  • Patent number: 10618766
    Abstract: Gripping device adapted for gripping a stack of flat-folded cartons, where the gripping device comprises a first gripping jaw and a second gripping jaw arranged adjacent each other and enclosing a holding space, where the gripping device is provided with a first open state in which the distance between the gripping jaws is greater than the height of a flat-folded carton, and where the gripping device is provided with a second closed state in which the distance between the gripping jaws is less than the height of a flat-folded carton, and that the gripping device is adapted to displace one side of the stack of flat-folded cartons in a longitudinal direction, such that each flat-folded carton of the stack of flat-folded cartons will be held in an angled state by the gripping device. The advantage of the invention is that a stack of flat-folded cartons can be held in a secure way, where the height of the stack is reduced when the stack is held.

  • Patent number: 10221439
    Abstract: The invention relates to the in vitro and in cellulo detection of the cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Provided is a sensor molecule for fluorescence- or luminescence-based detection of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analyte, in particular for detecting the concentrations of NAD+, NADP+ and/or the ratios of the concentrations of NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH, the sensor comprising (i) a binding protein (BP) for the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analyte, the BP being derived from sepiapterin reductase (SPR; EC 1.1.1.153) (ii) an SPR ligand (SPR-L) capable of intramolecular binding to said BP in the presence of the oxidized form of said analyte; and (iii) at least one fluorophore.

  • Patent number: 7870944
    Abstract: Embodiments include a method or a device for a cartoning machine for transferring a leaflet from a first transportation device to a leaflet holder in a second transportation device. Embodiments include a transferring device which is arranged to straighten up and position the leaflets in such a way that the leaflet holders can take hold of the leaflets. The transferring device has a base surface with one or more carriers placed in a line at right angels to the direction of transportation, so that the leaflet, as a result of being able to slide against the base surface, is pressed back against the carriers as a result of air resistance friction against an adjacent cover plate and/or centripetal forces. The base surface of the transferring device is preferably provided with several lines of carriers which are adjusted to match the distance between the leaflet holders on the second transportation device.

  • Publication number: 20080016823
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for a cartoning machine for transferring an leaflet from a first transportation device to an leaflet holder comprised in a second transportation device. The machine comprises a transferring device which is arranged to straighten up and position the leaflets in such a way that the leaflet holders can take hold of the leaflets without them ending up askew. The transferring device has a base surface with one or more carriers placed in a line at right angles to the direction of transportation, so that the leaflet, as a result of being able to slide against the base surface, is pressed back against the carriers as a result of air resistance, friction against an adjacent cover plate and/or centripetal forces. The base surface of the transferring device is preferably provided with several lines of carriers which are adjusted to match the distance between the leaflet holders on the second transportation device.
