Furthermore, each winding portion (4) comprises a conductive coil arrangement (5) wound around each winding portion (4).

Abstract: An electronic circuit is included, which acts as a zener diode below a zener voltage, and as a constant current source above the zener voltage comprising an input terminal, an output terminal, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a first NPN-transistor, a second NPN-transistor, a PNP-transistor, and a voltage reference, where the zener voltage of the electronic circuit can be selected by a user.

Abstract: The present invention provides sulforaphane, or a plant extract comprising sulforaphane, for treating or reducing insulin resistance of the liver. Especially, there is provided sulforaphane, or a plant extract comprising sulforaphane, for treating or reducing insulin resistance of the liver, wherein, in the subject to be treated, the insulin resistance index of the liver is higher than the insulin resistance of other metabolic tissue.

Abstract: A transmitter circuit generates an electric source signal, and emits a corresponding alternating electromagnetic field. A receiver antenna registers the alternating electromagnetic field and any modifications thereof due the presence of a tag unit within a range of operation. The receiver antenna is arranged relative to the transmitter antenna and a potential tag unit, such that a portion of the emitted alternating electromagnetic field reaches the receiver antenna unmodified irrespective of whether or not a tag unit is present within the range of operation. A receiver circuit connected to the receiver antenna produces an electric detection signal in response to the alternating electromagnetic fields. Based on the electric detection signal, a processing unit discriminates identification data of any tag unit having modified the alternating electromagnetic field by utilizing an aiding signal component originating from the unmodified portion of the alternating electromagnetic field.

Abstract: A device and method for removing radioactive crud material deposited on surfaces of a nuclear fuel assembly in a nuclear plant is provided. The device comprises a container arranged to accommodate the nuclear fuel assembly, a first pumping means to pump a fluid, composed of water and ice, through the container in order to release the deposit from the nuclear fuel assembly by abrasion and to transport the released radioactive material out from the container. The first pump means also enables the feeding of a gas or steam or both to the fluid that is fed into and through the container in order to create a turbulence in the fluid. The device further comprises means, arranged in a &ggr;-radiation-dampening medium, disposed to receive the radioactive deposit transported out of the container by the fluid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for fuel handling in a nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor has a reactor vessel comprising a reactor core with a plurality of fuel assemblies and control rods. A fuel pool is arranged adjacent to the reactor vessel. A group comprising at least a plurality of fuel assemblies is simultaneously lifted out of or into the reactor vessel with a single gripper, the gripper having a plurality of gripping devices. The group is transported between the reactor vessel and the fuel pool by means of the gripper.

Abstract: A method of removing the skin casing from a sausage by slitting the sausage (2) in its one end region comprises the steps that a flap of the skin casing is gripped by a gripper (15) in the immediate proximity of the slit. The gripped flap is displaced in relation to the sausage (2) in a direction transversely of the longitudinal direction of the sausage, preferably approximately tangential. The gripper and the sausage undergo a relative displacement in the longitudinal direction of the sausage. The sausage will, at least during a part of the removal operation of the skin casing, be caused to rotate approximately about its longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for correction of the movements of a suspension device and positioning thereof in a fluid. The suspension device is provided with a first and a second end, and the first end is suspended from a point (S). A correction device is arranged at the second end of the suspension device and adapted to generate a force which provides an acceleration in the fluid so that the position of the second end of the suspension device is corrected.

Abstract: The present invention is used in fuel handling for lifting of fuel assemblies and/or control rods out of/into a reactor vessel in a nuclear reactor.
