Escalators

Attention getter: which would you choose elevator or stairs? Are you getting a bit tired of that three-inch spare tire around your waist? Material Are you becoming increasingly lazy, fat?

Of all the battles young Martin faces from William Sleator’s “The Elevator”, a reader can grasp one of the greatest and most important themes to fit this story. When Martin and his dad move into an apartment, Martin is apprehensive about it because of the fact that the place is old and practically falling apart. For one, Martin is afraid of elevators, and he has to use an old one everyday. To top it off, he has to ride the old thing with a mysterious, creepy, fat lady. Once Martin’s situation gets to the point of being unbearable, he confronts his dad telling him about the creepy lady on the elevator. Martin’s dad is the exact opposite of how a father should be. Martin’s dad insults him whenever he looks to him for help. Also, Martin doesn’t

“Hello, Martin,” she said, and laughed, and pushed the STOP button. While on the elevator Martin was scared so scared he was shaking it wasn’t a pleasant feeling for him and it was even worse knowing that she knows his name now. He was wondering how she knew his name and why his dad got off and talked to her. Are they dating? Are they going to play a prank on me? Martin had all of these thoughts rambling in his head he wondered what she was always staring at him for. The fat old lady asked Martin what he was doing, Martin stood silent wondering what was going to happen to him. The old fat lady pushed the 17th floor and then pushed the stop button so it wasn’t light up anymore they make it to the 16th floor and the elevator

Project Description: The new computer-controlled conveyor belt is an exciting project that moves and positions items on the conveyor belt within <1 millimeter. The proposed project will pro­duce a new system for future installations, and for replacement of those in the field, at a low cost. The computer-controlled conveyor belt has the potential to be a critical unit in 30 percent of the systems installed in factories. The new system is also easier to update with future technologies. The Project Priority Matrix for the Conveyor Belt Project (CBP) is:

The hidden purpose of the subway system which Jurgis helps to construct is to break the teamsters’ union. Because Jurgis got hit by one of the rail freight cars, he broke his arm and lost his job.

Evidence exists that ramps were used in building some pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Giza (Egyptian 4). The theory is the most accepted, however arguments exist over what type of ramp was used. This is where it gets mysterious. The type of ramp used differs from a large straight one coming from one side of the pyramid, to a zig-zagging one that sits on the base of the pyramids and wraps around, eventually meeting at the top of the pyramid. An even more questionable theory exists, saying that internal ramps were used. A different version of the ramp theory exists and says that an external and internal ramp were used in building. It is also known as “Houdin’s Method” (Egyptian 5). Houdin’s Method states that an external ramp was used to build 3/10 of the pyramids, The ramp

Lillian Hummel is the daughter of Eleanor Mingle. Just after 9 a.m. on August 6, 2014, Hummel saw her mother into the elevator on the twelfth floor of their apartment building. After a brief stop on the ninth floor, the elevator plummeted into the ground floor killing Mingle. Hummel then brought claim for negligent infliction of emotion distress (“NIED”) against Elite Elevator Company (“Elite”), which maintained the elevator. To recover for NIED, a party must [1] be closely related to the injury victim, [2] be present at the scene of the injury-producing event at the time it occurs, [3] be aware that it is causing injury to the victim and [4] as a result suffer emotional distress beyond that which would be anticipated in a disinterested witness. Thing v. La Chusa, 48 Cal.3d 645 (1989). This memorandum will address only the first three elements of the four elements set forth in Thing. Hummel will likely be able to establish that she was closely related to the victim, present at the scene, and aware that the incident contemporaneously injured her mother because she was reasonably certain that Mingle was on the elevator at the time of the crash.

The first video, “The Broken Escalator,” shows us two people on the escalator realizing the full situation they are in. The female “test subject” said that she was already late when the escalator stopped. Instead of walking, both the female and male call for help and stay there. Viewers would find this brief video both amusing and somewhat comical, but they do not truly realize the meanings behind the video. This short clip displays a way to achieve success, which is to “keep going”. When something has ended, you should “keep going” to acquire another step higher than the rest. This will help you achieve success in life because you are showing the initiative and it also shows that you are wanting to learn more and get to a certain point,

Based on Jarboe and O'Donoghue (2007), in 1896, the first escalator was built when Jesse Reno made a little 6-foot stairway that lifted people onto the Coney Island pier in New York City. In 9000 Paris Exhibition exhibited four different types of escalators, including the Reno.

The novel The Seven Stair Crew Street Kings shows teenage skateboarders’ daily lives. Cale Finch, a teenage skater is friends with a group of skaters named Seven Stair Crew. Even though Cale is not a member of the Seven Stair Crew, he is friends with its members; Josh, the skinny and quiet one who’d always brought his camera, Ryan the one who jokes a lot, does dorky skate tricks and does monkey face to random strangers passing by, Skylar the one who’d always have a new pair of shoes, new deck and mostly does incredibly technical tricks, and JT, the oldest in the group. Without a doubt he’s the best skater in the group. One day Cale sees three of the guys looking at a piece of paper saying that Ryan

motion. As the saying goes, “planes, trains, and automobiles” have always sparked my imagination, and from an early age, I have always wanted to work with them. Despite my lengthy medical history and learning disabilities, I have striven for the day when I get to do hands on mechanical work as a career. With the help of this scholarship, I will be one step closer to making that vision a reality, and one step closer to developing a vehicle of my own design inspired by these magnificent machines.

For this lab, I went out onto the UNLV campus to record the elevations of stairs and ramps leading up to commercial facilities. I used the stairs in front of the Greenspun building to gather data on riser heights and tread depths. For stairs to follow the International Building Code, each step must have a riser height between four and seven inches. The riser heights of my stairs were well within this range, as shown in Table 1. The variation between the riser heights in each step was less than the three-eighths inch maximum variation, so it was also code compliant. The code requires tread depths to be at least eleven inches. All of my tread depths, shown in Table 2, were a over a foot long, thus following this standard. Once again, the tread variation of each step was below three-eighths, thus making the whole set of stairs code compliant. I gathered the data for the ramp using a ramp leading to the Tonopah building. This ramp also followed the IBC standards. One elevation was barely permitted with a 1:12 slope exactly, the maximum slope allowed for a ramp.

While it is possible that the two parts could operate independently (e.g., if the cart-moving line required maintenance, people could still take the people-moving line), they were part of the same system and indeed, it would be virtually impossible to replace one without the other because of their shared physical proximity/connections. I am not aware of any Vermaport (or similar system manufactured by a competitor) being installed/replaced without the people-moving part being concurrently installed/replaced with the cart-moving part.

For this particular project profit is not a concern, but rather the concern is to increase customer satisfaction. This is going to be done by having predictive maintenance on the elongation of the chain in the escalators, rather than reactive maintenance. Currently, BART is reacting to the effects of chain elongation on escalators which causes maintenance to be rather expensive but most importantly inconvenient for customers. BART is currently doing this because some of the escalators are older so they do not have any automation associated with them. At this moment, when an escalator breaks down due to chain elongation there is major downtime to repair it because it is in need of emergency maintenance. With emergency reactive maintenance an

An iron staircase was erected was erected on the outside of a block of flats.
