  • Publication number: 20190345000
    Abstract: One robotic destination dispatch system for elevators comprises a destination dispatch module configured to determine an optimal elevator for a passenger. The robotic destination dispatch system includes a guide robot in wireless data communication with the destination dispatch module. The guide robot has a processor in communication with a propelling device, a sensory device, and a memory comprising software. The software includes computer-readable instructions executable by the processor to: (a) implement an auction-based scheduling algorithm; (b) determine an identity of the passenger; (c) receive from the destination dispatch module the optimal elevator for the passenger; and (d) activate the propelling device to cause the guide robot to move and physically guide the passenger to the optimal elevator.

  • Publication number: 20070141200
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4). The extruded gum composition comprises at least 71% Wt. gum base and the cut granules are included in compressed gum tablets. The invention further relates to a chewing gum product, and to a chewing gum granulating system.

  • Publication number: 20050031738
    Abstract: A tea bag package that includes a triangular envelope having first and second opposite flaps connected to each other along first and second sides of the triangle but not along the third side and furthermore having a third flap connected at the third side to the first flap and via a folding line foldable between a first position in which the third side is open and a second position in which the third side is closed so that the three flaps together define a closed chamber. The tea bag package includes a tea bag disposed in the chamber and a string attached to a corner of this tea bag and running through a slit or eye in the point in which the two closed sides join each other. The string has a length allowing the tea bag to exit the envelope via the third side when the third flap is in first position.

  • Publication number: 20050008992
    Abstract: An apparatus for training on a bicycle connected to the apparatus, so that the bicycle is tiltable in a direction transversely to a plane defined by a frame of the bicycle. The bicycle is elevated to when the bicycle frame is tilted whereby the bicycle frame, by gravity, is biased towards the non-tilted position. A bicycle computer being adapted to collect and/or display course information while the bicycle is not connected to a training device and being adapted to control resistance providing means when the bicycle is connected to the training device. A wheel for training on a bicycle comprising resistance providing means comprising secondary drive means adapted to engage with the force transferring connector of the bicycle so as to apply resistance to rotation from the resistance providing means to the primary drive means of the bicycle.

  • Publication number: 20040100282
    Abstract: A method for determining thickness of a layer in a structure comprising at least one layer by means of, e.g., ultra sound measurements. Selects a first reflection from a response signal and uses this reflection as a basis for predicting the shape of a further reflection. The second reflection is subsequently located in the response signal by comparing the response signal to the predicted shape.
