Patent number: 7631590Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering arrangement (1) with a supply connection arrangement (P, T), a working connection arrangement (A, B) connectable to a steering motor (5), a steering unit (6) located between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (A, B), and a steering valve (14) whose outlet is connected to the working connection arrangement (A, B). It is endeavored to keep the load of such a steering arrangement small. For this purpose, the steering unit (6) is made as an open-center steering unit, an inlet (20) of the steering valve (14) being connected to a pressure supply arrangement (22) that can be activated by an activation of the steering valve (14).Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss ApsInventors: Svend Erik Thomsen, Niels Bjarne Hansen

Patent number: 7631005Abstract: A solution is provided wherein multiple instances of source data measures are displayed in individual cells by utilizing a slicing mechanism that allows the user to select a range of values for certain dimensions known as slicers. The source data measures to be displayed in a cell may then be filtered using these ranges of values for the slicers, and then displayed inside the cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Hyperion Solutions CorporationInventor: Erik Thomsen

Patent number: 7610988Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering with a steering initiator, a steering unit with feedback properties, which can be activated by the steering initiator, the steering unit having a supply connection arrangement with a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T) and a working connection arrangement with two working connections (L, R), an auxiliary-force operated steering valve, which is located in parallel with the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R), and a feedback suppressing device, which is active, when the steering valve is active. It is endeavored to find a simple manner of ensuring the priority of the steering initiator over the steering valve. For this purpose, the steering initiator interacts with an activation sensor, which deactivates the feedback suppressing device on an activation of the steering initiator.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss ApsInventors: Bendt Porskrog, Kjeld Buus Jensen, Finn Visgaard Nielsen, Svend Erik Thomsen

Publication number: 20090138428Abstract: A solution is provided wherein the apparent dimensionality of a data set is reduced by ranking combinations of dimensions and parts of dimensions in terms of their suitability for mapping to the axes of a grid display. A user may then be presented with dense lower dimensional views of the data that are much easier to understand than sparse high dimensional views. The user may then make further refinements, groupings, and analyses as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2005Publication date: May 28, 2009Inventor: Erik Thomsen

Patent number: 7353744Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic control (1) with a supply connection arrangement (7) having a high-pressure connection (P) and a low-pressure connection (T), a working connection arrangement having two working connections (A, B) connectable with a consumer, a control valve (8) with a valve element (9) between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement and a compensation valve (11), which is located between the high-pressure connection (P) and the control valve (8) and is acted upon in the closing direction by a pressure between the compensation valve (11) and the control valve (8). It is endeavoured to ensure the most favourable energy consumption possible. For this purpose, in the opening direction the compensation valve (11) is acted upon by a pressure of a selection device (29, 30, 30?, 38), which optionally supplies the compensation valve (11) with a pressure control pressure or a flow control pressure.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss ApsInventors: Carl Christian Dixen, Knud Meldgaard Jensen, Steen Slot, Svend Giversen, Svend Erik Thomsen, Smari Johannsson

Publication number: 20070221436Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering (1) with a steering unit (2) with feedback behaviour, a steering motor (8) connected to the steering unit (2) via working pipes (L, R), a steering member (6) and a feedback suppression device (9), which is located in at least one working pipe (L, R). It is endeavoured to change the feedback behaviour of such a steering in a simple manner. For this purpose, the feedback suppression device (9) has a valve arrangement (10) with hydraulic control inlet (C).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2007Publication date: September 27, 2007Applicant: Sauer-Danfoss ApSInventors: Svend Erik Thomsen, Tom Rudolph, Poul Ennemark

Patent number: 6325170Abstract: A hydraulic vehicle drive, particularly for mobile hoisting platforms, has a first pair of wheels drivable by first wheel motors in dependence of a first control valve and a second pair of wheels provided with second hydraulic motors. A switching arrangement short-circuits the second hydraulic motors in the driving-free state and for cooling supplies them with a flushing flow. In the driven state a second control valve, in dependence of which the second hydraulic motors are drivable, is activated, and if required connected with the first control valve. Thus, optionally, the first wheel pair can be driven alone or together with a certain driving output from the second wheel pair.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1998Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignee: Danfoss Fluid Power A/SInventors: Jens S. Christensen, Svend Erik Thomsen

Patent number: 6065494Abstract: A hydraulic function-performing unit is described, having a main housing and at least one movable function-performing element, the position and/or movement of which in the main housing determines flow and/or pressure conditions and/or chamber volumes for hydraulic fluid, and having at last one sensor. It is desirable for the construction of such a function-performing unit to be simplified. To that end, the sensor is accommodated inside a sensor housing. The sensor housing and the main housing have adjoining interface faces and there is provided a transmission channel which is led through the interface face and connects a measuring point in the main housing to the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1996Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Danfoss A/SInventors: Svend Erik Thomsen, Finn Visgaard Nielsen, Poul Ennemark

Patent number: 4706467Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration unit of the type having a vessel for cooling water and a heat exchanger for the liquid to be cooled mounted in the vessel. Evaporator tubing is mounted on the inner wall of the vessel and a sensor mounted a predetermined distance from the tubing monitors the formation of an ice layer on the tubing. Control regulation which prevents both freezing and undesired heating of the cooling water is based on controlling the compressor providing first and second temperature ranges associated respectively with first and second sequentially generated time periods.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1986Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Assignee: Danfoss A/SInventors: Niels P. Thorsen, Gilbert W. Jessen, Erik Thomsen, Jens R. Sorensen
