Publication number: 20210122610Abstract: A maintenance control panel connected to an elevator control system controls displacement movements of an elevator car through actuation of activation, downward direction button and upward direction buttons. Each button has an actuation element displaceable in an actuation direction to change from an unactuated to an actuated actuation state when displaced beyond an actuation position and outputs an actuation signal representing the actuation state. At least one of the buttons has a position sensor detecting a current position of the actuation element and outputs a position signal representing the detected position. The elevator control system responds to the position signal to control a power supply to a drive motor and thus a displacement speed of the car. A maintenance technician can control the displacement speed intuitively, depending on how hard the button with the position sensor is pressed, to avoid an abrupt start or braking of the car.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: Daniel Arnold, David Frey, Martin Sager, Patrick Bürgisser

Patent number: 10912786Abstract: Described herein are silyl monomers capable of forming a biologically useful multimer when in contact with one, two, three or more other monomers in an aqueous media. Such multimer forming associations of monomers may be promoted by the proximal binding of the monomers to their target biomolecule(s). In one aspect, such monomers may be capable of binding to another monomer in an aqueous media (e.g. in vivo) to form a multimer, (e.g. a dimer). Contemplated monomers may include a ligand moiety, a linker element, and a connector element that joins the ligand moiety and the linker element. In an aqueous media, such contemplated monomers may join together via each linker element and may thus be capable of modulating one or more biomolecules substantially simultaneously, e.g., modulate two or more binding domains on a protein or on different proteins.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignees: Cornell University, Purdue Research FoundationInventors: Francis Barany, Maneesh Pingle, Donald E.

Patent number: 10775296Abstract: A device and method are provided for testing the effectiveness of an adhesive composition to adhere a sheet of material to a substrate. A connector is attached to the sheet and the adhesive is used to adhere the sheet to the substrate and permitted to cure to a selected amount. After (or even before, if desired) the adhesive cures, a load is applied to the connector, having the effect of pulling the sheet away from the substrate. The duration of the pulling and the amount of the load can be varied. If too large a dome is formed under the location of the connector, the adhesive does not pass the test. Optionally, the adhesive formulation is adjusted to make it stronger to resist such doming.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: W.F. TAYLOR LLCInventors: Robert Kintu Ddamulira, Daniel Arnold Pelton
