Patent number: 9826754Abstract: A through-flow freezer is disclosed comprising a freezing cylinder, an inlet pipe, an inlet blocking device, an air inlet, an outlet pipe and an outlet blocking device, wherein, at least in one operational mode of the through-flow freezer, the inlet blocking device and the outlet blocking device are closed such that a certain amount of mix and a certain amount of air substantially corresponding to a desired overrun in the freezing cylinder can be entrapped in the freezing cylinder by introducing air via the air inlet. Furthermore, a method for starting up a through-flow freezer is disclosed comprising the step of adding air through the air inlet until a certain amount of mix and a certain amount of air substantially corresponding to a desired overrun is entrapped in the freezing cylinder and a certain cylinder pressure is reached in the freezing cylinder before starting the cooling of the freezing cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Erik Jimmy Wolf Petersen, Steen Gyldenlov, Ole Bendixen

Patent number: 9265495Abstract: A device and method for pushing an anchor through a bore in a bone is provided with an elongated shaft, an anchor carrying assembly disposed at a distal end of the shaft for carrying an anchor, and a plunger disposed in the elongated shaft. The plunger is movable relative to the elongated shaft. First, threads are attached to the anchor. Then, the anchor is positioned in the anchor fastener, and the elongated shaft is placed next to the bore in the bone. Next, the plunger is inserted into the elongated shaft, and a force is exerted to on the plunger to move it in direction of the distal end of the elongated shaft such that a distal end of the plunger comes into contact with the anchor and pushes the anchor through the bore in the bone. Then, the threads attached to the anchor are pulled to position the anchor.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Karl Storz GmbH & Co.
