  • Patent number: 11374359
    Abstract: A high voltage electrical connector for electric current connections in vehicles includes a first connector unit and a complementary second connector unit releasably connectable with the first connector unit. A primary locking member is arranged in the first connector unit, and a stationary locking part is arranged in the second connector unit, where the primary locking member is electromagnetically movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the primary locking member is in locking engagement with the stationary locking part preventing the first connector unit and the second connector unit from being released from each other, and in the unlocked position the primary locking member is disengaged from the stationary locking part allowing the first connector unit and the second connector unit from being released from each other.

  • Publication number: 20220186800
    Abstract: A method of forming a friction surface of a friction member with an increased friction coefficient on the friction surface is described. The method includes forming the friction member including a matrix composite of a first material and reinforcing particles of a second material embedded in the first material, wherein the first material has a lower melting temperature than the second material, and forming the friction surface by melting a surface layer of the first material of the friction member to expose a part of the reinforcing particles and thereby to enable an increase of the friction coefficient of the friction surface of the friction member.

  • Patent number: 10022931
    Abstract: There is provided an arrangement and a method for handling a load for isostatic pressure treatment in a high-pressure arrangement. The arrangement includes a transportation unit including at least one track for transporting the load into a treatment position for isostatic pressure treatment of the load from a working space outside the high-pressure arrangement. Furthermore, the transportation unit is further arranged for transporting the load from the treatment position to the working space after pressure treatment of the load. The arrangement further includes a partition plane arranged at least partially above the high-pressure arrangement, wherein the working space is provided above the partition plane. The partition plane is arranged to shield the working space from the high-pressure arrangement in the event of a gas leakage of the high-pressure arrangement.

  • Patent number: 6800061
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the pressure p in an eye, the so-called intraocular pressure. The method includes a contact body with a known geometry being pressed against the eye with a gradually increasing contact force F and that when the area of deformation of the eye A can be determined, the pressure can be obtained from the relation P=F/A, whereby the frequency characteristic of a contact body associated with a sensor system oscillating in resonance is read, the contact body is pressed against the eye to form a new system oscillating in resonance, the contact force and frequency characteristic for the new system is read, and the change in frequency characteristic is calculated. In this way, the pressure of the eye can be determined since the sought deformation area A is a function of the change A(ƒich ar!).

  • Patent number: 6532438
    Abstract: An improved system for simulating bipolar transistors with a variation in Early voltage as a function of collector/emitter bias voltage is disclosed. The simulation is based upon a standard Gummel-Poon model and is improved by an Early voltage extension, where the constant Early voltage is replaced by an Early voltage that is divided into several regions. The Early voltage is adjusted to fit the actual variations of the measured Early voltage characteristics of a bipolar transistor. The Early voltage within each region is used for calculating the bipolar transistors base charge which then is used to simulate the performance of the bipolar transistor. The regions may be linked together by choice of boundary conditions.

  • Patent number: 6391187
    Abstract: Method of electrolytically continuously treating a material of stainless steel at a current density of 0.1-3 A/cm2, wherein the material is passed through one or more electrolytic cells arranged in series. The cells contain an electrolyte selected from sulphuric acid, a salt thereof, phosphoric acid and nitric acid, and the material is passed through the electrolyte between electrodes arranged in series under the influence of a direct current with alternating polarity. The electrodes are arranged alternately anodic and cathodic and every electrode on one side of said material is matched by an electrode of the same polarity on an opposite side of the material, whereby an oxide surface layer with a thickness of at least 1 micrometer is removed from the material to produce a surface conditioning effect.

  • Patent number: 6003347
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock system for locking theft attractive property to fixed, preferably immovable objects (3), such as buildings, posts, etc., with the aid of an anchoring member (2) and a user-carried separate lock (6). The anchoring member (2) includes a first end (2a) which may be connected fixedly to the fixed object or the property. The anchoring member (2) also includes a second end (2b) which with the aid of the lock (6) may be locked either directly to a part of the property or to the fixed object subsequent to having passed an intermediate part (2c) of the anchoring member around a part of the property.
