    Abstract: A wavelength monitor includes: a wavelength tunable laser (1) having a plurality of emitting ports (10, 11), from which laser beams of the same wavelength are emitted; collimating lenses (20, 21) , which are configured to collimate the laser beams emitted from the emitting ports (10, 11) to emit the collimated laser beams; an optical filter (4) having a periodic transmittance with respect to a frequency, on which the laser beams emitted from the collimating lenses (20, 21) are incident; and an optical detector (5) configured to receive the laser beams that have passed through the optical filter (4) to detect light intensities of the laser beams. In the wavelength monitor, the collimating lenses (20, 21) and the optical filter (4) are disposed so that the laser beams are incident on the optical filter (4) while a condition expressed as Equation (1) is satisfied.

    Abstract: A detection subject body provided in a hoistway includes an ID sequence formed by arranging three or more types of segments having different magnetic properties in a movement direction of an elevating body. An eddy current type detection unit is provided on the elevating body to generate signals corresponding to the magnetic properties of the respective segments. An identification unit identifies the respective types of the segments on the basis of the signals from the detection unit, and outputs a time series signal in a different output condition depending on the type of each segment. A digital data conversion unit converts the time series signal into digital data on the basis of variations in the output condition of the time series signal from the identification unit. A position specification unit specifies the position of the elevating body on the basis of the digital data.

    Abstract: A wavelength monitor monitors wavelengths of laser beams emitted from a laser source and transmitted through a collimating lens. The wavelength monitor comprises an etalon that serves as an optical filter, and an optical detector. The etalon has a transmittance that is periodic with respect to a frequency, and is disposed such that a pair of collimated beams, emitted through a pair of emitting ports of the laser source and then transmitted through the collimating lens, is incident on the optical filter at symmetrically positive and negative angles. The optical detector receives the pair of collimated beams transmitted through the etalon, and detects the intensities of the pair of collimated beams.

    Abstract: In an elevator position detection apparatus, when a first diagnosis switch is closed, a diagnosis coil generates a first induced magnetic field, and when a second diagnosis switch is closed, the diagnosis coil generates a second induced magnetic field that is weaker than the first induced magnetic field. In a constant L output fault diagnosis mode in which the first induced magnetic field is generated, an output value of a measurement signal falls below a threshold regardless of whether or not a detection subject body is present in a detection region. In a constant H output fault diagnosis mode in which generation of both the first and the second induced magnetic fields is stopped, the output value of the measurement signal equals or exceeds the threshold regardless of whether or not the detection subject body is present in the detection region.
