Patent number: 7591437Abstract: A crusher has first and second crushing elements spaced apart to form a crushing gap therebetween. A measuring device is arranged to measure the instantaneous load on the crusher during at least one period to obtain a number of measured values. A calculation device is arranged to calculate a representative load value that is representative of the highest, measured instantaneous load during each such period of time. A control device is arranged to compare the representative load value with a desired value and to control the load on the crusher depending on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2004Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Anders Nilsson, Johan Gullander, Kjell-Åke Svensson, Kent Nilsson, Mattias Nilsson

Patent number: 7360726Abstract: In a method for starting a crushing operation in a gyratory crusher in which rocks are passed through a crushing gap to be crushed, the following steps are carried out: (a) a driving device is started which causes a crushing head to execute a gyratory pendulum movement, and a first width of the crushing gap is set, (b) a supply of material to the gap is commenced, (c) the resulting load on the crusher is measured, (d) the width of the gap is adjusted so that the load approaches a desired value, (e) a measure which is representative of the width of the gap after adjustment, is read, and (f) such read measure is utilized for calculation of a gap width for use as a first width of the gap in carrying out step (a) of the next start-up of a crushing operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2004Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Kent Nilsson, Mattias Nilsson

Patent number: 7108208Abstract: A crusher includes a replaceable first crushing member having a first crusher surface and a replaceable second crushing member having a second crusher surface. The co-operation of the crusher surfaces is defined by at least one crusher setting parameter. From measurements of a quality parameter, which relates to the nature of the crushed material, on at least two different occasions during the service life of a set of replaceable first and second crushing members and on each occasion for at least two different settings of the crusher setting parameter, a control function can be determined that describes a value, of the at least one crusher setting parameter, which on a given occasion gives a crushed material the quality parameter of which is substantially optimal.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Mattias Nilsson, Kent Nilsson, Richard Bern, Per Gothenqvist, Anders Nilsson

Patent number: 6435591Abstract: A device for counteracting whiplash injury to a person sitting in a seat (1) which can occur due to a rapid change in velocity, such as a collision, primarily from the rear, or similar. The device is characterized by containing means of allowing controlled displacement of the entire seat (1) against the direction of travel during rapid change of velocity, that the seat (1) is provided with control devices which are arranged to give the seat and its occupant an essentially simultaneous and essentially linear movement against the direction of movement and/or an essentially arcuate movement, and that the seat (1) is arranged to stay in a rear position after the change of velocity.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1999Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventor: Kent Nilsson

Patent number: 6435592Abstract: In one embodiment, a device is configured to counteract the occurrence of whiplash injury to a person sitting in a seat, which can occur due to a rapid change in velocity, such as in a rear-end collision. The device comprises guide means that, during a change in motion of a vehicle, provide for a change in position of the seat in the form of translation and rotational movement of the seat in a generally backward direction opposite the direction of travel of the vehicle. As the seat and the occupant of the seat move backward relative to the vehicle, the head of the occupant accelerates over a longer distance than the hips of the occupant.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventor: Kent Nilsson

Publication number: 20010011830Abstract: An apparatus that reduces the acceleration to which the body is subjected after the incidence of the collision to less than 4 g, since it has been found that whiplash injuries occur in collisions exceeding 5 g. In one embodiment, a device and a method intended to counteract the occurrence of whiplash injury to a person sitting in a seat, which could occur through a rapid change in velocity, such as in a collision essentially from the rear. The arrangement contains means whereby the seat will move in a controlled manner against the direction of movement during a change in velocity, and that the seat is provided with guide means, which are designed to give the seat and the person sitting in it a controlled inclined an essentially simultaneous backward movement, in which the head of the occupant sitting on the seat is accelerating under a longer distance compared with the occupants hip close to the seat, and that the seat is arranged so that it will remain in its rearward position after the change in velocity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2001Publication date: August 9, 2001Inventor: Kent Nilsson

Patent number: 4578562Abstract: For controlling a work process carried out by means of a robot (RB), instructions are stored both relating to the positioning of the robot and relating to the very process to be accomplished. The process instructions are stored in the form of process stage instructions (SPS, SPM and SPE) comprising(a) process start stage, during which the process is initiated (the arc is struck, for instance, when arc welding is involved) and the relative movement between object and robot can be started;(b) process main stage, during which the actual process is carried out; and, at least when the process is not directly followed by a further process;(c) process terminal stage, during which the process is terminated (the arc is broken, for instance, when arc welding is involved) and the relative movement between object and robot can be stopped.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1984Date of Patent: March 25, 1986Assignee: ASEA ABInventors: Lars Lindstrom, Kent Nilsson
