  • Patent number: 11977179
    Abstract: A method of detecting leakage, comprising the steps of: performing a sequence of monitoring operations; and providing, when it is determined that leakage is present, a signal indicative of detected leakage. Each monitoring operation includes the steps of: generating a transmit signal exhibiting a time-varying frequency; receiving a reflection signal resulting from reflection of the transmit signal at the surface; forming an intermediate frequency signal for the present monitoring operation based on the transmit signal and the reflection signal; determining a phase of the intermediate frequency signal for the present monitoring operation; determining, based on the phase for the present monitoring operation and the phase associated with at least one previous monitoring operation, a measure indicative of a present rate of change of the phase; comparing the measure with a predefined threshold value; and determining a presence of leakage based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20240100735
    Abstract: A bottle forming unit and method for dry-forming a cellulose bottle from an air-formed cellulose blank structure in a bottle forming unit. The dry-formed cellulose bottle comprises a neck portion, a closed bottom portion, and a mid-portion arranged between the closed bottom portion and the neck portion. The mid-portion is arranged in fluid communication with the neck portion. The dry-formed cellulose blank structure is shaped into a shaped cellulose blank structure, where the shaped cellulose blank structure has a tube-like configuration with an inner surface and an outer surface. A first section of the shaped cellulose blank structure is fed to a first forming mould and a semi-closed bottom portion of the cellulose bottle is formed from the first section in the first forming mould, simultaneously with forming the neck portion of a directly preceding cellulose bottle from the first section in the first forming mould.
