  • Patent number: 10640252
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating an apparatus for applying drinking straws to packaging containers. The method comprises the step of moving a drinking straw carrier from an application position to the leaving position, in a packaging container moving direction, maintaining a velocity in that direction being equal to a constant velocity of a first conveyor. The invention also relates to an apparatus being operated according to the method.

  • Patent number: 9676512
    Abstract: A forming device and method for use in a packaging machine of the type where packages are produced from a tube. The forming device comprises two opposing sealing elements between which the tube is arranged to be flat-laid and squeezed to heat the thermoplastic and obtain a first transverse seal of the tube. It further comprises two volume control elements. The forming device is characterized in that it is arranged to displace the first transverse seal off-center in relation a longitudinal axis of the first portion of the tube in a displacement direction essentially perpendicular to the first transverse seal to enable later shaping of a corresponding final package with a wall arranged with a predetermined angle of inclination in relation to the displacement direction. The invention also relates to a machine, a process and a packaging laminate.

  • Patent number: 9071888
    Abstract: A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine (10) having a compressor (12), a combustor and a turbine (16) that includes a sensor (306) in connection with a turbine blade (301) or vane (22). A telemetry transmitter circuit (312) may be affixed to the turbine blade with an electrical connecting material (307) for routing electronic data signals from the sensor (306) to the telemetry transmitter circuit, the electronic data signals indicative of a condition of the turbine blade. A resonant energy transfer system for powering the telemetry transmitter circuit may include a rotating data antenna (314) affixed to the turbine blade or on a same substrate as that of the circuit. A stationary data antenna (320) may be affixed to a stationary component such as a stator (323) proximate and in spaced relation to the rotating data antenna for receiving electronic data signals from the rotating data antenna.

  • Patent number: 6325889
    Abstract: A new and improved way of continuously cooking fiber material, wherein temperatures and alkaline levels are controlled to be maintained within specific levels in different zones of the digesting process in order to optimize chemical consumption and heat-economy and at the same time achieve very good pulp properties. The digesting process includes a top separator that separates the transport liquid from the fiber material and permits the fiber material to be exposed to the cooking liquid.

  • Patent number: 6233983
    Abstract: In a washing apparatus for washing cellulose pup, comprising a vertical, column-shaped washing vessel (2), and a screen unit (7) which is movable in the washing vessel, during a screening phase, at a first speed, from an upper position to a lower position, and, during a return movement, at a substantially higher speed, from the lower position to the upper position, there is a float body (30) which exerts a buoyancy force on the screen unit.
