCH WALTER
IPC: B66B1/24
Filed: 1999-02-02
Granted: 2008-06-17
Abstract: This double-decker elevator (7) is equipped with a deck--distance drive machine (DA) which by reference to positional information adjusts the distances between the individual cars (5, 6) in such a way that each car (5, 6) can stop at the corresponding floor (E1...E6) accurately, which means without forming a step. Measured values of position are stored in memories (RAM13, 14) and periodically updated so as to detect any changes such as, for example, building settlement. Based on this data the necessary deck-distances are calculated which are necessary for all the cars (5, 6) to stop without any of them forming a step. Furthermore, the method and the device can be correspondingly extended for a multi-decker elevator and for any type of control (conventional control, destination call control, etc.).

Patent CA-2268757-C (CA)

IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1999-04-07
Granted: 2004-08-31
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for indefinitely queuing telephone calls in a call center independent of the telephone instrument deployed in the call center. The system includes a plurality of call center telephones, an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) connected to the call center agent telephones and a Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI) link connected with a multi-call handling (MCH) server having multiple call handling (MCH) application and a data repository. Call center technicians create a first new route point and a second new route point in the ACD using the ACD's configuration program. A client application pinning on the MCH server monitors telephone calls to the plurality of call center agent telephones through the CTI link. In response to a command from the client application of a call queue request for a call on a particular agent telephone, the MCH application running on the MCH server creates an index for the call, sets a timer for a duration less than the default call timeout period for the ACD, and directs the ACD to transfer the call in the first new route point. Prior to expiration of the default timeout period, the MCH application directs the ACD to transfer the call to the second new route point. The data repository retains the index for each call processed by the MCH  application. Storing the unique index for each call allows the MCH application to keep track of each call and enable the MCH application to retrieve a particular call, providing the agent with the ability to selectively retrieve or discard parked calls. The invention is also applicable to robotic call servicing applications that need to park calls and retrieve them. In such embodiments, the MCH application receives instructions from the robotic application rather than the client application.

Abstract: A secure enclosure (10) for an automated banking machine includes a chest portion (12) and a moveable door (14). The door is supported on hinge assemblies (20, 22) which enable mounting and accurately positioning the door despite misalignment of the hinges. One hinge assembly includes a pin (156) which has a ball (186) thereon. The pin is accepted into a larger bore (164) of the other hinge assembly despite axial misalignment of the hinge and bore. The bore has an adjusting screw (188) movably positioned therein which engages the ball when the hinge assemblies are connected. Movement of the adjusting screw enables adjusting the relative positions of the hinge assemblies. In making the secure enclosure one hinge assembly is attached to the chest while the other hinge assembly is attached to the door. The hinge assemblies are connected to movably mount the door on the enclosure. The hinges are adjusted so that dead bolt projections (150) on the door engage aperture (62) when the door is in a closing position.

Title: Circuit intended to remove currents of surface on metals and related technique
Inventor: YABLONOVITCH ELI
IPC: H01Q13/08
Filed: 1999-03-29
Granted: 2004-08-03
Abstract: A two dimensional periodic pattern of capacitive and inductive elements (12, 14) defined in the surface of a metal sheet are provided by a plurality of conductive patches (62) each connected to a conductive bac k plane sheet (30) between which an insulating dielectric (26) is disposed. The elements act to suppress surface currents in the surface defined by them. In particular, the array forms a ground plane mesh (24) for use in combination with an antenna. The performance of the ground plane mesh is characterized by a frequency band within which no substantial surface currents are able to propagate along the ground plane mesh. Use of such a ground plane in aircraft or other metallic vehicles thereby prevents radiation from the antenna from propagati ng along the metallic skin of the aircraft or vehicle. The surface also reflects electromagnetic waves without the phase shift that occurs on a normal metal surface.
