Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing neural architecture search for machine learning models. In one aspect, a method comprises receiving training data for a machine learning, generating a plurality of candidate neural networks for performing the machine learning task, wherein each candidate neural network comprises a plurality of instances of a layer block composed of a plurality of layers, for each candidate neural network, selecting a respective type for each of the plurality of layers from a set of layer types that comprises, training the candidate neural network and evaluating performance scores for the trained candidate neural networks as applied to the machine learning task, and determining a final neural network for performing the machine learning task based at least on the performance scores for the candidate neural networks.

Abstract: A brake for use in a passenger conveyor system is provided. The passenger conveyor system includes a drive system operable to drive a drive component in a desired direction. The brake is actuated by a reversal in direction of movement of the drive component.

Abstract: A drive system (10) that is operable to drive a conveyor band (12) includes a drive motor (26), inner and outer drive shafts (28, 30), a gearbox (32), and a band engagement member (34, 36). The inner drive shaft (28) includes first and second ends (38, 40), the first end (38) being connected to the drive motor (26). The gearbox (32) includes input and output portions, the input and output portions being in geared connection with one another, and the input portions being connected to the second end (40) of the inner drive shaft (28). The outer drive shaft (30) includes a cavity (46) that extends through at least a portion of the outer drive shaft (30). The outer drive shaft (30) is connected to the output portion of the gearbox (32). The band engagement member (34, 36) extends radially outward from an outer surface of the outer drive shaft (30). At least a portion of the inner drive shaft (28) is positioned within the cavity (46) of the outer drive shaft (30).
