  • Publication number: 20230271808
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a system for monitoring conditions of elevator hoisting members. The system includes a processing device configured to receive an actual resistance data from the one or more pairs of tensile load bearing conductive members, calculate an adjusted resistance data by subtracting the actual resistance data from a baseline resistance data and dividing by the baseline resistance data, input the adjusted resistance data into a process configured to model the adjusted resistance data into a breaking strength value for the elevator hoisting member, receive the breaking strength value, and determine whether the breaking strength value is below a predetermined threshold value for a rated breaking load of the elevator hoisting member, wherein when the breaking strength value is below the predetermined threshold value, output an alert to the elevator controller to instruct the elevator controller to inhibit movement of the elevator hoisting member.

  • Patent number: 11556375
    Abstract: In a distributed system where a client's call to commit a transaction occurs outside the transaction's lock-hold interval, computation of timestamp information for the transaction is moved to a client library, while ensuring that no conflicting reads or writes are performed between a time of the computation and acquiring all locks for the transaction. The transaction is committed in phases, with each phase being initiated by the client library. Timestamp information is added to the locks to ensure that timestamps are generated during lock-hold intervals. An increased number of network messages is thereby overlapped with a commit wait period in which a write in a distributed database is delayed in time to ensure concurrency in the database.

  • Patent number: 11468492
    Abstract: A distributed computing device stores user preference data representing preferences of a user with respect to a portion of a set of items. The distributed computing device randomly samples the user preference data to calculate sampled user preference data. The distributed computing device iteratively executes, in conjunction with additional distributed computing devices connected by a network, a process to determine a consensus result for the sampled user preference data. The consensus result is based on the sampled user preference data and additional sampled user preference data calculated by the additional distributed computing devices and based on preferences of additional users. The distributed computing device determines a recommendation model based on the consensus result, the recommendation model reflecting preferences of the user and additional users.
