Abstract: A car for an elevator in an elevator shaft is suspended substantially in the center of gravity thereof at least in a ratio of 2:1 by a carrying apparatus guided via pulleys and is guided through car guides. The car has a car base, a car roof and car walls that define a passenger space. For using the car in a machine room-free elevator, to provide a shaft cross-section as large as possible and to reduce the required shaft pit depth and/or the required shaft head height, at least a first part of one of the pulleys is located between the car base and the car roof and a second part of the pulley is located in the car base or at the same height as the car base or in the car roof or at the same height as the car roof.

Abstract: A data retrieval and storage system configured to provide access to data on a cellular phone during periods of inoperable communication with a cellular data network. The software application of the present invention is configured to provide monitoring of the data connection between the cellular phone and a data network. As a user receives new data files by way of example but not limitation, voice data files, text data files and data from data sources, the present invention will store the data onto the local memory of the cellular phone. The software application determines if a data file has been accessed by a user. If a user has not accessed the data file a copy thereof is maintained on the memory of the cellular phone so as to provide access thereto during time periods wherein the cellular phone is not communicably coupled to a data network.
