  • Patent number: 10590869
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine for driving a working assembly with a clutch, including a combustion chamber into which a mixture of fuel and air is supplied, a spark plug to ignite the mixture, ignition of the mixture driving a piston operably coupled to a crank portion of the engine, a fuel supply system including a fuel valve and a throttle valve, a throttle position sensor configured to determine a position of the throttle valve, a speed sensor configured to determine engine speed, and an electronic control unit configured to control operation of the fuel valve and the spark plug, the electronic control unit being configured to initiate a speed limitation operation in response to a first position of the throttle valve at engine start-up, wherein the speed limitation operation continues until the throttle valve is moved from its first position.

  • Publication number: 20190048794
    Abstract: Herein a control system (10) for controlling an internal combustion engine of a hand-held power tool (2) is disclosed. The control system (10) comprises an electronic control logic (24), a first and a second sensor (26, 28). A first conductive path (36) comprises the first sensor (26). A second conductive path (38) comprises the second sensor (28). The first and second conductive paths are connected to an input (40) of the electronic control logic (24). The first and second conductive paths are connected to a fixed voltage potential. The first conductive path (36) has a first electrical property and the second conductive path (38) has a second electrical property. The first electrical property and the second electrical property together are different from at least one of the first electrical property and the second electrical property, such that the electronic control logic (24) is able to detect different states.

  • Patent number: 9665080
    Abstract: Arrangement and methods for communicating data between a control system (100) of a power tool (10) and a computing device (20). The arrangement (1) comprises a control system (100) with a plurality of electronic control units, ECUs (110, 120), a computing device (20), and a connecting unit (30) comprising a data connection (32). The plurality of ECUs (110, 120) are connected to a common bus of the control system (100). Each of the plurality of ECUs (110, 120) has a passive service mode (201) and an active service mode (202). The computing device is operable of transmitting a wake-up communication signal to the plurality of ECUs (110, 120), which wake-up communication signal comprises an ID of a selected ECU (110, 120) out of the plurality of ECUs (110, 120).

  • Patent number: 7878258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fire protection installation (30) comprising a mist sprayer system with at least one nozzle (5, 10) through which extinguishing medium in the form of liquid is arranged to be sprayed out at high pressure, so that a mist is created for achieving fire extinguishing by means of cooling of combustion gases and the seat of the fire. The distinguishing characteristics are that the fire protection installation is portable and has a modular construction comprising a basic system (31) and a number of customized additional systems, which additional systems comprise different additional units that are adapted to a particular function profile that is set in the actual fire protection installation.

  • Patent number: 6446536
    Abstract: A loading system of artillery guns to enable modular charges that are combinable into larger units to be handled in a main magazine with a number of mutually parallel magazine tubes designed to accommodate the modular charges and a retrieval tube whose infeed/outfeed aperture can be docked with the outfeed aperture of any magazine tube. The retrieval tube is used to transfer a selected number of modular charges from the magazine tubes to a loading pendulum used for loading the gun.
