  • Publication number: 20220203441
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a pipe for a pipeline, wherein at least part of the pipe is manufactured by additive manufacturing process, wherein at least one space for an ultrasonic transducer is formed inside the material of the pipe during the additive manufacturing process. The additive manufacturing process is interrupted before the space in closed, and the ultrasonic transducer is inserted in the open space, and the additive manufacturing process for manufacturing the pipe is continued. The invention also relates to such a pipe.

  • Patent number: 9382436
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for modification of the surface of a body, especially a film-shaped body, wherein a fiber-containing substance comprising nano-sized polysaccharide fiber particles is dispersed in a medium essentially composed of water and a polar solvent to form a suspension. The suspension is applied on the surface by a printing method. According to the invention, the viscosity of the suspension is adjusted to a range that is suitable for the printing method by adjusting the fiber concentration of the suspension. The invention concerns also a composition disposable onto the surface of a body, such as a film-shaped body, by a non-contact inkjet printing method. According to the invention, the composition comprises nanocellulose fibers suspended in a medium essentially composed of water and a polar solvent, miscible with water, wherein the concentration of nanocellulose fibers is 0.5 to 1.5%, preferably 0.5 to 1%, most preferably about 0.7% of said composition.
