DOOR CLOSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The invention refers to a system for monitoring the position of the doors of a moving car in a cable transportation system, the car comprising two doors and the monitoring system comprising an electronic control unit. The monitoring system comprises a detection target on each door, and a fixed detection device, such as a proximity switch with a field of action, which emits a detection signal when a target passes through the field of action, which is connected to the control unit and is positioned so that it can emit a detection signal when the car passes through a control zone. The control unit determines that the two doors of the car are correctly positioned if the distance between the two doors is less than a predetermined opening threshold.

Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts
Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts increase skier safety at on-boarding and off-boarding locations by providing an always-on, always-alert system that “watches” these locations, identifies developing problem situations, and initiates mitigation actions. One or more video cameras feed live video to a video processing module. The video processing module feeds resulting sequences of images to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The AI engine makes an inference regarding existence of a potential problem situation based on the sequence of images. This inference is fed to an inference processing module, which determines if the inference processing module should send an alert or interact with the lift motor controller to slow or stop the lift.

DUAL CABLE ZIPLINE TROLLEY TRANSFER SYSTEM
This invention is a gravity powered Dual Cable Zipline Trolley Transfer System comprising, a dual cable zipline trolley and dual cable zipline transfer unit which work in conjunction of each other. The trolley comprises tandem wheels that traverse over the dual cables and are pivoted in the center to allow the trolley to pass smoothly over the transfer unit, which is suspended on support structures. Unlike the traditional zipline which has a path between two stations, this system is designed to allow the participant to travel in a continuous uninterrupted path without the need to detach from one cable to another in order to sustain the journey beyond the station. The transfer unit is lengthened to create curves both horizontal and vertical. This invention eliminates the menacing sag in the cable that occurs over distance.
