  • Patent number: 11232660
    Abstract: It is provided a method for providing access to a physical space secured by a lock for provision of a service. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an approval signal from a service consumer device of the service consumer, the approval signal indicating that the service consumer allows a service provider agent of a service provider to open the lock; receiving, from the service provider device, a request to assign a service provider agent to open the lock; communicating with the service provider device to use a private key of a cryptographic key pair accessible to the service provider device, the private key being used to generate service agent access data that is specific for the service provider agent, to allow the service provider agent to open the lock; and transmitting the service agent access data to a service provider agent device associated with the service provider agent.

  • Patent number: 7040315
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (200) for anaesthetising a living creature (V) and for maintaining said creature in an anaesthetised state, by administering thereto an infused volume of anaesthesia inducing pharmaceutical (22) in liquid phase per unit of time, with the aid of one or more lung ventilator units (A) and one or more infusion units (B). Chosen parts of the lung ventilator unit, with the exception of external insufflation hose, expiration valve, measuring probe and a number of hoses (12), and selected parts of the infusion unit (B), with the exception of cannula (5B) and hose (4B) are mutually combined to form a single equipment unit (201). Some of the parts of the equipment unit are mutually coordinated with respect to communication via a computer unit (600) included in the equipment unit, and the computer unit is adapted to monitor unit related criteria and creature related criteria.

  • Patent number: 6899136
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mixing valve that can be included in pulmonary respiration equipment and with which oxygen (2) and air (3) can be mixed in adapted proportions. The mixing valve (1) comprises a valve housing (40) that has an internal cavity (46), which forms two mutually opposing valve seats (10d, 20d). The cavity (46) encloses an element (30) on which two valve bodies (10c, 20c) are formed. The cavity wall and the element have respective screw threads (46c? and 30c?) which enable two valve means (10, 20) to be actuated so as to open one of said valve means and close the other to passage of media therethrough. The mixing valve is of simple construction and precise in operation and can be constructed with small outer dimensions.

  • Patent number: 6851426
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in ventilatory treatment of the lungs of a living creature (2) under anaesthesia, comprising valve equipment (4) devised for carrying an insufflation gas and/or an insufflation gas mixture from a unit for pulmonary ventilation (3) into the lungs and airways (2a) of the living creature and permitting expiration of gas and/or gas mixture held in the airways and gas measurement equipment (6) in the sensor unit (61, 62, 63). The said valve equipment (4) and a combination of the said sensor units (61, 62, 63) are arrayed close together. They are connected to an end section of a bundle of hoses (30) from the unit for pulmonary ventilation, and the said sensor units are located closer to the living creature (2) than the said valve equipment (4).

  • Patent number: 6360715
    Abstract: A combustion system for engines having at least one cylinder (10). The system may e.g. consist of an exhaust duct, an intake duct (20a), a cylinder chamber (30), a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder chamber (30), a piston (40) performing a reciprocating motion in the cylinder chamber (30), and a valve (70) for intake and one for exhaust. The intake duct (20a) is connected to the cylinder chamber (30) and said intake valve (70) is operative to open and close, respectively, the connection between the intake duct (20a) and the cylinder chamber (30). The crown (60) of the piston (40) is provided with a cavity (50), shaped so as to enhance the generation of tumbling inside the cylinder chamber (30) during the intake stroke and to contribute to the breakdown during the compression stroke inside the cylinder chamber (30).
