Publication number: 20230160594Abstract: System and methods for reconfiguring rooms or zones within an area in building automation are disclosed. One of the methods includes receiving a user request to group together at least a first segment and a second segment in a zone and verifying the user request using one or more rules. Upon verification of the user request, the method automatically links each object in the master segment to the corresponding object in the second segment to create the zone. Within this zone, a control program of the master segment provides a synchronized control of the environmental control equipment in the master segment and the second segment. This method of zoning provides the flexibility to perform rezoning on the fly without requiring traditional engineering, redesign or reprogramming.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc.Inventors: Leif Roger Torbjörn NILSSON, Lars-Eric Ragnar ASSARSSON, Andreas Karl Fredrik HÅKANSSON

Publication number: 20230160598Abstract: System and methods for counting people in a space that is monitored by a plurality of distributed sensors are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a people count value output by a first sensor monitoring a portion of a space. The first sensor is one of a plurality of distributed sensors monitoring non-overlapping portions of the space. The method further includes waiting to receive additional people count values output by other sensors monitoring other portions of the space and then determining a total count of people in the space in response to receiving the additional people count values and determining that the received people count values are synchronized in time. In response to determining the total count of people in the space, one or more actions may be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC BUILDINGS AMERICAS, INC.Inventors: Leif Roger Torbjörn Nilsson, Peter Sven Anders Lindgren

Patent number: 7988082Abstract: A gyratory crusher has a crushing head fixedly attached to an upper portion of a substantially vertical shaft, on which crushing head a first crushing shell is mounted, and a frame on which a second crushing shell is mounted. The second crushing shell defines, together with the first crushing shell, a crushing gap. The gyratory crusher has a space adapted to contain liquid. The space is defined by a piston, which is formed at least partly of the lower end of the shaft, a cylinder, which is formed at least partly in an eccentric assembly, and a bottom element. The space is adapted to form a cushion with the aid of the liquid, so that the cushion can serve as a thrust bearing transmitting vertical forces from the crushing head to the bottom element.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Percy Norrman, Jan Johansson, Torbjörn Nilsson-Wulff, Niklas Bennstedt

Publication number: 20110030388Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for dehumidifying and control of humidity inside an enclosure comprising electrical equipment. The device comprises a heating element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the exterior of the enclosure and a cooling element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the interior of the enclosure. Dew condensed at the cooling element is guided to the heating element so that humidity from the air, condensed at the cooling element, may be transported to the heating element to be vaporised wherein the water guiding means comprises a capillary structure. In still another aspect of the invention, the functionality of the heating and cooling elements may be switched so as to reverse the flow of water and provide a humidity control arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2006Publication date: February 10, 2011Inventors: Mikael Johansson, Torbjörn Nilsson

Patent number: 7850108Abstract: A gyratory crusher includes an outer shell, which should be fastened in a frame included in the crusher, and an inner shell, which is intended to be fastened on a crushing head and to define together with the outer shell a crushing gap for receipt of material to be crushed. Upon fastening of the outer shell a first abutment surface on the outer periphery of the outer shell is brought in a first step to abutment against a first contact surface on the frame. In a second step a spacer member is pressed in for clamping of the outer shell between a second surface on the outer periphery of the outer shell and the frame. A good abutment is provided both at the first abutment. Surface of the outer shell and at the second abutment surface thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2004Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Gert-Åke Olsson, Rolf Silfver, Torbjörn Nilsson Wulff

Publication number: 20090283248Abstract: A method and arrangement for managing the temperature of an electronic component. A reservoir holds a tempering liquid. A pressurizing device pressurizes the liquid, and provides the liquid to a spraying device, which sprays the liquid onto the electronic component. A heat remover cools the liquid when thermal energy is to be removed from the component, and a heating device heats the liquid when thermal energy is to be provided to the component when powering up the component in low temperatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2006Publication date: November 19, 2009Inventor: Torbjörn Nilsson

Patent number: 7338000Abstract: An inner shell, which is intended for use in a gyratory crusher and which during crushing will rotate around its own center axis in a first direction, has at least one additional crusher surface. The additional crusher surface has, in horizontal projection and as seen in the first direction, a decreasing distance to the center axis. Large objects can be introduced between the additional crusher surface and an outer shell near a first end of the additional crusher surface in order to, near a second end of the additional crusher surface, be squeezed between the additional crusher surface and the outer shell and be crushed.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Torbjörn Nilsson-Wulff, Christian Trulsson, Richard Bern, Björn Loven, Rolf Silfver

Patent number: 6433423Abstract: A microchip (3) is mounted to a chip carrier (1) in such a way as to avoid an earth fault between the chip (3) and the carrier (1). When mounting chips, the chip (3) is placed on a chip carrier (1) that includes an electrically and thermally conductive element (13). The element includes a surface (17) and a recess (15) arranged relative to the surface. The microwave chip (3) is arranged at the surface (17) of the electrically and thermally conductive element (13) by means of a fixing or bonding substance (19), which is disposed at least partially in the recess (15). When mounting the chip, the chip (3) is positioned so that an earth plane (3d) of the microwave chip (3) will lie level with the surface (17) of the electrically and thermally conductive element (13). The chip carrier (1) is suitable for a chip mounting process and can be produced both readily and inexpensively.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Leif Bergstedt, Torbjörn Nilsson
