  • Patent number: 12210987
    Abstract: A control system for controlling motion of elevators of a bank of elevators uses a neural network trained for an extended destination prediction of a person based on a partial trajectory of the person to produce a multinomial of the extended destination prediction. The multinomial has at least two dimensions including a first dimension of destinations of the person and a second dimension of time intervals of the person arriving at the destinations of the first dimension. The control system optimizes a schedule of the bank of elevators based on the multinomial, and further controls the bank of elevators according to the schedule.

  • Patent number: 10144613
    Abstract: A detection subject body provided in a hoistway includes an ID sequence formed by arranging three or more types of segments having different magnetic properties in a movement direction of an elevating body. An eddy current type detection unit is provided on the elevating body to generate signals corresponding to the magnetic properties of the respective segments. An identification unit identifies the respective types of the segments on the basis of the signals from the detection unit, and outputs a time series signal in a different output condition depending on the type of each segment. A digital data conversion unit converts the time series signal into digital data on the basis of variations in the output condition of the time series signal from the identification unit. A position specification unit specifies the position of the elevating body on the basis of the digital data.

  • Patent number: 10076041
    Abstract: Provided are a nut, an attachment for nut and a screw shaft, which are fitted to a coating material coating device or a soldering device and can change a fixed position of the nut easier than that of a convention example even if any adhered matters generated when each device is used for a long time are fixed, and a soldering device using the same. The nut 10 screws on to the screw shaft 2 having a predetermined length. The nut 10 is provided with a non-meshing part 11 composed of a notch 12 that is formed parallel to a movement direction thereof by cutting off screw threads and a flange portion 13, which has connecting holes 14 for connecting another member.

  • Patent number: 10065833
    Abstract: In an elevator position detection apparatus, when a first diagnosis switch is closed, a diagnosis coil generates a first induced magnetic field, and when a second diagnosis switch is closed, the diagnosis coil generates a second induced magnetic field that is weaker than the first induced magnetic field. In a constant L output fault diagnosis mode in which the first induced magnetic field is generated, an output value of a measurement signal falls below a threshold regardless of whether or not a detection subject body is present in a detection region. In a constant H output fault diagnosis mode in which generation of both the first and the second induced magnetic fields is stopped, the output value of the measurement signal equals or exceeds the threshold regardless of whether or not the detection subject body is present in the detection region.
