Publication number: 20230182735Abstract: There is provided a method and control system for limiting a driver acceleration request of a vehicle. The vehicle comprises a controller arrangement that receives a driver acceleration request and determines whether the driver acceleration request is below an acceleration threshold. If so, it initiates a limiting protocol and dependent on the distance between a preceding vehicle and the host vehicle limits the acceleration of the vehicle in comparison to the driver acceleration request. The invention further relates to a vehicle comprising such as control system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Conny Johansson Andermård, Jonas Oresten

Patent number: 11331830Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of composite materials from natural fibers and thermoplastic polymers. Examples of fibers are wood fibers originating from pulping processes known as refiner pulp (RMP), thermomechanical pulp (TMP) or chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP), but the process can also be applied to other kinds of natural fiber containing raw materials. In the process according to the present invention, fibers are introduced from the blowline or the housing of a refiner into a flash tube dryer, separated from humid air in a cyclone, introduced into a compounder and mixed with at least one thermoplastic polymer and the product is subsequently pelletized. The process according to the present invention is advantageously run as a continuous process.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Stora Enso OYJInventors: Johan Kallstrom, Fredrik Kallstrom, Martin Malmqvist, Roger Bergstrom, Conny Johansson, Maria Tornblom, Sofi Karlsson

Patent number: 10368404Abstract: A solid-state microwave generator for applying energy to a load disposed in a cavity is provided. The microwave generator comprises an oscillator, a preamplifier coupled to the oscillator, a power amplifier coupled to the preamplifier; a radiating element coupled to the power amplifier and in communication with the cavity; and a passive, microstrip bandpass filter with a predetermined passband in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum connected in a line between the oscillator and the power amplifier. The output of the passive, microstrip bandpass filter is connected to an input of the power amplifier to limit the energy transmitted by the radiating element into the cavity at frequencies outside of the passband.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventor: Conny A. Johansson
