  • Publication number: 20220017331
    Abstract: An elevator control apparatus improves car position detection accuracy without increasing the number of sensors. A position detection sensor installed on a caroutputs a detection signal when an object installed in a hoistway is detected. A controller corrects a position of the car calculated on the basis of a pulse signal that an encoder which rotates in accordance with ascending and descending of the car outputs, in accordance with a position of the object to be detected. A storage device stores data on the position of the car calculated prior to a time point when the detection signal is received. A correction amount of the position of the car is calculated on the basis of a communication delay time and the data which is stored in the storage device, and the position of the car is corrected in accordance with the correction amount.

  • Publication number: 20210309491
    Abstract: A method having a first step in which a radio signal transmitting unit transmits a radio signal carrying a piece of information corresponding to a first event which occurred to a signal comparison unit and, upon occurrence of the first event or a second event occurring simultaneously or virtually simultaneously with the first event, a wired signal transmitting unit transmits a wired signal carrying a piece of information corresponding to the first or second event to the signal comparison unit and a second step in which the signal comparison unit judges reliability of the radio signal based on the radio signal and the wired signal. In the second step, the signal comparison unit judges reliability of the radio signal based on the pieces of information respectively carried by the radio signal and the wired signal and a temporal difference between reception timings of the radio signal and the wired signal.

  • Patent number: 11135712
    Abstract: A driving tool drives a fastener by a striking mechanism. The driving tool includes a trigger, a contact arm, a contact lever and a regulator. The trigger and the contact arm receive manipulations which operate the striking mechanism. The contact lever is movable according to operations of the trigger and the contact arm and switches operating states of the striking mechanism. The regulator regulates a movement of the contact lever according to a movement of the contact arm in which another manipulation is released. The regulator operates with a fluid for operating the striking mechanism, and keeps the contact lever at an operation standby position where the contact lever is operated by manipulation of the contact arm for a predetermined time period by controlling a flow rate of the fluid.

  • Patent number: 9789595
    Abstract: A fastener driving tool includes a nose portion, a supply passage and a fastener supply mechanism. The nose portion includes an injection passage for injecting a fastener. The supply passage is connected to the injection passage. The fastener supply mechanism feeds connected fasteners to the injection passage. The fastener supply mechanism includes a feed member which advances and retreats in a feed direction and which oscillates in a direction to retreat from the supply passage. The feed member includes a feed tooth which feeds the fastener to the injecting passage by engaging with a rear portion of the fastener and an auxiliary tooth which is disposed on a foot side of the fastener to prevent the fastener from deviating from the injection passage. When the feed tooth of the feed member projects into the supply passage, the auxiliary tooth projects into the supply passage longer than the feed tooth.
