Patent number: 8810054Abstract: The invention relates to a wave-power unit for the production of electric power. It comprises a floating body (1) arranged for floating on the sea and an electric linear generator (2) having a stator (5) and a translator (8) reciprocating along a center axis. The stator (5) is arranged to be anchored in the bed of the sea and the translator (8) is connected to the floating body (1) by connection means (3, 7). According to the invention the generator (2) is enclosed in a water-tight encapsulation (4) having an upper end wall with an opening through which the connection means (7) extends. The opening has a seal (12) that seals against the connection means (7). The seal (12) is flexibly mounted.

Patent number: 8471398Abstract: The invention relates to a wave-power unit for the production of electric power. It comprises a floating body arranged for floating on the sea and an electric linear generator with a stator (5) and a reciprocating translator (6). The stator (5) is arranged to be anchored in the bed of a sea and the translator (6) is connected to the floating body by connection means, The translator (6) is journalled in a plurality of roiling elements (15) such that a circumferential gap (14) is formed between the stator and the translator. According to the invention each rolling element (15) has an elasticity that is low enough to meet the condition that a change in the width (d) of the gap results in a change in the total force from the roiling elements (15) that is larger than the total magnet forces on the translator resulting from the change in width (d). The invention also relates to a use of the invented wave-power unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Seabased ABInventors: Mats Leijon, Stefan Gustafsson

Patent number: 8437783Abstract: A Location Server receives requests for subscribers that are within an Alert Area to enable notifications/alerts to be sent to the subscribers from an Alert Application. The Location Server extracts the location information by performing a search in a Database for subscribers that are located in the Alert Area. The quality of the locations in the database is dependent of the frequency with which a Core Network sends passive location data to the Location Server at network events when the Mobile Station is in contact with the network. The Location Server reconfigures the Core Network and Radio Access Network to send the information when it is needed. An advantage of the invention is that it is possible to provide services that require knowing which subscribers are currently located in a specific area in a flexible way without over loading the mobile network.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2007Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventor: Stefan Gustafsson
