Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the condition of the door of an elevator and determining its need for maintenance, the door comprising a door mechanism, door panels and a door operator. The signals (10) of the control system of a door in good condition are measured and a set of characteristics descriptive of the operation of the door is generated from them. The signals (10) of the door control system are measured the operation during the opening and closing movements of the door is divided into stages according to which parts of the door are functioning at each stage. From the measured signals (10), a set of characteristics descriptive of the operation of the door is generated. The set of characteristics thus generated is compared to the set of characteristics for a normal operating condition stored in memory, at least in one stage of operation. Based on the comparison of the two sets of characteristics, a diagnosis is performed to determine where and how the operation of the door and its components deviates from normal operation, and the result of the diagnosis is utilized to establish the need for servicing and a servicing date.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for changing a gauge of a railed vehicle from a first gauge (16), such as a normal gauge, to a second gauge (18), such as a broad gauge and vice versa, whereby the railed vehicle is supported on running rails in the gauges. According to the invention, it is possible to carry out a change in gauge with simple, easy to construct, space-saving measures, whereby each of the running rails (20, 22) is formed from the same rail in the first gauge (16) as in the second gauge (18) and that the rails are arranged on an adjustable support (40), running perpendicular to the rail longitudinal axis, in the region (12, 14) of the varying gauge.

Abstract: A low friction wall faces the textile and includes detachable slides in holders. <??>The slides have plane or curved, low-friction surfaces. They are essentially rectangular or square. Arranged in a row they extend in the running direction of the textile through the storage unit (10). They are in groups, such that slides of one group run transversely with respect to the conveying direction. At least locally they have gaps between adjacent slides. The slides are dished and locked against each other. The slides are held on carriers, held in turn on holders. The carriers have a frame with fasteners to the holders. The slides are each fitted to a frame and connected to it. The frames are held detachably by the holders. The frame is made of wire which joins into and is bonded with the dished slides. Fastening are located on two opposite sides of the frames and include locking bars at one end engaging hasps on the other end of the next frame. The storage unit is approximately drum-shaped, with the low friction wall formed on at least one region of its casing or base. Radial side- and/or intermediate walls are similarly low in friction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an information distribution system, especially to an audio information distribution system including one or more local systems, each being intended for personal use or for the use of a small group. In order for the system to be adapted as well as possible to the current state of the user, the user is connected as a part of the system so that his or her current state affects the way information is supplied to him/her. Thus, the user is part of the system and part of the control circuit which affects the information flow. The state of the user is evaluated by measuring at least one somatic phenomenon from him/her, and the content of the information and/or presentation parameters are changed on the basis of the measurements.

Abstract: Coding of an audio signal (x) is provided where the coded bitstream (AS) comprises a parametric representation of the audio signal. One component of the parametric representation comprises tracks of linked sinusoidal components (CS) where subsequently linked components are coded differentially from parameters of linked signal components already determined. The coder scrambles ( 18 ) the differentially encoded frequency and/or amplitude values by mapping the differential values onto other differential values (CSe). By modifying these values, the bit-stream is still decode-able but results in tracks with random frequency and/or amplitude variation. Consequently, the signal will be degraded.

Abstract: Corruption of features formed by etching a metal-containing web in a continuous etch process is reduced by distorting the original design or designs of the features to compensate for localized areas subject to excessive etching during the continuous etch process. In the case of a planar speaker diaphragm, for example, the width of the portions of the trace that are in a cross-machine direction is increased to compensate for the higher etching rate caused by the motion through the etch bath. While this causes the modified trace design to appear to be distorted relative to the original trace design, the etched trace resulting from the modified trace design has improved uniformity and greater fidelity to the original trace design than if the original trace design had been used in the continuous etch process.
