  • Patent number: 8462046
    Abstract: For managing measurements on signals, a quality of received signals, for which a measurement circuit provides measurement results, is monitored. In the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of a reporting period, a reporting of measurement results that are available at the end of the reporting period is caused. In the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, the measurement circuit is put to a sleep mode and a reporting of extrapolated measurement results is caused, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7520963
    Abstract: Equipment for moving a roll in a paper machine has a movable cradle (13) for attachment to a roll (10). Two pairs of masses (16, 17) are supported rotatably on the cradle (13), in each of which there is an own drive shaft (18) for rotating the pairs of masses (16, 17). Drive devices (19) include a motor (21) and drive-train means (22). The drive-train means (22) include a pair of gears (23), which are arranged in connection with the drive shafts (18), for rotating the drive shafts (18) using a single motor (21). The drive-train means (22) also includes an adjustment element (33) for creating and adjusting the phase difference of the drive shafts (18). The adjustment element (33) is arranged between a gear (25) and the corresponding drive shaft (18), to change their position and thus to create and adjust a phase difference between the drive shafts (18).
