Abstract: An object is to suppress a variation in amount of a sealant that is applied on an object to be sealed. There is provided a sealant discharge nozzle configured such that a sealant from a cartridge is discharged from a discharge hole of the sealant discharge nozzle. The sealant discharge nozzle has a leading end portion comprising a pair of side wall portions; and a connecting wall portion configured to connect the pair of side wall portions with each other and provided in cooperation with the pair of side wall portions to form a first recess that is open on one side in a first direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the sealant discharge nozzle, and on a leading end side. The discharge hole has an opening formed on a first recess side of the connecting wall portion.

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.

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.
