Title: Method and equipment for the evacuation of lift passengers
Inventor: BLOCH HANSPETER
IPC: B66B5/02
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: In this lift installation a lift cage (2) together with lift passengers is stuck between, for example, the uppermost storey and the second-uppermost storey. The safety brake (16) is not engaged. The drive unit (6) is free of current and is braked by means of a brake of the drive unit (6). The brake can be released manually. If the lift cage (2) together with the lift passengers is in weight equalisation with the counterweight (4), the lift cage (2) remains stationary when the brake is released. In this case an additional force (K) must act on the lift cage (2) for the evacuation of the lift passengers. Through the additional force (K) the friction forces are overcome and the lift cage (2) drawn downwardly. For producing the additional force (K) there can be used a cable pull (25) which is connected at one end with the limiter cable (19) and is anchored at the other end in the shaft pit (20).

Patent CA-2375983-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DINEL HENRI
IPC: C05F11/04
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A process for converting composted organic material produced by optimized composting procedures into pure organic fertilizer for agronomic and other uses, particularly the expanding organic food market. It is essential that only organic wastes that are compatible with being certified organic are used for the composting step. In the first step, the raw organic matter is processed into compost by optimized standard methods, and is screened to remove all particles approximately 1 cm in size or greater. This coarse material is recycled back into the composting process. In the second step, the material below 1 cm is further screened to sep-arate out the compost fine particles of 1 mm or less. A major proportion of the particles should be below 150 microns. The particles between 1 mm and 1 cm are rejected, and may be used for other purposes. In the third step, the compost fine particles are pelleted at a pressure between 2,000 and 6,000 psi to form a pure organic fertilizer pellet of an appropriate density so that the nutrients will be released into a soil medium, or plant substrate, at a rate required for optimum plant growth. The compression process binds the fine particles together, and assists in the timed release of the nutrients from the pure organic fertilizer pellet. The pure organic fertilizer pellets can be applied to organic farm fields, market gardens, and the like, in the normal way.

Title: Individual segment adhesive correction weight
Inventor: GROSS PETER L
IPC: G01M1/32
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A weight for correcting imbalance in a rotary element includes a number of discrete weights. The number of discrete weights is selected to substantially correct the imbalance. A piece of double sided tape has sufficient length for the number of discrete weights to be adhered to the length of double sided tape. A removable film protects the side of the tape opposite the side to which the discrete weights are adhered. The film reduces the likelihood of contamination until the film is removed to expose the side of the tape opposite the side to which the discrete weights are adhered, permitting the weight to be applied to the rotary element.
