  • Patent number: 9757048
    Abstract: An implantable system includes terminals, a pulse generator, a sensing circuit, separate signal processing channels, and first, second and third multiplexers. The terminals are connected to electrodes via conductors of leads. Different subsets of the electrodes are used to define different electrical pulse delivery vectors, and different subsets of the electrodes are used to define different sensing vectors. The pulse generator produces electrical pulses, and the sensing circuit senses a signal indicative of an impedance associated with a selected sensing vector. The first multiplexer selectively connects outputs of the pulse generator to a selected one of the different electrical pulse delivery vectors at a time. The second multiplexer selectively connect inputs of the sensing circuit to a selected one of the different sensing vectors at a time. The third multiplexer selectively connects an output of the sensing circuit to one of the plurality of separate signal processing channels at a time.

  • Publication number: 20100314466
    Abstract: A thermal spraying device includes an arrangement for generating a flame and an arrangement for injecting a powder into the flame, the flame-generating means including an end piece out of an outlet of which the flame is directed towards a substrate subjected to spraying, and the powder-injection arrangement includes a frame element that projects in the flame ejection direction from the end piece, that at least partly surrounds a flame zone extending from the end piece, and that presents an inner circumference that is larger than the inner circumference of the outlet, and at least one powder port for the introduction of a powder to the flame being arranged on the inner periphery of the frame element at a distance from the outlet of the end piece as seen in the flame ejection direction. There is provided at least one gas injection opening in the frame element, the gas injection opening being located between the outlet of the end piece and the at least one powder port as seen in the flame ejection direction.

  • Patent number: 7557324
    Abstract: A thermal spraying method and device that includes a device (1,2) which generates a flame and a device (3) which injects a powder into the flame. The flame-generating device (1,2) includes an end piece (1) out of which the flame is directed towards a substrate subjected to spraying. The powder-injection device (3) includes a frame element (6) that is adapted to be attached to the end piece (1) and to project in the flame ejection direction from the end piece (1). The frame element (6) has a plurality of through-holes (9) extending through it and distributed circumferentially about the frame element (6) as well as at least two powder injection ports distributed about the frame element (6).

  • Patent number: 6848253
    Abstract: Method to control the lowering movement of the lifting cylinder or cylinders (1, 2) of a truck. When a lowering is to take place the pump (5) is started in the pumping direction for increasing the pressure between the pump and a loadholding valve (3, 4) until essentially the pressure has been achieved as in the hydraulic cylinder (1, 2), whereafter the pump with its motor is switched over to regenerative operation, that is the pump works as motor and the motor as generator. The holding valve (3, 4) is opened so that the oil while driving the pump can flow back through this.

  • Patent number: 6312231
    Abstract: In an axial piston pump having an oblique disk, the axial piston pump includes a piston drum with pistons disposed therein that are displaceable by way of a holder that runs along the oblique disk. The angle of engagement of the oblique disk can be increased. On the outer side of a spherical adjustment surface provided on a component of a shaft, there are at least two glide blocks that are rotatable about a rotational mount and that exhibit an axial extent with respect to the drive shaft axis. For the purpose of transmitting torque from the drive shaft to a holder, the glide blocks are engaged with grooves that are provided in the holder, and in particular in the wall of the holder that circumscribes a receiving bore of the holder.
