  • Publication number: 20230255522
    Abstract: An optical detection apparatus is arranged to detect particles in a fluid flowing through a tubing portion of transparent or translucent material. The apparatus comprises a holder for the tubing portion; a light emitting device configured to irradiate a target volume inside the tubing portion when arranged in the holder; and at least one light receiving device configured to receive light from the target volume when irradiated by the light emitting device and generate one or more time-dependent output signals indicative of the received light. A computation device is configured to determine a parameter indicative of temporal variability in the one or more time-dependent output signals and estimate the density based on the parameter, which has been found to be robust to structural differences between tubings and allows the apparatus to be deployed without calibration.

  • Patent number: 10501699
    Abstract: This invention relates to low sulfur marine bunker fuel compositions and methods of making the same. The invention also relates to an uncracked, hydrotreated vacuum resid for use in making the low sulfur marine bunker fuel composition. Contrary to conventional marine/bunker fuel compositions, the low sulfur marine/bunker fuel composition uses mostly uncracked components, including a (cat feed) hydrotreated vacuum resid. The low sulfur marine/bunker fuel composition can also have reduced contents of residual components.

  • Patent number: 8133162
    Abstract: A ring, preferably in the form of a lock nut, made for combi rolls, which ring includes at least one spring device in which a mechanical compression spring is included that acts between, on one hand, a front press body that is movable to and fro in order to constantly forward a spring force generated by the compression spring and, on the other hand, a support body, which may assume a fixed position, but which is adjustably movable by way of a screw in order to alter the tension in the compression spring.

  • Patent number: 7509805
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a plurality of cylinders, and each cylinder has at least one first and one second exhaust port with associated respective first and second exhaust valves. At least one first and one second exhaust manifold are flow-connected to the respective first and second exhaust ports. A turbo unit for supercharging the charge air delivered to the cylinders comprises at least one first and one second exhaust gas turbine respectively flow connected to the first and the second exhaust manifolds. An exhaust gas chamber flow-connects the first and the second exhaust manifolds upstream of the exhaust gas turbines. The first and second exhaust valves can be deactivated/activated during operation.

  • Patent number: 6022448
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coated paperboard for formed articles, which paperboard consists of a fibermatrix in one, two or more layers and a coating and has adequate surface for printing and adequate surface gloss for each specific type of formed articles. The paperboard has been calendered after coating with a heatable calender having a soft extended nip, and has reduced density and reduced grammage at a given value for bending force compared to corresponding coated paperboard which has been calendered before or during and after coating with a heatable or non-heatable calender having a hard or soft nip. Additionally, a production line for the production of such coated paperboard, a process for the production of such coated paperboard, and a method of reducing the susceptibility to crack formation at folding of such a coated paperboard, are described.
