Publication number: 20240147644Abstract: A foldable display device may have housing portions coupled by a hinge. A flexible display may overlap the hinge. The hinge may have portions that rotate relative to each other about rotational axes that lie above the hinge to help reduce stress to the display. The hinge may have gear plates with interlocked teeth that synchronize rotational movement between left and right halves of the hinge. The hinge may also have asymmetric friction clips that impose different amounts of rotational friction to the hinge depending on the direction of rotation of the hinge.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Scott J Krahn, Robert Y Cao, Lei Wang, Ke Ye, Zhouying Chen

Patent number: 8931615Abstract: A roller bearing and newel guide assembly (30) for a newel (24) in an escalator (10) has a newel guide (32), a roller chain (34), and a spring (40) connected between the roller chain (34) and the newel guide (32) to provide tension to the roller chain (34). The roller chain (34) comprises a series of interlinked chain units (36). Each chain unit (36) includes a frame (78), at least one roller bearing (72), and a pin (76) for connecting the roller bearing (72) to the frame (78). Each chain unit (36) has a female connector (62) and a male connector (64), which allow each chain unit (36) to connect to an adjacent chain unit (36) to form the roller chain (34).Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Ke Ye, Yanying Anne Chen, Coliu Wu, Shouhong Wang, Qingdong Jiang

Publication number: 20140219289Abstract: A part of a non-default multitenant device context (MDC) is located on a member device of that forms part of a logical network device. The non-default MDC part assigns a first downlink port to a first downlink port group, assigns a first uplink port to a first uplink port group, and monitors a stacking port to another part of the non-default MDC on another member device that forms part of the logical network device. When the stacking port changes to the down state, the non-default MDC part determines if the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group are in the up state. If so, the non-default MDC part maintains the states of the ports in the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group. Otherwise the non-default MDC part makes changes so the ports in the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group are in the down state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ke Ye, Shixing Chen

Patent number: 8757350Abstract: A connection between step flange covers 54 and passenger conveyor frames 60 is adjustable to vary the position of a step flange cover relative 54 to moving tread plates 18 or a moving skirt 52 in at least two directions. The adjustable connection 64 permits the step flange cover 54 to be precisely positioned with respect to the tread plates 18 or the skirt 52 without the necessity of using crude adjustment techniques, such as, for example, using shims.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Ke Ye, Yanying Chen, Jian Liang

Patent number: 8596445Abstract: A balustrade assembly includes a decking panel and a skirt panel that are attached to one another and to a balustrade support structure without fasteners. A positioning device included in the balustrade assembly varies the position of the skirt panel relative to moving steps in two directions by pushing against stationary components that are a part of or otherwise connected to a frame of a passenger conveyor. A balustrade support employed in the assembly reduces material and manufacturing costs and is adjustable to vary the height of a balustrade panel and handrails in a passenger conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2009Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Ke Ye, Yanying Chen, Ruoming Tian, Songjian He, Shouhong Wang, Ruzhuang Zhao, Coliu Wu, Zhigao Mai, Yongjun Huang, Richard Qingdong Jiang

Publication number: 20130192952Abstract: A method for assembling a drive system for an escalator system includes securing one or more track sets extending along a path of the escalator to one or more support members extending at least partially across a width of the escalator system. A drive member is secured to the one or more support members such that the drive member is operably connected to the one or more track sets. The one or more track sets, the one or more support members and the drive member are installed into the escalator system as a unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2010Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Guobin Lin, Zhaohui Lui, Ke Ye, Songjian He, Biao Li, Coliu Muke Wu, Yanying Anne Chen, Richard Qingdong Jiang, Ji An Wan, Yaoji Xu, Guojie Samuel Ye, De Wu, MingPing Jiang, JianGuo Li, Weifeng Shao, Wei Ge, Graham Worthington
