Title: Braking unit for elevator
Inventor: GONG ZHU
IPC: B66B5/16
Filed: 2015-12-29
Abstract: A braking unit for an elevator or lift comprises a vertically aligned gear 1 held by a horizontal bracket 6 attached to the elevator, which engages with a vertical rack 2 mounted on the elevator shaft. A wheel 3, also mounted on the bracket engages with the rear, smooth surface of the vertical rack. Vertical brackets 7 extend upwards and downwards from the axis of the gear on both sides. The distal ends of these vertical brackets hold the axes of two smaller gears (4, fig 2) that engage with the larger gear. Springs 8 connect the axes off the smaller gears with the axis of the wheel to the rear of the rack and are held in tension by a pin 9. The pin is mounted on the horizontal bracket and can enter and leave holes in the vertical brackets. When the pin leaves these holes, the springs pull the smaller gears towards the rack so that all three gears are engaged with the rack. The smaller gears will also still be engaged with the larger gear. Consequently, none of the gears are able to revolve and the lift cannot ascend or descend relative to the rack.

Title: Self-servo write non-reference head position measuring
Inventor: JAMES BOWLING FRENCH JR
IPC: G11B5/596
Filed: 2016-05-31
Abstract: An approach to self-servo writing (SSW) in a hard disk drive involves receiving a first signal from a first reader reading from a first disk media surface while concurrently receiving a second signal from a second reader reading from a second disk media surface. The relative position of the first and second readers is determinable based on the first and second signals. For example, the first signal may correspond to the SSW reference head 204-2 while the second signal may correspond to any one of the other SSW non-reference heads e.g. 204-3, during a SSW bank writing procedure. The relative position and/or motion between the reference and non-reference heads can have a deleterious effect on the servo track writing quality. The first and second disk media surfaces may be opposing sides of the same disk or surfaces of different disks.

Title: Structured knowledge modeling, extraction and localization from images
Inventor: SCOTT D COHEN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-09-09
Abstract: Techniques and systems are described to model and extract knowledge from images. A digital medium environment is configured to learn and use a model to compute a descriptive summarization of an input image automatically and without user intervention. Training data is used to train a model using machine learning in order to generate a structured image representation that serves as the descriptive summarization of an input image. The images and associated text are processed to extract structured semantic knowledge from the text using natural language, which is then associated with the images. The structured semantic knowledge is processed along with corresponding images to train a model using machine learning such that the model describes a relationship between text features within the structured semantic knowledge. Once the model is learned, the model is usable to process input images to generate a structured image representation of the image. The structured knowledge may be in the form a tuples such as <subject, attribute>.

Title: Light delivery and collection device for measuring raman scattering of a sample
Inventor: JUN ZHAO
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2016-12-23
Abstract: A light delivery and collection device 100 for measuring Raman scattering from a sample area 108 comprises a reflective cavity 102 with two apertures, the first aperture 104 is configured to receive the excitation light 114 which projects onto the second aperture 106 applied over the sample such that the cavity forms an enclosure covering an area of the sample. The excitation light produces Raman scattered light from the sample. The cavity reflects any excitation light and Raman scattered light unless it emits from the first aperture to be measured with a spectrometer device, or are re-scattered by the sample at the second aperture. The multi-reflection of the cavity improves the excitation efficiency of Raman scattering and enhances collection efficiency. It also causes more excitation light to penetrate into a diffusely scattering sample enabling sub-surface Raman measurement. The measured Raman spectrum can be analysed along with Raman scattered light from a sample not illuminated with the device 100. The device could also be used to collect light from one surface of a transparent sample which is illuminated from the other side (fig 5).
