Abstract:
A communication system for safe wireless control of an manoeuvrable object (3), comprising a control unit (1) having means for operating the object and receiving means for wireless information, and a portable operating unit (2) having sending means for wireless information, where said information is divided in time slots (t s ), each containing a data package (21). The receiving means comprises detecting means for detecting in a time part (t p ) of a time slot the presence of said data package and calculating means for calculating upon a reception failure the number of time parts having no presence of said data package following a time slot with presence of said data package. The control unit exercises a control command when a data package with a correct information has been received within a number of time parts just exceeding a full time slot.
Abstract:
A device for continuous casting of metal, comprising an electromagnetic brake that includes at least one downwardly open mould comprising cooled copper plates (1a, 1b) that form a chilled casting mould with a rectangular cross section, wherein said mould is adapted to be supplied with an incoming primary flow of melt.

Abstract:
A VSC-converter for converting alternating voltage into direct voltage and conversely is controlled so that semiconductor devices of turn-off type connected in anti-parallel with diodes are controlled to be turned on and turned off so that an alternating voltage phase line is alternatively connected to a midpoint (23) of a direct voltage side of the apparatus, the plus pole (7) mad the minus pole (8) of the direct voltage side for generating a train of pulses with determined amplitudes according to a pulse width modulation pattern on the phase output of the apparatus. The midpoint of the direct voltage side is connectable to the phase output through two different so called zero states. The semiconductor devices (13-16, 10, 11) are controlled so that both zero states are each assumed at least once during a half period during which the fundamental frequency component of a voltage set value of the phase output is positive or negative.
