Abstract: An elevator system includes an elevator car having a car door, a drive unit for moving the elevator car along an elevator shaft wall provided with shaft doors and a controller for controlling movement of the elevator car along the elevator shaft wall. A separate fault detecting device is mounted in a region of each of the shaft doors and in a region of the car door for generating fault information to controller. A status detecting unit generates to the controller status information about a position and a speed of the elevator car. In the case of a fault in the region of one of the shaft doors, the controller permits operation of the elevator car between those floors that can be reached by the elevator car without having to pass the floor at the shaft door where the fault has occurred.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for a drive shaft (6), which drive shaft is arranged at its first end for operative connection with a drive mechanism (4) that applies a first torque to the drive shaft, and which drive shaft is arranged at its second end for operative connection with a mechanism (9) driven by the drive shaft. The invention is characterized in that the drive shaft (6) has, at at least one of its ends, a notch (15) arranged so as to receive a connector (12, 10) for the associated mechanism, and in that the wall (7) of the notch is made, in at least one area at said end, of fiber composite material comprising a first set of fibers that extends into the notch wall in a direction falling roughly within a range of +( 10° -80°) relative to the longitudinal direction of the drive shaft, where the positive range of angles indicates that the fibers are oriented in the first direction of torque. The first torque is thereby arranged so as to bring about transverse contraction of the shaft in said notch area so as to impose a clamping grip on the associated mechanism connector.

The overt region 3 and the covert region 4 may be arranged at different locations or may overlap, or may be positionally aligned. The overt letter/design pattern and the covert letter/design pattern may be the same or different. An overt recording that is printed using liquid-crystal ink may also function as a covert recording by employing a genuineness inspection method using a circularly polarized plate. A sticker may be provided with one or a plurality of cuts such that the sticker is broken when peeled off, so that it cannot be reused. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical branching component particularly suitable for use as a tap device is described. The component has two optical waveguides in proximity with one another in at least two regions so as to form at least two adjacent directional couplers, and between the two directional couplers there is an effective optical path length difference between the two waveguides. The coupling strength of each of the two adjacent directional couplers monotonically decreases with increasing wavelength in the operational wavelength region of the component. This means couplers with relatively large coupling strength and relatively low polarisation dependent loss can be used in the component, giving low polarisation dependent variation in the tap ratio, particularly for small tap ratios.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de traitement d'image pouvant exécuter un amincissement sur tous les pixels utilisés. Elle concerne également un procédé de traitement d'image, un support d'enregistrement, et un programme associé. Lorsqu'un filtre (1,0,1,0,1)/3 est appliqué à des pixels verts sur une première ligne, utilisés comme pixels cibles dans un filtre passe-bas à composante horizontale, les pixels verts sont multipliés par 1, les pixels rouges sont multipliés par 0, et un total de ces valeurs de pixels est divisé par 3 pour permettre ainsi de calculer une moyenne simple des pixels cibles et des pixels verts adjacents. Lorsque les pixels rouges sur la première ligne sont utilisés comme pixels cibles, une moyenne des pixels cibles et des pixels rouges adjacents est calculée de la même façon. Les pixels verts et les pixels bleus sur une deuxième ligne sont filtrés de manière identique. Etant donné que tous les troisièmes pixels d'une composante horizontale un amincissement est réalisé au niveau d'une unité d'amincissement 1/3 horizontale, un groupe de pixel d'amincissement composé de moyennes simples de chaque troisième pixel servant de pixels cibles et de pixels adjacents de la même couleur est généré. L'invention s'applique au domaine des caméras numériques.
