  • Publication number: 20160003399
    Abstract: A pulsation damper configured to reduce pressure peaks in a pipe system. The pulsation damper comprises an elastic pipe section arranged to be in a small volume state or a large volume state. A first volume held in the elastic pipe section in the large volume state is greater than a second volume held in the elastic pipe section in the small volume state. The elastic pipe section has an elliptical cross section in the small volume state. A ratio between a major axis and a minor axis of the elastic pipe section is in the range 1.05 to 10.0, such as 1.1 to 1.5.

  • Publication number: 20160003398
    Abstract: A pulsation damper configured to reduce pressure variations in a pipe system. The pulsation damper comprises a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The first pipe section is at least partly placed inside the second pipe section such that a product flow can flow through the first pipe section and then through a space formed between the first pipe section and the second pipe section. Due to the increased cross sectional area of the second pipe section pressure variations can be damped efficiently.

  • Publication number: 20150058871
    Abstract: A rendering device dynamically varies how audio and visual information is rendered by a rendering device responsive to changes in distance between the rendering device and a mobile device carried by a user. As the user moves about, the distance between the rendering device and the mobile device carried by the user will vary. As the distance between the mobile device and the rendering device changes, the rendering system can dynamically adapt how the audio and visual information is rendered. For example, the rendering device can increase or decrease the volume of an audio output, depending on changes in the distance. Also, the rendering device can change how visual information is rendered on a display responsive to changes in distance. In some embodiments, when the distance between the mobile device and rendering device exceeds a predetermined distance, the audio and/or visual information may be sent to the mobile device.
