  • Patent number: 11921071
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for inspecting quality and/or condition of an elongated composite member, which is a load bearing member of a rope of a hoisting apparatus, such as an elevator, or a precursor of such a load bearing member, the method comprising providing an elongated composite member; and changing the temperature of said elongated composite member by heating or cooling said elongated composite member via a flank thereof; and scanning said elongated composite member from a lateral side thereof with a thermal imaging device after said changing of the temperature; and creating thermographic images of said elongated composite member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11283164
    Abstract: Invention relates to a radome casing and method for its manufacturing. The radome casing comprises walls (6, 11) of composite material which includes reinforcement fibers (8) and matrix resin (19) binding the fibers together. The walls include a radiation transmission window (11) through which the radiation of a radome antenna passes when the radome antenna (2) is mounted inside the radome casing (1). The amount of fibers in the radiation transmission window (11) is reduced to be less than 40-5% of the amount of fibers elsewhere in the casing walls (6). The reduction of reinforcement fibers in the radiation transmission window (11) reduces attenuation of the high frequency radiation.

  • Patent number: 10369761
    Abstract: Control equipment for the manufacture of corrugated cardboard. The manufacturing equipment includes a gluing unit, a sensor arrangement and actuator equipment. The actuator equipment is adapted to adjust the moisture on a first surface of a liner on the basis of measurements taken by the sensor arrangement for gluing the liner by its first surface to a fluting paper.
