  • Publication number: 20230061836
    Abstract: An axial displacement angle estimation device repeatedly calculates an axial displacement angle based on the detection result of the radar apparatus. The axial displacement angle estimation device extracts the axial displacement angle included in a predetermined extraction angle range among a plurality of axial displacement angles, and calculate an average value and a median value of the extracted plurality of axial displacement angles to be an axial displacement angle average value and an axial displacement median value. The axial displacement angle estimation device determines, based on the axial displacement angle average value and the axial displacement angle median value, whether a predetermined allowable condition is met. The axial displacement angle estimation device utilizes, when determined that the predetermined allowable condition is met, the axial displacement angle average value as an estimation result of the axial displacement angle.

  • Patent number: 11319189
    Abstract: An elevator includes a compensating sheave, a compensating rope, a guide, a holder, a driver, a lateral vibration detector, and driver controller. The compensating rope is looped around the compensating sheave to be bent back upward in a hoistway, and has a first end connected to a car and a second end connected a counterweight, the compensating rope suspended from the car and the counterweight. The guide guides the compensating sheave in a vertically displaceable manner. The holder holds the guide to be displaceable in a horizontal direction. The driver drives the holder in the horizontal direction. The lateral vibration detector detects lateral vibration of the compensating rope. The driver controller controls the driver based on a result of detection by the lateral vibration detector and accordingly drive the holder in the horizontal direction so as to dampen lateral vibration of the compensating rope.

  • Publication number: 20220040005
    Abstract: Medical gauze includes a warp knitted fabric having a warp and weft direction and composed of loops continued in the warp direction. The warp knitted fabric is made of 100% long fiber containing 70% by weight or more of regenerated cellulose-based long fiber. The warp knitted fabric is preferably configured in a marquisette construction. The regenerated cellulose-based long fiber is preferably cuprammonium rayon. Preferably having a width of equal to or greater than 5 mm and equal to or less than 600 mm, and a weight of equal to or greater than 28 g and equal to or less than 290 g per square meter. As the warp knitted fabric is composed of the loops continued in the warp direction and made of 100% long fiber containing 70% by weight or more of the regenerated cellulose-based long fiber, the occurrence of lint can be reduced to improve lint-free performance.
