Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a system, computer readable mediums and computer program products for controlling a process for producing a layered substrate. The method comprises the steps of: collecting (32) at least one first set of measurement data related to parameters of a substrate at a first process stage located upstream a pressing step in the translation direction (A) of the conveying means (14); collecting (34) at least one second set of measurement data related to parameters of the substrate at a second process stage located upstream a pressing step in the translation direction (A) of the conveying means (14); and controlling (36) resin dosage by using collected measurement data from the first and second process stage and a calculated calibration model, which model is based on collected measurement data of substrates at the first and/or second process stage.

Abstract: An arrangement for a grandstand having a series of sections, each section having a pair of sloping joists each provided with a number of vertical seating beam pillars and a number of walkways between the joists. Fastening and securing devices are provided at an upper part of each seating beam pillar. The fastening devices are provided with first locking devices capable of receiving second locking devices provided at the ends of seating beams intended to be mounted between two opposite seating beam pillars on the joists. One of the locking means has a resilient element. The first locking device is provided with a female member and the second locking device is provided with a male member. The resilient element allows connection of the male and female members with one another to lock the members in their connected positions. The resilient element has at least one tongue provided in connection with one of the members.

Abstract: A method for controlling a process for the production of a cellulose fiber containing product, during which at least two substances having a substantial influence on the same property of said product in correspondence to the relation between them are added, whereby a calibration model has been established by linking reference property values and corresponding reference relations, by means of a mathematical function, and in that the method comprises applying the calibration model on the actual relation in order to predict the property value; comparing the predicted property value with a desired target property value; and, if said predicted value is not substantially equal to said target value, adjusting the actual relation in a predetermined way; and repeating these operations until said predicted value is substantially equal to said target value.

Abstract: A matrix coating suitable for use in a biosensor is provided. This matrix coating comprises a hydrogel bound to a surface and via which a desired ligand can be bound. This hydrogel is activated to contain charged groups for bringing about the concentration of biomolecules carrying an opposite charge to that of said charged groups, and reactive groups for covalently binding the biomolecules concentrated to the matrix coating.

Abstract: A sensing surface suitable for use in a biosensor, comprising:a film of a free electron metal selected from the group consisting of copper, silver, aluminum and gold; anda densely packed monolayer of an organic molecule X-R-Y coated on one of the faces of said film where X is a group selected from the group consisting ofasymmetrical or symmetrical disulfide (--SSR'Y', -SSRY, sulfide (-SR'Y', -SRY), diselenide (-SeSeR'Y', -SeSeRY), selenide (SeR'Y', -SeRY),thiol (-SH), isonitrile, nitro (-NO.sub.2), selenol (-SeH), trivalent phosphorus compounds, isothiocyanate, xanthate, thiocarbamate, phosphine,thio acid and dithio acid (-COSH, -CSSH)where R and R' are hydrocarbon chains optionally interrupted by hetero atoms, of a length exceeding 10 atoms, wherein in the case of an asymmetrical molecule, R' or R may be H, and Y and Y' are active groups for covalently binding ligands or a biocompatible porous matrix.

Abstract: An apparatus for the transfer of one or more substances between a gas and a liquid, for example between an oxygen-containing gas and blood, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of concentric vessels which define a flow path for the liquid, and which includes along a portion of the path an annular heat exchange chamber having a first end at which the liquid is introduced into the chamber and a second end at which the liquid is conducted from the chamber. A heat exchanger is supported in the heat exchange chamber for conducting a heat exchange fluid in heat exchange relationship with the liquid as the liquid flows through the chamber. Gas in the form of bubbles is introduced into the liquid as the liquid is conducted along the flow path to thereby effect transfer of substances between the gas and the liquid, the gas being introduced upstream of the first end of the heat exchange chamber.

Abstract: A device for the transfer of one or more substances between a gas and a liquid, the gas being introduced into the liquid in the form of bubbles from which the said substances are transferred to the liquid whereupon the excess gas is removed together with any substances transferred from the liquid to the gas. Characteristic for the device is a narrow annular gap (10), arranged vertically, for the liquid, a gas inlet (20), arranged in close connection to this gap (10), this gas inlet being adapted so that it introduces the gas uniformly distributed along the whole periphery of the gap (10), and means (34,36) for the removal of the excess gas.The device is intended in particular to be used as a so-called oxygenator when the said liquid is blood and the said gas is oxygen or an oxygen mixture. Carbon dioxide from the blood will then be removed together with the excess gas.

Abstract: In a pack of rectangular plates to be used in a regenerative heat exchanger the plates are kept in position by a plurality of mutually parallel tension rods passing through registering openings in the plates. Each tension rod has at its ends securing means co-operating with the outer plates of the stack for holding the plates pressed against each other. At least one of the tension rods is provided with a lifting eye device which can be moved into the pack and out of the pack, respectively.
