Abstract: An elevator system having a hoistway having a bottom landing with landing doors. An elevator car is in the hoistway, and a safety chain is coupled to the car and is in an open-state to stop the car and otherwise in an intact-state. A first sensor wirelessly transmits a first signal when the car is at the bottom landing, and a second sensor transmits a second signal when the doors are open. The system includes a control circuit including a first control element that receives the first signal indicating the car is at the bottom landing and a second control element that receives the second signal indicating the landing doors are open, and the control circuit changes state upon receipt of the signals, and the safety chain transitions to the open-state from the intact state when the control circuit changes state.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method including: displaying a design including a first design element; detecting an initiate record animation event; receiving animation definition input creating an original path between an initial position and a final position, the animation definition input drawing the original path at original traversal speeds; generating animation data based on the animation definition input, the animation data including data that allows both the original path and the original traversal speeds to be reproduced; and associating the animation data with the first design element.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a moving ferromagnetic target object in a protected area comprises a first magnetic sensor adapted to measure a magnetic field within a first localised volume of space defined by a first zone of sensitivity of the first magnetic sensor and to produce a corresponding first measurement signal, and a second magnetic sensor adapted to measure a magnetic field within a second localised volume of space defined by a second zone of sensitivity of the second magnetic sensor and to produce a corresponding second measurement signal. The two magnetic sensors are separated spatially by a baseline such that the overlap between the two zones of sensitivity defines both a protected zone and a non-protected zone.

Abstract: A gas collection receptacle includes a segmented top portion and one or more side portions creating a volume for collecting gases. The gas collection receptacle, configured to float on a pond, lagoon, or other area, also includes interlocking side and end portions enabling multiple receptacles to connect, thus forming a substantially continuous covering.

Abstract: An infrared detector comprising a plurality of bolometer detectors, bias circuitry for applying a bias to the bolometer detectors, and connectors for connecting the bolometer detectors together to form a network, wherein the bolometer detectors are arranged in an environment at substantially atmospheric pressure. A method for increasing the sensitivity of an infrared detector, having a plurality of bolometer detectors arranged in an environment at substantially atmospheric pressure so as to at least partly compensate for a reduction in the sensitivity of the infrared detector due to conduction of thermal energy from the bolometer detectors through the environment, the method comprising at least one of the steps of connecting the bolometer detectors together in at least one of series and parallel, and operating the bolometer detectors at a DC bias current.

Abstract: Methods for increasing methane emitted from organic waste and for collecting methane and other gaseous bi-products. A gas collection unit collects gas in a first separation tank, wherein the gas is separated into methane and other components. The methane is collected, and other components are diverted. A second separation tank receives diverted components combined with an acidic solution and further separates the components into carbon dioxide and other compounds. The carbon dioxide is collected for reuse in a variety of applications.
