Publication number: 20230003422Abstract: The present invention comprises an arrangement in a borehole. Such an arrangement comprises two tubes, an outer tube and an inner tube being arranged within each other having essentially parallel longitudinal axes. Said outer and inner tubes are connected to incoming and outgoing tubes respectively. The cross sectional area of the inner tube is less than half of the cross sectional area of the outer tube, whereby the outer tube and/or the incoming and outgoing tubes arranged in the borehole are insulated until they reach below a freezing depth of the surrounding media. Said the inner tube is also arranged to end before reaching the bottom end of the outer tube when inserted in the borehole, thus forming a fluid passage between the both tubes at the bottom end of said borehole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2019Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventor: Mats MANDERBACKA

Patent number: 6485397Abstract: The present invention relates to a brake arrangement (4) for a magnetic or an electric ergometer, e.g. an ergometer bike. The object of the invention is to provide an ergometer which is as user friendly as magnetic and electric ergometers, while the calibration of the ergometer is simplified considerably. The ergometer comprises a frame, a power transmission system (2) and a rotating member (3) which is driven by the power transmission system and is at least partially made of or coated with a conductive material or magnetic material a brake arrangement (4) is provided to adjust the rotation resistance of the rotating member, the arrangement consisting, according to the invention, of at least one magnetic brake member (8) which is at an adjustable distance from the rotating member. The brake member (8) has a fixed mass and is movable in a direction substantially parallel with, the cross-sectional plane of the rotating member (3) and parallel with the radius of the rotating member.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Inventor: Mats Manderbacka
