  • SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A LOCATION OF A PERSON IN A HOISTWAY
    Publication number: 20240140759
    Abstract: Disclosed is an elevator system, including a hoistway; an elevator car in the hoistway; sensors in the hoistway operationally coupled to the elevator car and configured to capture sensor data indicative of a person being in the hoistway, and a processor configured to determine from the sensor data that the person is in the hoistway; and wherein the elevator car is configured to reduce speed or stop when the processor determines the person is in the hoistway.

  • Aircraft engine having stator vanes made of different materials
    Patent number: 11939886
    Abstract: An aircraft engine, has: an upstream stator having upstream stator vanes circumferentially distributed about a central axis; and a downstream stator having downstream stator vanes circumferentially distributed about the central axis, the downstream stator located downstream of the upstream stator relative to an airflow flowing within a core gaspath of the aircraft engine, a number of the upstream stator vanes being different than a number of the downstream stator vanes, the downstream stator vanes including: a first vane made of a first material, a major portion of a leading edge of the first vane circumferentially overlapped by one of the upstream stator vanes, and a second vane made of a second material having a greater stiffness, strength, and/or ductility than that of the first material, a major portion of a leading edge of the second vane exposed via a spacing defined between two of the upstream stator vanes.

  • Method for constructing a 3D digital model from a 2D plan
    Patent number: 11275874
    Abstract: A method, implemented by a computer, for constructing a 3D digital model of a building from a 2D plan of the building, the building having a geometry defined by at least one geometric parameter, the method comprising a plurality of steps, at least one of the steps requiring an input of at least one internal parameter, the method being wherein it comprises a step of selecting a set of parameter values without human intervention.
