  • Patent number: 12104563
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air cleaner housing for a vehicle, comprising an outer and an inner circumferential wall, and a space therebetween adapted to house at least one filter element for filtering air, wherein the inner circumferential wall is provided with openings to allow filtered air to pass radially inwardly through the inner circumferential wall. The air cleaner housing comprises a first end and an open second end for fluidly connecting the air cleaner housing to a turbo, the open second end being located opposite the first end. The air cleaner housing comprises a resonator, wherein the entire resonator is encircled by the inner circumferential wall such that air entering through the inner circumferential wall passes on the outside of the resonator to and through the open second end.

  • Patent number: 8387524
    Abstract: A method for locally increasing pressing pressure on a press tool having an abutment surface for being clamped onto a clamping surface in a press comprises providing a power unit smaller than the abutment surface and having an internal space, positioning the power unit between the clamping surface and the abutment surface, pressing the clamping surface against the abutment surface, connecting the internal space to a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid, and supplying the pressurized hydraulic fluid to the internal space thereby causing the power unit to expand and to exert a local pressure on the abutment surface.

  • Patent number: 8342085
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8316873
    Abstract: 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.
