  • Publication number: 20210339721
    Abstract: This invention relates to off-road work machines and to controlling the brakes of an off-road work machine and particularly to an arrangement and a method for controlling the working brakes of a hydraulic or electric work machine. It is characteristic of a method according to the invention for controlling the brakes, preferably the working brakes, of a hydraulic or electric work machine (10), (50), in which the hydraulic or electric work machine (10), (50) comprises one or more frame parts (11), (12), (51), (52) and a moving means (13), (53) that the method comprises the steps of: detecting (31), (41) a driver's control action for starting the motion of the hydraulic or electric work machine (10), (50), keeping (32), (42) the brakes of the hydraulic or electric work machine (10), (50) applied and releasing (35), (45) the brakes of the hydraulic or electric work machine (10), (50) when said measured (33), (43) torque value exceeds a predetermined calculatory torque value.

  • Publication number: 20210324998
    Abstract: A control arrangement (20) comprises at least one sensor (7). The sensor (7) is adapted to detect at least one object (9) in an area of at least one predefined sector (10) focused in an area between a control cabin (5) and a boom end (11), and to detect at least one of the following: location information of said detected object at two different time instants, at least, and the speed of said detected object The control arrangement (20) additionally comprises at least one control unit (8) adapted to determine at least the direction of travel of said detected object (9) in relation to the control cabin at two different time instants, at least, on the basis of the detected location information and/or the detected speed of the object (9), and cause a change in the control of a forest machine in response to the detected direction of movement of the detected object (9) being directed towards the control cabin in the area of the sector (10).

  • Patent number: 6037184
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for taking a sample from a flowing suspension formed by polymer particles and hydrocarbon diluent in a olefin polymerization process including at least one filter situated at a plane of an inside surface of a transfer conduit between reactors. Each filter includes perforations or pores having a size to prevent substantially any of the catalyst used in the polymerization process from passing through the filter, e.g., smaller than the smallest particle size of a catalyst used in the polymerization process. The pore or perforation size of each filter is preferably 0.1-10 .mu.m, preferably between 0.2-1 .mu.m. A pressure difference permits at least partial vaporization of the sample as it passes through the filter.
