  • Patent number: 8566557
    Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for storing initial data from an image detecting device in a camera system initial storage medium and making the data accessible. The initial data is stored consecutively in blocks, where file specific pointers representing the starting address for each stored file and file sequence, and dynamic memory pointers that points out the next writable address, are managed and stored during real time writing of the data. The data is made accessible through a virtual representation of the data in a virtual file system with a format known by an external storage medium controller, the virtual representation being related to the file specific pointers.

  • Patent number: 8543288
    Abstract: A diagnostic method for an exhaust pressure regulator provided in an exhaust system connected to a turbocharged internal combustion engine includes demanding engine brake, measuring a back pressure in the exhaust system by a back pressure sensor provided between the exhaust pressure regulator and a turbo unit when demanding engine brake, measuring the boost pressure by a boost pressure sensor provided in the inlet manifold when demanding engine brake, comparing the measured back pressure and the measured boost pressure with stored back pressure and boost pressure values in order to determine whether there is a defective pressure regulator or a defective backpressure sensor. A diagnostic apparatus for an exhaust pressure regulator provided in an exhaust system connected to a turbocharged internal combustion engine is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8352165
    Abstract: A method and system for operating a combustion engine brake especially for a heavy vehicle like a truck or a bus is disclosed. By detecting a brake torque value which is delivered by the combustion engine brake for braking the vehicle, and, if the amount of the difference between a demanded brake torque value and the delivered brake torque value exceeds a predetermined first limit value, by operating the combustion engine brake by means of at least one additional or alternative second operating parameter which is selected in order to create a corrected brake torque value, a considerably improved accuracy, efficiency and/or reliability of the combustion engine brake can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 8297242
    Abstract: In an exhaust valve mechanism for an internal combustion engine the main rocker arm is mounted on a rocker arm shaft for normal valve operation via a cam element. A secondary rocker arm is mounted on the shaft for activation of an exhaust brake mode. The activation is achieved through supply of hydraulic pressure to a piston cylinder arrangement acting between the main and secondary rocker arms. A master piston and a slave piston are connected by a hydraulic-link allowing activation by increased hydraulic pressure. When activating the exhaust gas temperature increasing mode, the master piston is moved to an active position for part of its stroke against the force of a first resilient member. When activating the exhaust brake mode, the master piston is moved the full movement of its stroke against the combined forces of the first resilient member and a second resilient member as active position.

  • Patent number: 7240491
    Abstract: Method and arrangement for a turbocompound type internal combustion engine including an exhaust system for ducting the engine's exhaust gases. A supercharger turbine drives a compressor for the engine's combustion air, and an exhaust turbine is placed in the exhaust system downstream of the supercharger turbine for extracting residual energy from the exhaust flow via transmission to the combustion engine's crankshaft. The exhaust system also has an exhaust braking throttle placed downstream of the exhaust turbine. The exhaust braking throttle includes a pressure-controlled exhaust pressure regulator that makes possible variable regulation of an exhaust braking pressure in at least two steps.

  • Patent number: 7051882
    Abstract: A twin-wire belt press is disclosed for dewatering a fiber suspension and forming a continuous web of the fiber suspension. The twin wire belt includes a plurality of upper and lower rolls, a perforated roll and endless upper and lower wire belts. Dewatering tables are used to support the endless upper and lower wire belts and form a wedge-shaped pressure space between the endless upper and lower wire belts for initially pressing and dewatering the fiber suspension and forming a web therebetween. Roll members, including at least two press rolls which form press roll nips with the perforated roll and another roll, press and dewater the web between the endless upper and lower wire belts.

  • Patent number: 6792904
    Abstract: Method and arrangement for engine breaking in motor vehicles having an internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, at least one exhaust valve at the cylinder and a rocker arm (4) for activation of the exhaust valve. The rocker arm (4) is arranged on a hollow rocker arm shaft (5) and arranged to be effected by ridges (2a, 2b, 2c) on a camshaft (2), the device additionally having a control valve (15, 16) for controlling the oil pressure in the rocker arm shaft (5), and means (6; 14) receptive to an increase of the oil pressure in the rocker arm shaft (5) being integrated in the rocker arm (4) for absorbing a play between the rocker arm (4) and the exhaust valve in the case of increase oil pressure. At least one of the ridges (2b, 2c) causes opening of the exhaust valve with an engine breaking effect.
