  • Patent number: 12227391
    Abstract: A vibration damping device for reducing vibration of an elevator rope includes a displacement amplifier arranged around a region from a first portion of the elevator rope drawn and a second portion of the elevator rope drawn from an opposite side of one or more sheaves in parallel with the first portion. The displacement amplifier is configured to amplify a displacement of each of the first portion and the second portion of the elevator rope. The device also includes a limiting member that controls displacement amplification performed by the displacement amplifier such that the displacement of the first portion or the second portion amplified by the displacement amplifier does not become greater than a first displacement, which is a displacement of the elevator rope by which the elevator rope is not allowed to return to an equilibrium position of the vibration.

  • Publication number: 20240355479
    Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes: a measurement data acquisition unit configured to acquire measurement data of a target; and a processing unit configured to process the measurement data. The processing unit estimates a skeleton of a living body that is the target based on the measurement data, estimates a measurement condition related to the measurement data using an estimation result of the skeleton, obtains a similarity between the measurement condition and an assumed condition assumed in advance, and selects measurement data related to evaluation of a state of the target based on the similarity. With the configuration and operations,, it is possible to efficiently collect data related to evaluation of a state of a target while considering a restriction of a location where measurement data is acquired, without collecting a large amount of data.
