  • Patent number: 11221628
    Abstract: A robotic work tool (100) comprising a controller (110) and at least one magnetic sensor (170) arranged to sense a magnetic boundary signal emitted by a boundary wire, and a first magnetic guide signal emitted by a first guide wire (261), wherein the controller (110) is configured to: detect an at least partial crossing of the first guide wire (261) from a first work zone to a second work zone, determine an operating status and if the operating status indicates that a crossing is allowed, allow the robotic work tool to cross the first guide wire (261) to the second work zone, and if not, control the operation of the robotic work tool so that the first guide wire (261) is not crossed.

  • Patent number: 10180950
    Abstract: A method and an image processing system of processing thermal images captured using a thermal imaging system. The processing comprises determining a reference image depicting a scene and retrieving, from a number of thermal images comprised in a data storage, a set of one or more thermal images based on a predetermined similarity measure. A measurement location in the reference image is determined, and for each of the one or more retrieved thermal images: a corresponding measurement location in the respective retrieved thermal image is determined; and a thermographic tool is placed on the corresponding measurement location in the respective retrieved thermal image.

  • Patent number: 7267139
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve device comprising a valve housing (2) with a first and a second flow channel (3a, 3b), and a first and second damper shaft (8a, 8b), which are rotatable relative to the valve housing (2). A first damper (7a) is arranged in the first flow channel (3a) fixed to the first damper shaft (8a) and a second damper (7b) is arranged in the second flow channel (3b) fixed to the second damper shaft (8b). A rotatable regulating member (13) is arranged to control the rotational position of the damper shafts (8a, 8b) via two motion transfer members (20a, 20b), the respective motion transfer member (20a, 20b) being in engagement with a guiding (21) of the regulating member (13) so that the rotational position of the motion transfer member and thereby the rotational position of the associated damper shaft (8a, 8b) is controlled by the rotational position of the regulating member via this guiding (21).
