Abstract: A cutting tool includes a substrate on which at least on the functioning parts of the surface thereof a thin, adherent, hard and wear resistant coating is applied, wherein the coating includes a laminated multilayer of alternating PVD or PECVD metal oxide layers, Me1X+Me2X+Me1X+Me2X . . . , where at least one of Me1X and Me2X is a metal oxide+metal oxide nano-composite layer composed of two components, wherein the layers Me1X and Me2X are different in composition or structure, the laminated multilayer layer has a compositional gradient, with regards to a concentration, in a direction from an outer surface of the coating towards the substrate, the gradient being such that a difference between an average concentration of an outermost portion of the multilayer and an average concentration of an innermost portion of the multilayer is at least about 5 at-% in absolute units.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cutting tool insert for metal machining on which at least on the functioning parts of the surface thereof a thin, adherent, hard and wear resistant coating is applied. The coating comprises a metal oxide/oxide composite layer consisting of two components with a grain size of from about 1 to about 100 nm. The oxide layer is under a compressive stress.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring tension or a tension alteration in a paper web. At least one measurement device includes a number of measurement bodies and a number of fluid supply devices, which are intended to apply a fluid pressure to the web. The fluid supply devices are so arranged as to subject the web to an essentially constant fluid pressure in order to provide a fluid cushion between the web and the measurement bodies. The measurement bodies are so arranged as to apply pressure to the web without making contact and are so arranged to be capable of displacement. The position of the measurement bodies in the normal direction of the web is altered depending upon variations in the constitution of the web. A method for measuring web tension and a machine including apparatus for measuring web tension are also disclosed.

Abstract: An element for making an electric contact to a contact member for enabling an electric current to flow between the element and the contact member. The element includes a body having at least a contact surface thereof coated with a contact layer applied against the contact member. The contact layer includes a film including a multielement material with equal or similar composition as any of a layered carbide or nitride that can be described as Mn+1AXn, where M is a transition metal or a combination of a transition metals, n is 1, 2, 3 or higher, A is an group A element or a combination of a group A element, element and X is Carbon, Nitrogen or both.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roll stand (1) for a continuous unrolling of several rolls (8, 8?) of reeled, web-like material, which are unrolled consecutively after each other in the roll stand, and which rolls are arranged to be changed by roll changing from an almost depleted roll (8?) to a new, full roll (8) in said roll stand, which roll stand comprises a machine stand (2) with two gable sides (3, 4), which are arranged aloof from each other, a horizontally arranged hub girder (9) which is rotatably journalled at the gable sides and around which hub girder the rolls are arranged to be pivoted between an inlet side (6), to which new, full rolls (8) are delivered, and an outlet side (7) from which the web-like material is unrolled, at least two roll holders (10, 10?) which are arranged at the hub girder for handling of each roll and which roll holders each comprises two roll holding arms (11) which are mounted linearly displaceable laterally along one or several, axially along the hub girder and rigidity moun

Abstract: A roll stand with a frame, a holder arm arranged in the frame, a shaft for the holder, a holder, a motor, and a transmission agent. The transmission agent includes a first and second toothed wheel mounted on an incoming shaft, which is arranged to be driven by the motor, a third toothed wheel and a fifth toothed wheel are arranged on the shaft for the holder, freewheel hubs are arranged at the shaft for the holder between the third and the fifth toothed wheel. The freewheel hubs are capable of locking a toothed wheel in one direction of rotation. Due to the arrangement of the toothed wheels, a first and second drive path is formed so that the transmission agent is capable of achieving two gear changes on an outgoing shaft, depending on the direction of rotation of the motor.
