Title: Group control for lifts with immediate allocation of target calls in dependence on the call entry location on a storey
IPC: B66B1/20
Filed: 1991-02-04
Granted: 1993-01-21
Abstract: With this group control, the cages of a group of lifts can be selected for embarking passengers in such a way that the embarking passengers arrive at the shaft door of the selected lift before the selected cage, thus reducing unnecessarily long stops. For this purpose, every lift is provided with a memory (15), in which the times required by a passenger on a floor to move from respective actuated call registering and display devices to the shaft doors of the lifts are stored. A comparator (16) connected to the memory (15) compares the time allocated to the actuated call registering and display device with the time required by the cage to move to the call input floor. If the travelling time is less than the time required by the passenger to reach the shaft door concerned, a switching device (17) connected to the output of the comparator (16) becomes active in such a way that the lift concerned is excluded from the call allocation method.

Patent AU-635429-B2 (AU)
Title: A method for regulating power in a digital mobile telephony system
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1991-06-20
Granted: 1993-03-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of regulating or adjusting the transmission power when transmitting signals between a mobile station and a base station in a digital mobile telephony system. The output power is regulated with the intention of constantly maintaining the transmission power at an optimum level, by which is meant that the transmission power is as low as possible such as to prevent unnecessary disturbance of neighbouring channels transmitting information on the same frequency, but sufficiently high for the transmitted information to be interpreted in the receiver. According to the inventive method, the measurement values of signal strength and signal-transmission quality are collected (1). The mean values of the signal strength and transmission quality (2) are calculated on the basis of the collected measurement values. With the aid of the calculated mean values, there is calculated an anticipated value of signal strength (Z_SS) and transmission quality (Z_QQ) at the next time-point t1, provided that the transmission power is maintained unchanged in relation to the transmission power at the present or instant time-point (t0). Finally, the transmission power (MS_PWR) at the next time-point (t1) is regulated on the basis of these anticipated values (Z_SS, Z_QQ). The transmission power (MS_PWR) is increased when the anticipated transmission quality is poorer than the desired quality and is increased when the anticipated quality is higher than the highest permitted quality or when the anticipated signal strength is greater than the maximum permitted value. The transmission power is otherwise maintained unchanged. <IMAGE>

Patent DE-2212937-B2 (DE)
Title: Electromagnetic single disc brake with small clearance - has automatic compensation for brake lining wear and has armature disc supported by annular spring on intermediate carrier
IPC: F16D65/54
Filed: 1972-03-17
Abstract: The brake typically forms part of an electric motor. The stationary brake coil (23) and pad (24) are mounted in a housing (21). The armature disc (20) is attached to a support plate (19) by an annular spring (25) such that the disc bears against the plate in the deenergised state. The plate (19) is attached to a carrier (11) solidly coupled to the motor shaft (10). The drive between carrier (11) and plate (19) is through cylindrical pins (38) fitted in holes in the carrier which also contains friction elements (14). The force exerted by these elements is greater than that of the annular spring (25), but less than that generated by the brake magnet. Thus, with the coil energised, if the disc (20) reaches the limit of travel allowed by the spring (25) before making contact with the brake pad (24) the disc and plate assembly moves relative to the carrier (11) until the brake is engaged. Automatic compensation for brake wear is thus provided.
Patent DE-2213788-B2 (DE)
Title: Demodulation circuit for phase-keyed digital signals - uses coherent and phase-difference demodulators to separate start pulses
IPC: H04L27/227
Filed: 1972-03-22
Abstract: The demodulation system, for phase-keyed digital signals, prevents the derivation of correlation peaks being affected by the long build up times that can occur when obtaining the carrier in coherent demodulation circuits. The likelihood of error is consequently reduced and the drop-out rate of start pulses decreased. The start pulse and the digital signals are separated by passing them to a coherent demodulator (KD) and to a phase difference demodulator. The phase difference demodulator's output is fed to a correlation receiver (KE1) to obtain in the start pulse.
