We present a constraint programming formulation for the elevator trip origin-destination matrix estimation problem, and propose different approaches to solve the problem. An elevator trip consists of successive stops in one direction of travel with passengers inside the elevator. It can be defined as a directed network, where the nodes correspond to the stops on the trip, and the arcs to the po...

Elevator is an important transport medium in multi-storage building. With the development of better architecture technology, buildings are raising in height. Hence an elevator becomes an important medium of vertical transportation. There are several advantages of an elevator in the modern world. Hence more importance is given to the design of an elevator control system, which is easy for the ma...

CLINICAL CASE A 58 year-old man with a known diagnosis of a large cell lung carcinoma, developed a progressive diplopia. His examination revealed a double oculomotor nerve palsy with dilated and poorly reactive pupils. A cranial magnetic resonance showed an unique and solitary lesion in the midbrain, which presumably affected to both oculomotor nucleus and fasciculus. There were not found addit...

UNILATERAL paralysis of the elevators (inferior oblique and superior rectus) is a syndrome treated only briefly by most authors (see Duke-Elder, 1949). It is, nevertheless, a relatively frequent clinical entity and of great importance in practice. Bielschowsky (1939) considered this paralysis and the anterior internuclear syndrome to be the only unilateral supranuclear paralysis which could be ...

A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of double vision combined with left ptosis. Although at 25 years of age she had already been diagnosed with limb weakness associated with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), she had never experienced double vision until her latest condition. Neurological examination revealed left oculomotor palsy without other crania...

The paper considers the technological scheme of hydraulic elevator installation, according to which water from a pressure tank is supplied by working pump well through two parallel pipelines: monitor with washing nozzle for destroying sand plug and supply pipeline that connected containing suction pipelines taking slurry cleaning single- double-column wells plugs methodology calculation selecti...

The goal of this project was to design the vision system onboard a PR2 robot tasked with navigating between floors in the ICICS X-Wing at UBC. The vision task includes the detection and localization of elevator buttons that must be pressed in order to ride the elevator to a desired floor. The system is implemented in ROS, the Robotic Operating System from Willow Garage, and executed on the PR2....

This paper presents a robust and reliable method for a mobile robot to get on/off an elevator in a multistory building. Getting on/off the elevator requires the robot to perform two different tasks: a recognition task and a navigation task. First, we propose a recognition algorithm for the elevator buttons and status so that the robot reacts flexibly to the current elevator status. We first app...

BACKGROUND Inferior rectus recession, Knapp procedure, partial tendon transposition, and combined procedure are different surgical procedures in the management of monocular elevation deficiency (MED). Only a few studies have been published on the management of this problem. In this study, we report our experience with patients with MED focusing on the indications and types of surgery in the sou...
