Abstract:
The present invention concerns a ballistic protection against objects such as projectiles from fire arms, alternatively scatter from for example hand grenades. The protection comprises an enclosure (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9) adapted so that the object (10) can penetrate the enclosure (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9) in at least one area (2); at least one intermediate layer (3) comprising granules (27) arranged within the enclosure (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9), which intermediate layer (3) and enclosure (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9) are arranged to deaccelerate said object (10). The invention is further characterized in that: the granules (27) are movable arranged with respect to each other; the space in the intermediate layer (3) that is not occupied by granules (27) is filled by a gas medium to enable contact between adjacent granules (27); the granules (27) have mechanical properties so that a granule (27) is crushed and spread in the intermediate layer (3) when it is hit by an object (10), at the same time as adjacent granules (27) are subjected to impulses with a subsequent energy dissipation so that the object and fragments thereof remains in the protection with a reduced risk for ricochets.
Abstract:
A method is described for controlling a process section for refining fibrous material such as wood pulp, cellulose pulp and the like. The process section has a refiner driven by a motor of which the speed is variable. Using a multivariable control method the process may be optimised for energy by varying the rotation speed of the refiner. The process section may also have at least one first refiner having a plurality of sensors arranged in a predetermined position on a refiner plate of the at least one first refiner. The method may also comprise measuring, alternatively estimating, one or more process variables representing external states outside of the refiner (η 1 ,Q 1 ) for said process section and measuring, alternatively estimating, one or more values representing one or more internal states (ζ 1 ) inside said at least one first refiner, and by calculating a change for said at least one manipulated variable (u 1 ) for said at least one refiner using said measurement of an internal state (ζ 1 ) of said at least one refiner and a measurement of said one or more process external states (n 1 ,Q 1 ) for said process section by means of a mathematical process model.
Abstract:
There is a need to measure process variables spatially directly in the refining zone of refiners in the pulp and paper industry. This is accomplished by the invention and considers a control procedure where the difference between the distributed axial force and the distributed steam force for high consistency refiners alternatively the liquid and the pulp phase related forces for low consistency refiners, along the radius of the segments is used to prevent fiber cutting and plate clash of the segments. The procedure is also applicable to continuous control of the refining process near machine limits.
Abstract:
An invention is disclosed which enhances efficiency and reduces the stray field of wireless power transfer. The invention makes use of special coil geometries for transmitter and receiver. The coil geometry is an approximation of a multipole current. Such currents have a faster decaying electromagnetic field compared to traditional coils. This allows higher power densities to be transferred.
Abstract:
In the pulp and paper industry, there is a need to follow up process variables spatially directly in the refining zone of refiners, in order to control the process to reduce the variations in energy consumption and pulp quality. This is accomplished by the invention for several refiners where pre-defined process conditions can be visualized by using one or several operating windows where the chip quality impact on the final pulp can be followed.
Abstract:
In the pulp and paper industry, there is a need to measure process variables spatially directly in the refining zone of refiners, in order to control the process to reduce the variations in energy consumption and pulp quality. This is accomplished by the invention for refiners with two refining zones, separated by a common rotor, and considers a control procedure where the difference between the temperature profiles and/or the pressure profiles obtained from each zone is controlled by changing the dilution water feed rate and/or the plate gap or the hydraulic pressure to each zone. The procedure is also applicable to continuous control of the refining process near machine limits.
Abstract:
By refining/grinding of pulp there is a need for using measurement information from traditional process variables in combination with measurement signals from the refining zones of refiners for estimating the quality of pulp output from refiner lines. The present invention enables this and relates to a method for improving the control of the refining process in one or several connected refiners by using estimated pulp quality information from each refiner in order to quickly be able to control the refining at disturbances to the process.

A method is described for controlling a process section for thermo-mechanical pulp (TMP) refining. The process section has at least one first refiner having a plurality of sensors arranged in a predetermined position on a refiner plate of the at least one first refiner. The method comprises measuring, alternatively estimating, one or more process variables representing external states outside of the refiner Formula (I) for said process section and measuring, alternatively estimating, one or more values representing one or more internal states states Formula (II) inside said at least one first refiner, and by calculating a change for said at least one manipulated variable ( u 1 ) for said at least one refiner using said measurement of an internal state Formula (II) of said at least one refiner and a measurement of said one or more process external states Formula (I) for said process section by means of a mathematical process model.
