Claims18
A system of building units comprising two or more hexagonal building units arranged in a honeycomb configuration.
A moving walkway comprising a plurality of segments, each operating at a different speed from an adjacent segment, said moving walkway further comprising a transition segment comprising one or more freely rotating rollers between adjacent moving walkway segments.
A linear transport escalator or moving walkway comprising at least one elongate lane having at least three different segments operating at different points along the lane, wherein a first segment operates at a first speed, a second segment operates at a second speed, different from the first speed, and a third segment operates at a third speed, different from the second speed, and wherein the first, second, and third segments operate in a same linear transport direction.
