20090216376Group Elevator Scheduling With Advanced Traffic Information - A near-optimal scheduling method for a group of elevators uses advanced traffic information. More particularly, advanced traffic information is used to define a snapshot problem in which the objective is to improve performance for customers. To solve the snapshot problem, the objective function is transformed into a form to facilitate the decomposition of the problem into individual car subproblems. The subproblems are independently solved using a two-level formulation, with passenger to car assignment at the higher level, and the dispatching of individual cars at the lower level. Near-optimal passenger selection and individual car routing are obtained. The individual cars are then coordinated through an iterative process to arrive at a group control solution that achieves a near-optimal result for passengers.08-27-2009

20100174509DESIGN PROCESS FOR ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENTS IN NEW AND EXISTING BUILDINGS - A method for determining a suitable configuration for an elevator system for a building that includes acquiring building related information and passenger use information. Elevator system performance requirements based on elevator system passenger numbers are selected based on this information followed by selecting a set of elevator system characteristic variables that are desired to be at optimal values which are processed along with the information and performance requirements to provide an optimal solution.07-08-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100024750Apparatus to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines, and method thereof - Method and apparatus for controlling the volume of air or air and non-combusted fuel mixture inside a combustion chamber and cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes an inlet-outlet portal having open and closed states and connected to air or air and non-combusted fuel source(s), and a combustion chamber with reduced volume. The inlet-outlet portal is controlled, when open, to permit air or air and non-combusted fuel mixture to enter or enter and exit the combustion chamber and cylinder and when closed to prevent air or air and non-combusted fuel mixture from entering or exiting the chamber and cylinder, in which the volume of air or air and non-combusted fuel mixture located inside the chamber and cylinder when the inlet-outlet portal closes, is less than the volume of the combustion chamber and cylinder defined when the piston is at the bottom dead centre position inside the cylinder when the inlet-outlet portal is closed.02-04-2010

20110091940HIGHLY DISORDERED CELLULOSE - Disclosed are methods and systems for treating cellulose to make it more accessible for enzymatic or chemical modification. The invention includes treating cellulose with an alkali in an alcohol/water co-solvent system. The treatment decrystallizes or deaggregates the cellulosic material. The methods and systems increase the efficiency of enzymatic or chemical modifications of cellulose for use as biofuels or cellulose derivatives.04-21-2011
