Abstract

The operator desk includes at least one work top having one main work surface with a longitudinal main extension. The work top is attached by at least one leg arrangement extending between the desk top and a base foundation; at least one first set of display monitors arranged on a mount supported by at least two supporting legs and having one lower side facing towards, and one upper side facing away from the base foundation. The supporting legs with adhering first set of monitors are movable along a first extension. The operator desk further includes at least one light-emitting element contained in a casing attached to the upper side by at least one mounting arm. A central control device adjusts the mounting arm so that the light-emitting element maintains a desired position along the first extension when the supporting legs with adhering display monitors are moved along the first extension.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fastening device (10), the use of a fastening device, and a method for using a fastening device to build a fence with at least one section (12) having at least one groove (15), and at least one fence material, such as a net (16). The fastening device (10) according to the present invention has a deformable lock flange (30) which during introduction into said section (12) is deformed so as to permit introduction. After the introduction, the deformable lock flange (30) strive to regain its original form, alternately it regains its original form, so that the fastening device (10) is locked in the groove (15) of the section (12). The present invention is easy to handle and provides for a safe connection of the fence material with the section (12).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring the thickness of a metal layer (2) provided on a metal object (1). The metal layer has a resistivity (p1) that differs from the resistivity (p2) of the metal object. The apparatus comprises a first device (4,7) arranged to generate a magnetic field in close vicinity of the metal layer, and to generate a variation of the magnetic field so that a current is induced in the surface of the metal layer, a second device (5,8) arranged to measure the changes of the magnetic field outside the metal layer due to the induced current during a time period that is longer than the time it takes for the current to propagate through the metal layer, and a computing unit (9) configured to receive the measured changes of the magnetic field and to determine the thickness (d) of the layer based on a mathematical relation between the thickness of the layer and the measured values of the changes of the magnetic field.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sensor for measuring stresses induced by a force applied to a load-carrying member. The sensor includes a layer of a magnetoelastic material formed on the load-carrying member. The layer is inhomogeneous and comprises a first phase with an average grain size below 100 nm and a first chemical composition, and a second phase (17) of a distinctly different chemical composition, the first phase being divided by the second phase into regions (18) having an average size in the range of 100 - 10 000 nm, and a plurality of the regions have an oxygen level less than 1 wt%. The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a layer. The method comprises accelerating particles of a soft magnetic and magnetoelastic material having an average size in the range of 10-50 μm towards the surface of the load-carrying member at a velocity of at least 300 m/s such that the average temperature of the accelerated particles is not higher than 500 °C above the melting temperature of the magnetoelastic material, but not lower than 500 °C below the melting temperature of the magnetoelastic material.
