Patent number: 8342085Abstract: An apparatus is provided for compensating for such deformations as occur in operation in first and second clamping surfaces intended for a tool in a press. The clamping surfaces are reciprocally moveable towards and away from one another in order to move a first and second part of the tool towards and away from one another, and the first and second tool parts have a first and second abutment surface for abutment against the first and second clamping surfaces and the deformations cause uneven pressure in at least one contact region between the tool and the clamping surfaces. According to the present invention, there is disposed, in at least one contact region between a clamping surface and an abutment surface, a power unit which, on activation, is operative to press, away from the clamping surface located in the contact region at least a part of the abutment surface of the tool located there.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Automation Presses Tooling AP&T ABInventors: Mikael Karlsson, Bengt Walkin

Patent number: 8316873Abstract: A single use valve (10) comprises a plate (12) having an internal filter structure (28). A sealing substance (20) covers an inlet (14) to the filter structure (28). A heater arrangement (16) is arranged at the plate (12) in the vicinity of the sealing substance (20) for converting electrical current into heat and thereby melting or evaporating the sealing substance (20). The heater arrangement (16) conducts at least a part of the current, and preferably the entire current, along a conduction path not including the sealing substance (20). The melting of the sealing substance (20) thereby becomes independent on the existence of a complete electrical connection through the sealing substance (20). The heater arrangement (16) has therefore preferably its main heat emission in an area surrounding the sealing substance (20). The sealing substance (20) can be of any non-porous material.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: NanoSpace ABInventors: Johan Bejhed, Mikael Karlsson
