Abstract: The present invention is intended to obtain an elevator apparatus in which a first car and a second car connected with opposite ends of a main rope are able to land at the same time. The construction is such that the first and second cars are connected with the opposite ends of the main rope wrapped around a sheave and a deflector wheel, respectively, and a landing correction device for vertically moving a cab of the second car with respect to a car frame is arranged between the cab and the car frame. After the first car has landed on a set landing floor, the cab is moved up and down with respect to the car frame by the landing correction device, whereby a landing deviation of the second car can be corrected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new analysis method to determine chemical
compositions and states of metal materials. It includes the continuous steps of: using
metallic discharge electrodes to perform the continuous spark discharge on the sample
which is moved relative to the electrodes; dispersing the excited spark spectrum to
form the linear spectrum with preset wavelength; recording the positions of every
single spark discharge and the spectrum signals rapidly and at real-time; transferring
the spectrum signals into electrical signals which are then inputted into signal memory;
using a computer to statistically analyze the linear spectrum obtained from the single
spark discharge, by which the distribution of chemical compositions, segregation,
porosity and inclusion in the sample are resulted and then outputting these results.
According to the present invention, the sample is subject to continuous excitation and
synchronous scanning without pre-sparking, and every single spark spectrum signals
is rapid collected and digital analyzed. Thus the original state of inclusion in sample
without re-melting is obtained and various parameters for elements in sample, such as
chemical compositions, segregation, porosity and inclusion content and distribution of
these parameters are able to be simultaneously determined with one time scanning.

period from detection of an immediately preceding PCR to
detection of the present PCR, as a value resulting from
adding a value obtained by multiplying the number of
pictures by 3003 to an STC of the immediately preceding
