Patent number: 10525239Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt for treatment of hydrocephalus, comprising a valve having an inlet port and an outlet port, which ports are for draining CSF, and a control port for regulating the drainage of CSF through the valve according to a hydrostatic pressure provided to the control port, which hydrostatic pressure is dependent on the body position of the patient. The disclosure further relates to a method for treatment of hydrocephalus comprising regulating drainage of CSF based on a hydrostatic pressure that is dependent on the body position of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Inventors: Niclas Roxhed, Staffan Johansson, Göran Stemme, Anders Eklund, Jan Malm

Patent number: 8784331Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the hydro-dynamic properties of the fluid system surrounding the brain and the spinal cord, the so called cerebrospinal fluid system, whereby the method comprises continuous pressure measurement through a fluid contact passage and active infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid through another fluid contact passage to a number of pressure-flow levels, and analysis of the connections between the measured pressures and flows. The method uses an adaptive way of procedure which on each pressure-flow level takes account for the measure time and the patient's fluctuations in physiologic signals for calculating in real time when the relation between the measure time and measure accuracy in pressure and flow on the actual pressure-flow level is sufficient and at an optimum, whereupon the investigation or examination is automatically proceeding to the next level according to a predetermined protocol.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2006Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Likvor ABInventor: Jan Malm

Patent number: 8784538Abstract: The invention relates to a unit (3) for deaeration of drainage water from a paper machine, said unit comprising an inlet (8) for receiving the drainage water in a first flow direction, an outlet (39) for removing the drainage water to a subsequent deaeration channel, and a first chamber (5) that is arranged downstream of the inlet, said first chamber comprising a first chamber part (18), which comprises a guide wall portion (37) for redirecting the drainage water in a second flow direction that differs from the first flow direction, said guide wall portion being formed by a plurality of curved guide walls (10, 23) which interact with the drainage water so that the drainage water is decelerated and air is forced out of the drainage water, and two end walls (25, 26) which are arranged on respective sides of the guide walls, wherein each end wall of at least one of the flow channels exhibits an opening (27) that communicates with the flow channel for removing air that has been released from the drainage water inType: GrantFiled: December 8, 2010Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Valmet ABInventors: Jan Malm, Rune Skogsberg, Leif Videgren, Christian Ako

Patent number: 6500306Abstract: An arrangement for handling white water from a paper machine comprises a white water channel having an inlet end for receiving white water from a paper machine and an opposite outlet end defining a main outlet through which the white water is discharged into a container. A channel bottom slopes downward and an additional outlet is provided between the main outlet and the inlet end, the bottom having a first bottom portion that leads away from the inlet end up to the additional outlet and a second bottom portion that leads away from the additional outlet toward the main outlet. The first and second bottom portions are so arranged in relation to each other that each of the bottom portions slopes downward in the flow direction at an angle of inclination that exceeds a critical angle of inclination that avoids sedimentation on the bottom.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Metso Paper Karlstad ABInventor: Jan Malm

Patent number: 5472095Abstract: Screening cylinders for screening lignocellulose-containing fibrous material are disclosed. The cylinders are formed from longitudinal bars separated by gaps, and support rings extending around the circumference of the cylinders to support the bars, as well as longitudinal strips whose outer surfaces are a greater distance from the support rings than are the bars.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1994Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Assignee: AB KnufsilplatarInventor: Jan Malm
