  • Patent number: 7318883
    Abstract: The invention concerns an equipment and a method in a paper or board machine for mixing fresh stock (M) with water (V) used for dilution of the fresh stock. At the point of mixing (K) of the dilution water (V) and the fresh stock (M) passed from the pipe (13), there is at least one such pipe portion as comprises a wave-shaped form in its connection in the cross section of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 7027834
    Abstract: A mobile phone has various components, including a housing and a battery, and an accelerated ambient temperature measurement module for measuring the ambient temperature of the environment surrounding the user equipment based on the temperature of at least one point in the mobile phone. The at least one point may include one or more points in relation to one or more of the various components. The accelerated ambient temperature measurement module measures the accelerated ambient temperature based on the temperature of the housing or the battery. The mobile phone has a resistor arranged in relation to either the housing or battery, and the accelerated ambient temperature measurement module determines the accelerated ambient temperature based on certain equations.

  • Patent number: 6740198
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of mixing pulp components in the manufacture of paper, in which method the pulp components to be mixed are led to a mixing point along tubes arranged inside each other. The pulp component flows are mixed by generating turbulence in them by means of the end of an inner tube, the cross-section of which end is wave-like. This turbulence is guided and its effect is intensified by means of form parts in connection with the mixing point, which form parts are arranged on the inner surface of the outer tube. Further, the invention relates to an arrangement implementing the mixing of pulp components in accordance with the method.

  • Patent number: 6679974
    Abstract: In a paper machine headbox, a stock suspension flow passes through turbulence pipes (14an) and is distributed into superimposed layers. Stepped expansion spots (16) of the flow cross-section area of the turbulence pipes (14) or the positions of trailing elements starting from between the pipe rows (Rn) and extending to the slice duct (12) of the headbox control the onset and level of turbulence in each layer. Turbulence is generated in different phases of the flow in different layers by arranging the expansion spots (16) and/or the trailing elements in superimposed layers to be located at different distances from the slice opening (13) of the headbox, whereby a different turbulence prevails at the slice opening (13) in different layers of the stock suspension flow.

  • Patent number: 6464835
    Abstract: The invention concerns an equipment and a method in a twin-wire former, in which a partly pre-drained or non-drained fiber stock is passed to between the forming wires of the web former in the vicinity of the former roll (11) or of a water drain box, in which connection water is drained out of the stock web by means of the former roll (11) or the water drain box. The twin-wire former comprises a rib (20) in connection with the former roll (11) or the water drain box in the lateral area of the wires (H2), which rib has been fitted to control the running of the second forming wire H2) passed from the gap roll. By means of the rib (20), in the lateral area of the wire runs, the point at which said forming wire (H2) reaches contact with the first forming wire in connection with the former roll (11) or the water drain box is shifted further away in the machine direction. The rib (20) is an oblong structure, which has a maximal height (Hmax) in the middle area of the rib (20).
