Title: Elevator drive machine placed in the counterweight.
Inventor: HAKALA HARRI
IPC: B66B7/06
Filed: 1994-06-27
Abstract: In the present invention, a rotating elevator motor (6) provided with a traction sheave (18) is placed in the counterweight (26) of an elevator suspended with ropes (2). A gear system is not necessarily needed because, according to the invention, the structure and placement of the motor allow the use of a motor having a large diameter and a high torque. As the length of the motor still remains small, the motor/counterweight of the invention can be accommodated in the space normally reserved for a counterweight in the elevator shaft. The motor shaft lies in the counterweight (26) substantially midway between the guide rails (8) and the number (a,b) of ropes is equal on both sides of the plane (24) going through the centre lines of the guide rails. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0742664-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WALKER MICHAEL
IPC: H04M9/00
Filed: 1996-04-25
Abstract: The method involves using controllable companders (1.1,1.2) to determine the transmission amplification in each transmission channel (VS1,VS2). The acoustic coupling factor between loudspeakers (L1-L3) and microphones (M1-M3) is determined by a coupling estimation device for single channel communications. The coupling factors determined for a microphone are weighted using the short-term average values of the received signals of the loudspeakers associated with the coupling factors. The resulting maximum value is used as the control parameter for the transfer characteristic of a compander associated with each transmission channel (VS1,VS2) of a microphone, so each transmission channel's gain is controlled separately.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a direction finding
system capable of positioning directions at two points, and
particularly to a direction finding system for shifting a
ground central base line and a reference point for
tunneling work or the like to an underground tunnel shaft
or the like thereby to position a digging thrust direction.
A polarized light radiating means irradiates a body for the
direction finding system with a polarized light beam or ray
bundle. A direction difference detecting means provided
within the body receives therein the polarized light beam
emitted from the polarized light radiating means and
detects the difference between the direction of the
polarized light beam and a predetermined direction. A
rotatory polarizing plate of the direction difference
detecting means allows the polarized light beam to pass
therethrough. A condenser lens gathers the polarized
light beam transmitted through the rotatory polarizing
plate. A light-receiving portion receives therein the
polarized light beam gathered by the condenser lens. An
encoder means detects a predetermined position and rotation
of the rotatory polarizing plate.

Abstract: A gas flow Aa, which is saturated with vapor of water or of other volatile liquid and in which large amount of minute drops of water or of other volatile liquid float, is sent in a group of small channels 4, of a cross-flow type or counter-flow type heat exchanger 3, and a fluid flow B is sent in the other group of small channels 5. Sensible heat is exchanged between the gas flow Aa and the fluid flow B. The minute drops of the volatile liquid floating in the gas flow Aa vaporize by the rise of the temperature of the gas flow Aa, and the fluid flow B is refrigerated by the vaporization of the minute drops.   When water is used as the minute drops of volatile liquid floating in the gas flow Aa, a large amount of cold wind can be supplied cheaply, and when a liquid having low boiling point such as methanol is used as the minute drops of volatile liquid, the refrigeration temperature can be lowered. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vehicle braking system can, for example when the
performance of a booster has deteriorated, reduce a brake pedal
depressing force required to obtain a sufficient braking force
and thereby lighten the burden on the driver. A booster (2)
and a master cylinder (3) generate a brake fluid pressure in
correspondence with an operation of a brake pedal (1). Wheel
cylinders (4, 5) connected to the master cylinder (3) generate
wheel braking forces in wheels of the vehicle. It is
determined if a vehicle braking state corresponds to a state of
operation of the brake pedal (1), and when it is determined
that the vehicle braking state does not correspond to the brake
pedal operation, brake fluid pressure in the wheel cylinders
(4, 5) is increased with a pump (10). In this way, it is
possible to obtain a predetermined braking force corresponding
to the brake pedal operation at all times.
