A computer-implemented system is provided and includes a processor and a memory accessible by the processor, with the system being configured to measure light performance properties of a gemstone and generate an objective grade for the gemstone.

Gemstone registration and recovery system, and systems for evaluating the light performance of a gemstone and capturing forensic characteristics of a gemstone

A device for producing a reproducible identification pattern of a polished gemstone includes light directing means for directing a focused beam of light onto a gemstone orientated in a particular known manner to produce an output of the internal refraction and reflection characteristics of the gemstone including reflected light beams having particular locations, sizes and intensities. The device also includes automated means for changing a position of the gemstone relative to the focused beam of light; and also a means for recording the output in a manner to record the relative size and location of the reflected light beams.

New elevator cab construction and reconstruction of old elevator cabs are frequently presented with the problem of increasing the interior size of the elevator cab in an elevator shaft of limited size. This invention relates to an elevator cab design providing a novel way of increasing internal cab size of a standard elevator cab while still retaining decorative design features by having removable decorative panels. The elevator cab is constructed of the normal elements, namely, a platform, a ceiling, cab shell walls, stiffeners and corner stiffener risers. The cab shell walls have a base and transom and shell panels there between designed to overlap one another so as to be readily attached by spot welding or adhesive. The stiffeners are hat-shaped elongated sections typically of stainless steel that are attached to the inside of the shell panels. The stiffeners may also be formed by hat-shaped ribs formed in the shell panels. Removable decorative panels of approximately the same thickness as the stiffeners are hung directly on the interior of shell panels between the stiffeners. Advantageously, the use of the stiffeners on the inside of the shell panels and the mounting of the decorative panels on the shell panel between the stiffeners increases the internal width and depth of the elevator cab.

Elevator cab design

The present invention provides a method and structure for decorating the interior of elevator cab walls by even unskilled personnel, without wastage of time, and of sufficient modularity so as to be adaptable for retrofitting on existing elevator cab walls and accommodating existing constraints of space, dimension and weight. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of horizontal and vertical members are joined together to form an advantageous lattice frame structure for supporting decorative panels. The horizontal members incorporate downward facing elongated hanger slots for removable engagement with upwardly facing elongated finger members that are affixed to the interior wall surface of the elevator cab. Swing arrester members are affixed to the cab wall and are engagable with the vertical member to inhibit lateral motion of the lattice frame structure. The lattice frame is made of lightweight extruded aluminum members of the same cross section.
