Patent number: 8777887Abstract: In a hemodiafiltration apparatus, a membrane device (2) comprises a blood chamber (3) and a fluid chamber (4) separated by a semipermeable membrane (5). A grounding device (17) is connected to the discharge line by means of a tubular connector (16) made of an electrically-conductive plastic material. The grounding device can disconnect the grounding connection if the leakage current measured on a patient (1) connected to the apparatus exceeds a predetermined value. The apparatus can be classified as Cardiac Floating and, at the same time, causes no disturbances to an electrocardiograph connected to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Gambro Lundia ABInventors: Lars Jönsson, Riccardo Pellegrini, Andrea Ligabue

Patent number: 8367951Abstract: A retrofit diverter switch which has a mechanical and electrical interface that is compatible with the existing designs is provided. The diverter switch may include a vacuum switch. The feature where the mechanical and electrical interface is compatible enables a retrofit from traditional On Load Tap Changers to a vacuum based on Load Tap Changers. The diverter switch may be retrofitted into existing tap changer housings. Retrofitting from traditional to vacuum based, traditional to vacuum based and up rating, and vacuum up rating may be possible. Also, the diverter switch may include modular components that allow for easy customization of the diverter switch for different applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: ABB Technology Ltd.Inventors: Petter Nilsson, Robert L.

Patent number: 8286683Abstract: Device for automatically separating the tire and the rim in a vehicle wheel. The feed-in device feeds in vehicle wheels and a press-in device is located in an inactive position at a distance from the rim edge and is shifted to an active position. Press-in members are adjusted in the direction of the rim in order to press in the rim edge, whereafter the rim can be pressed out. The press-in device with a number of press-in elements forms a unit, which is movably suspended from a frame in which the wheel is placed in position to separate the tire and the rim. Feed-out devices feed out the separated rims to a first collection point and the separated tires to a second collection point.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2008Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Tyre Save Sweden ABInventor: Lars Jönsson
