Patent number: 9518500Abstract: An arrangement for fitting an exhaust cleaning unit (2) in an exhaust passage (1b): An annular resilient component (7) is fitted around the exhaust cleaning unit (2) at a distance from a gasket (5). The annular resilient component (7) has a first contact portion (7a) which comes into contact with a wall surface (3) of the exhaust cleaning unit (2) and a second contact portion (7b) which comes into contact with a wall surface (1b) of the exhaust passage when the exhaust cleaning unit (2) is in a fitted state in the exhaust passage. The annular resilient component (7) keeps the exhaust cleaning unit (2) in a centered position in the exhaust passage with a spring force.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: SCANIA CV ABInventors: Ragnar Bucksch, Göran Granqvist

Patent number: 8889219Abstract: In a method for manufacturing of thermochromic material, a target increased luminous transmittance level for the thermochromic material is determined (210). The luminous transmittance level is defined within a predetermined wavelength region. Preferably, this predetermined wavelength region at least partly comprises visible light. A concentration level of a first dopant element is determined (212) for generating the luminous transmittance level of the thermochromic material. The first dopant element is capable of forming an oxide having a high bandgap in its electronic structure, and in a specific embodiment is Al and/or Mg. A VO2-based thermochromic material is doped (214) with the determined concentration level of the first dopant element. At least one second dopant may also be employed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Chromogenics ABInventors: Claes Göran Granqvist, Gunnar A.
