Patent number: 6378275Abstract: A packaging system having a bar code reader integrated therein for conveying information concerning the size and filling requirements of a product to a packaging machine which will produce the product. The packaging machine is capable of consecutively filling cartons with different products in a single production cycle. The bar code reader provides this information from the bar code placed on every blank that is to be produced into a formed, filled and sealed carton. The filling system of the packaging machine may have a primary and secondary product for mixing in a package to produce a final product. Alternatively, the filling system may have several filling pipes, each filling pipe dispensing a different product. The bar code reader instructs the conveyor under which fill pipe a particular carton should be filled to match the product with the carton.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance, SAInventor: Sven-Arne Andersson

Patent number: 6289854Abstract: A circulation pump for pumping a fluid, for example for heat interchange, by way of a rotating impeller is included in a circulation system that includes a first feeder liner from a heat source to a cooling device, a return line from the cooling device to the pump and a valve for shunting the outflow from the heat source via a bypass line back to the pump. The bypass line is connected to the pump in such a way that a flow essentially from this line produces and/or increases a pre-rotation of the inflow to the impeller, which pre-rotation results in a reduction of the power required by the engine.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1999Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: Volvo Lastvagnar ABInventors: Jan Christian Holmström, Sassan Etemad, Arne Andersson

Patent number: 5106296Abstract: Method for fixation of different positions of a model (2) of the mandible relatively to a model (1) of the maxilla of a patient. One of the models consists of two members (15, 16) namely a tooth member and a socket member unified along coinsiding joint surfaces forming a common boarder plane (19) in a predetermined mutual position. The method comprises impressions of the teeth of the mandible and maxilla respectively are made in an index (54) in the shape of a plastically deformable plate, partly in a thick plate and partly in a thin plate. The mandible and maxilla models (2) are positioned in an articulator (5) so that they coinside with the thick index. The thick index is replaced with the thin index, forming an interspace between the joint surfaces of the divided model. The interspace is cast by filling the space with a cast mass, obtaining a removable interlayer plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1989Date of Patent: April 21, 1992Assignee: Margareta VardeInventors: Per Varde, Carl-Arne Andersson

Patent number: 4984601Abstract: Means acting upon the flow, such as pumps or valves are used inter alia in the handling of liquid foodstuffs, e.g. milk, in packing machines. Since the demands on hygiene in this context are very high, especially if the packing machine operates with foodstuff sterilized beforehand, it is a disadvantage that manoeuvering devices for the means acting upon the flow have to pass from the outside into the sterile flow path where the means is located. This is avoided in accordance with the invention in that the means (3) acting upon the flow is combined with an actuator (8) which can be acted upon electromagnetically by a stator (7) isolated from the flow path.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1989Date of Patent: January 15, 1991Assignee: AB ProforInventors: Sven-Arne Andersson, Anders Sundberg

Patent number: 4928622Abstract: A machine for applying adhesive on one side of an elongate sheet material, and comprising an adhesive containing trough (19), an adhesive application roller (20) and a driven pressure roller (21). The sheet material (15) is being passed through the nip between said rollers and the width of the rollers surpasses the width of the sheet material. The contact surface of the pressure roller (21) upon the sheet (15), consists of an endless belt (23). The belt (23) runs via at least one guide roller (24) through a trough (25), containing rinsing fluid (25). In said trough the belt (23) runs past at least one further guide roller (27), and past a brush roller (29) which is mounted in the trough (25), adjacent the outer side of the endless belt loop (23). The brush roller is being driven in counter rotation to the direction of movement of the belt.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1989Date of Patent: May 29, 1990Assignee: AB Akerlund & RausingInventors: Lennart Larsson, Arne Andersson
