  • Patent number: 10196238
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to systems and methods regarding transit and movement of people. The Articulated Funiculator is a continuous and connected system of trains that moves people in mass. The trains lie horizontal at specific floor levels (designated as stations) in tall buildings or underground levels (designated as stations) in mining operations and underground subway stations. The Articulated Funiculator transitions from horizontal alignments at the stations to vertical, slanted or curved alignments between the stations, albeit the passengers remain horizontal in a standing position. The Articulated Funiculator captures the energy from the braking, dynamic braking’ of the trains and stores it. The stored energy is then used to accelerate the Articulated Funiculator. This re-use of energy makes the Articulated Funiculator sustainable.

  • Publication number: 20180363288
    Abstract: Structural frame for supporting at least one slanted section of a high-rise building, the slanted section comprising a perimeter and plurality of floors, wherein the structural frame is arranged at the perimeter of the slanted section; the structural frame closes the perimeter of the slanted section; and at least 85% of the loads of the floors in the slanted section are transferred to the structural frame at the perimeter of the slanted section. A high-rise building comprising at least one slanted section and a support frame for supporting the at least one slanted section is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20180201481
    Abstract: Support structure (10) for supporting a carriage (14) on a track (12) of an elevator system, where the support structure (10) comprises a track coupling arrangement (16) for movement along the track (12), a carriage support member (30) configured to rotatably support the carriage (14) for rotation about a pitch axis (32), and a linkage mechanism (24) connected between the carriage support member (30) and the track coupling arrangement (16), wherein the linkage mechanism (24) is configured such that the support structure (10) can be moved between an expanded state and a collapsed state, where the pitch axis (32) is closer to the track (12) in the collapsed state than in the expanded state.
