Abstract: A system adapting an elevating device for wireless remote operation from a mobile device is disclosed. The system includes a first interface for connecting to a panel of the elevator, the panel comprising at least one elevator button, the module comprising a relay switch interconnected to the elevator button; a transceiver for receiving command data wirelessly from the mobile device, the transceiver interconnected to the first interface, and a controller interconnected to the interface and to the transceiver. In response to receiving the command data through the transceiver, the controller sends a corresponding command signal via said interface to the panel by activating the relay switch.

Abstract: A soft x-ray generator includes a unique pulse trigger assembly which reliably and reproducibly provides a plasma to initiate the discharge between a cathode and an anode, and having a cone-shaped geometry. The soft x-ray generator of the present invention also includes a rotating anode which is generally disk-shaped with an outer circumferential edge which can be rotated with respect to the cathode to expose different sections of the anode to the plasma discharge, thereby reducing anode wear and providing longer term operation. Anode erosion is also reduced by the liquid cooling of the anode during use. The generator utilizes a relatively low capacitance for the cathode-to-anode discharge and a relatively high voltage and pulse repetition rate (frequency) to achieve continuous reproducible results.
