  • Patent number: 9927271
    Abstract: A system or a method for measuring flow of fluid or gas, has a flow duct with at least two transducers which generate at least one beam of ultrasound in the flow duct in which ultrasound transducers are placed in a fixed positions in a duct for flowing air where the electronic device for analyzing signal from the transducers is performed in a handheld device. A transmitter circuit is permanently connected to the transducers and a receiver circuit is placed in a handheld device. The transmitter circuit has calibration data representing the actual placement of the transducers in relation to the actual duct, which calibration data is communicated by every connection to the receiver circuit. Hereby can be achieved that transducers can be permanently placed in ventilation ducts in buildings, where placement of ultrasound transducers for measurement and for calibration of measurement of an air stream is nearly impossible.

  • Patent number: 9335194
    Abstract: A system or a method for measuring flow in a flow duct has at least two ultra sound transducers. The flow of air in a duct is measured by one or more transducers transmitting beams of ultra sound controlled by a microcontroller based electronic system in which the microcontroller stores a vector of data samples for each direction of transmission, which vector includes an appropriate number of N samples forming a frame, the microcontroller multiplying each value of the frame which a complex number. Based on the result, the microcontroller calculates the flow in the duct. As a result, an efficient flow measurement of air flowing in a duct can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 6073977
    Abstract: A device for coupling two pipe sections comprises a clamping band of U-shaped cross-section with two inwardly directed flanges for encompassing end beads of the pipe sections which are to be coupled. The ends of the clamping band have cylindrical pockets each accommodating a cylindrical element which is rotatable about its own axis in the pocket. The clamping band is clamped by means of a threaded screw which is passed through an unthreaded hole in one cylindrical element and unthreaded holes in the ends of the clamping band, whereupon the screw is in threaded engagement with the other cylindrical element.
