Abstract: A robotic work tool (100) comprising a controller (110), the controller (110) being configured to determine that an area, where there is an increased risk of impact to a surface travelled, is entered by the robotic work tool (100); and in response thereto reduce an acceleration utilized by the robotic work tool (100).

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for aligning, feeding, trimming, slitting, rotating, cross-slitting and stacking sheets, each containing one or more discrete page images thereon that allows for greater automation of the overall process so that reduced or no manual intervention is required to generate completed book stacks or “blocks” from a stream or stack of printed sheets. Sheets are fed to a first, upstream trimming station to remove margin edges and optionally separate the sheets relative to the discrete page images. The sheets are then rotated 90 degrees and fed to a second, downstream trimming station that trims the right-angle edges and optionally separates the sheets into a final group of full-bleed pages, removing margins and gutter strips. The sheets are fed to a stacking assembly to be tacked in page order and any rejected, defective sheets or stacks are removed from the order.

Abstract: A folding device (100) for folding a paper web (102) in the longitudinal direction includes a first rolling device (104) adapted to receiving the paper web from a supplying device (110). A fold-creating means (106) is adapted to create at least one fold along the paper web. A fold-pressing means (108) is adapted to press together portions of the paper web which are separated by the fold. A second rolling device (109) is adapted to receive and guide the folded paper web out from the folding device to a receiving device (112). At least a first and a second motor (114, 116) are connected to a control unit and are adapted to drive the paper web through the folding device and to maintain a predetermined tension in the paper web.

Abstract: An arrangement in a hydraulically operated crane of the type having a supporting crane section and a movable crane arm system supported thereby and comprising support and guide means, telescopically extendable boom means including a first boom movably supported and guided by the support and guide means and a second boom supported by and telescopically movable in relation to the first boom; and drive means for moving the first boom in relation to the support and guide means and for moving the second boom in relation to the first boom; the drive means comprising an elongated flexible drive transmission means fixed to the support and guide means and extending into the first hollow boom through one end thereof and fixed to the second boom, the flexible transmission means being arranged such that a movement of the first boom in relation to the support and guide means will be transmitted by the flexible transmission means to the second boom for moving the latter in relation to the first boom a distance equal to the
