Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for continuous production of polymer including a polymerisation reactor. The reactor includes a first pulley and a second pulley arranged at a distance from each other, which distance, defining a longitudinal first direction, and a flexible endless belt having a first edge section and a second edge section, which belt, is arranged to travel over the first pulley and the second pulley as a flat belt. The reactor further includes a supporting structure, which is arranged to support the flexible endless belt between the first pulley and the second pulley, whereby the supporting structure is arranged to form the flexible endless belt into a trough section by deviating the first edge section and the second edge section of the flexible endless belt away from the first direction. The trough section has a width-to-height ratio <1.2.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus body (11), for example, for a refrigerator (10), has a first compartment (15) intended for storage of items at atmospheric pressure and a second compartment (16) for storage of items at subatmospheric pressure, the two compartments being surrounded by surrounds formed by a thermal insulation element (13). The second compartment (16) is lined within the associated surround by a separately constructed hermetic liner (23) bonded to that surround. The liner (23) can be an integrally formed box-shaped component produced by, for example, injection moulding or blow moulding from plastics material. The resistance of the liner (23) to the internal load of subatmospheric pressure is provided primarily by the thermal insulation lining surround and the bond therewith, so that the liner, whilst providing a hermetic barrier relative to the surround, can be of inexpensive lightweight construction.

Abstract: A dosing pump for a liquid additive in the fuel of a heavy fuel engine. The pump includes a piston, a cylinder and an actuator for moving the piston axially in the cylinder. The actuator is a high resolution linear actuator.

Abstract: A handwheel-operated device comprising a fixed body, a handwheel and a moveable body, the handwheel being rotatable relative to the fixed body and the moveable body moveable relative to the fixed body, and the device further comprising a first motor operable to actuate the moveable body, first sensor means responsive to the rotation of the handwheel and first control means operable in conjunction with the first sensor means to cause the first motor to rotate upon an angular displacement and/or angular velocity of the handwheel.
