Abstract: To extract water from a washed fiber suspension (S), it is passed between two moving surfaces (1,2) where the second surface (2) moves at a slower speed than the first surface (1) or is static. It has a smooth surface impermeable to water. The second surface (2) has a decreasing curvature radius (R1-R3) in the direction (A) of movement. The curvature radius (R1,R2) at the start of the water extraction gap (5) is at least 2 m. The second surface (2) is formed by a fixed and curved sliding shoe, and the first surface (1) is part of a machine wire (4), pressed against the other surface (2). The second surface can also be an impermeable and flexible belt on a curved path, moving at a slower speed than the facing machine wire (4). The first surface (1) moves at a speed of at least 200 m/min. or 800 m/min. in relation to the second surface (2) Most or all of the extracted water is taken off radially outwards from the water extraction zone (6). On entering the gap (5) into the water extraction zone, the fiber suspension has a solid content of 0.3-2.0%. The fiber suspension layer (7) carried through between the two surfaces (1,2) has a maximum solid content of 8% or 5% in the water extraction zone (6). An additional fiber suspension can be delivered to the water extraction zone (6), through the second surface (2), with a sufficient turbulence to eddy the layer (7), or without turbulence to form an auxiliary filter layer on the suspension layer (7). The water extraction zone (6) is generally horizontal, or is in a downward alignment with the suspension entry at the upper end, or the zone has an involuted shape. The second surface (2) has longitudinal grooves. On leaving the water extraction zone (6), the fiber suspension layer (7) is passed to a second water extraction zone. The extracted water, after passing through the permeable first surface (1), is divided into at least two fractions, where one fraction (F1) is from the initial section of the water extraction zone (6), and the other fraction (F2) is from the remainder of the zone. The first fraction (F1) is taken to a feed point for the additional suspension delivery, at the impermeable surface (2), to be injected into the fiber suspension layer (7). The narrowing is adjustable, between the two surfaces (1,2), through a swing flap.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for such
control and supervision of an oscillator signal from a
controllable oscillator that is done mainly to control the
frequency variation of the oscillator signal. According to
the invention, the controllable oscillator is controlled by a
controlling voltage, which in turn is modified by a
correction signal, generated in a control loop. A time
discrete representation of a secondary phase is generated in
the control loop, the secondary phase corresponding to a
frequency being the difference between the frequency of the
oscillator signal and a constant frequency. A time discrete
approximation signal is generated in dependence of the time
discrete representation of the secondary phase. A time
discrete error signal is generated in dependence of the time
discrete approximation signal, the time discrete error signal
indicating the difference between the actual frequency slope
of the oscillator signal and a desired frequency slope. The
correction signal is generated in dependence of the time
discrete error signal. The control loop can also be adaptive,
meaning that data from one control sequence is being used in
a later control sequence.

Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: Conventional batteries have a problem that, in case the
battery temperature should rise to 100°C or higher due to an internal
short-circuit, etc., a large short-circuit current develops to
generate heat. It follows that the battery temperature further
increases, which can result in a further increase of the short-circuit
current. Further, some of electrode structures involve
reduction in discharge capacity. These problems are solved by a
battery in which an electron conductive material (9), being in
contact with an active material (8) in an electrode, comprises a
conductive filler and a resin so that the electrode may increase
its resistivity with a temperature rise, and the ratio of the
particle size of the electron conductive material (9) to that of
the active material (8) is in a range of from 0.1 to 20.
