Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing deterioration by comparing an index value which is obtained by dividing the relative harmonic content of each order of the current harmonics flowing into an electric motor and inverter by the total harmonic distortion of the current harmonics up to the predetermined order, with a criteria value which is obtained by multiplying a harmonic function of each order formed of the index value by a calculated value for diagnosis of each order found through calculation from the relative harmonic content of each order. In the method, the degrees of deterioration of the electric motor and inverter are distinguished from each other by weighting the criteria value, and the deteriorated part is determined by a specific harmonic order of the current harmonics.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an improved a seismic detector comprising: a container for containing liquid therein, liquid means being contained in the bottom of the container, a source of light for illuminating the inside of the container, a sensor means having at least one photoelectric device for transforming the light inside the container into electric signals, and a signal processor means for generating an output when the output of the sensor means exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: A lift control system includes a spatial filter for producing a signal having various features, a discriminator for discriminating one or more features of the signal, and for producing a control signal when at least one of the features discriminated falls in a predetermined range, and active devices connected to the discriminator. The spatial filter is defined by a semi-spherical bowl having a plurality of openings or by a poly-face prism which is made from a plano-convex lens with its curved face so polished or cut as to have a plurality of flat faces.
