  • Patent number: 11702795
    Abstract: A method for processing pulp in an apparatus for washing and dewatering pulp, and a system for controlling this apparatus, the apparatus comprising two rotatable press rolls (102, 104) having a permeable outer surface (106, 108), and a vat (114, 116, 118), the press rolls (102, 104) defining a press nip (112) between them. The processing is determined by a set of variable operating parameters, which are adjusted and/or maintained during operation in response to deviations of measured values of control parameters in relation to their respective predetermined threshold values. The variable operating parameters include rotation speed of the press rolls. The control parameters include vat pressure and/or linear load.

  • Patent number: 9908440
    Abstract: Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a seat assembly, and corresponding method and computer readable medium, for adjusting a seat in an autonomous vehicle. The adjustment is provided such that a seat occupant may control the adjustment may providing a natural pushing force once the vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode.

  • Patent number: 6234910
    Abstract: A shaft arrangement includes two shaft ends positioned in end-to-end abutting relation and an outer sleeve surrounding the abutting ends of the two shaft ends. The outer sleeve has through-channels for introducing pressure medium in the interface between the shaft ends and the outer sleeve to create a sleeve expanding effect during mounting and dismounting, and a radial grip acting between the sleeve and the two shaft ends, when the pressure medium has been drained through the through-channels, with the radial grip effecting a radial as well as an axial joining of the shaft ends and the outer sleeve. Each shaft end adjacent its abutting end face is equipped with a grip arrangement that is engaged by a thrust member. The thrust member bridges the abutting end faces and engages the grip arrangement inside the outer sleeve to inhibit the two shaft ends from being axially pulled apart even upon application of a large axial force.

  • Patent number: 5170551
    Abstract: When aligning heavy shafts, their flanges (4, 5) are first roughly aligned, after which an expander bolt (10) is inserted through the roughly aligned flange holes (16). The expander bolts have a conical core (6) and internally conical sleeves (1, 2) arranged axially separated from each other thereon. First the sleeves (1, 2) are inserted into the relevant flange (4, 5) to the plane (50) between the shaft flanges. Then the bolt core (6) is inserted through the sleeves (1, 2), the front end of the conical section (64) passing the plane (20) between the sleeves (1, 2). In order to keep the nearest sleeve (1) at the plane (50) when the bolt core (6) is being drawn, a spacer (8) is used which is placed on the drawn end of the bolt shaft (6) and has a head (86) located between a drawing device (7) fitted on the bolt shaft (6) and the exposed end surface (41) of the adjacent shaft flange.
