20140073774 | PROCESS FOR TREATING CELLULOSE AND CELLULOSE TREATED ACCORDING TO THE PROCESS - The present invention relates to a process for purifying a slurry comprising cellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the process comprises the following steps: —providing a slurry comprising cellulose and liquid, —subjecting the slurry to an electric field inducing the liquid of the slurry to flow, —separating the liquid from the cellulose thus obtaining a liquid depleted slurry, —adding a washing liquid, such as an organic solvent, to the liquid depleted slurry—subjecting the liquid depleted slurry to an electric field inducing the washing liquid of the slurry to flow and—separating the washing liquid from the cellulose, thus obtaining a purified cellulose. The invention also relates to cellulose such as microfibrillated cellulose obtainable from said process. | 03-13-2014 |
20140088301 | PROCESS FOR TREATING MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE AND MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE TREATED ACCORDING TO THE PROCESS - The present invention relates to a process for dewatering a slurry comprising microfibrillated cellulose wherein the process comprises the following steps of, providing a slurry comprising microfibrillated cellulose and liquid, subjecting the slurry to an electric field inducing the liquid of the slurry to flow and separating the liquid from the microfibrillated cellulose. The invention also relates to microfibrillated cellulose dewatered according to the process. | 03-27-2014 |

20150117745 | Method, system and a service for analyzing samples of a dried liquid - This invention relates to a method, a system and a service for analyzing biological liquids like blood and to assess the quality of such liquid. The analysis is made on a plurality of dried drops of the liquid as samples on a substrate, and involves scanning the substrate to create an image of the dried samples on the substrate. The image of the samples is processed in order to segment and qualify the samples into images of defined sample drops for further processing, whereafter they are grouped into at least one group of samples. The samples are analyzed to retrieve the total areas having at least one predetermined color and to retrieve the total areas for each predetermined color in the drops, whereby a ratio is calculated of the total area of the defined sample drops versus the total areas of the at least one predetermined color areas to achieve a quality indication of the liquid. | 04-30-2015 |

20140175061 | ELECTRICAL SWITCHING DEVICE WITH A TRIPLE MOTION CONTACT ARRANGEMENT - A contact arrangement has a longitudinal axis (z) with a first contact group having a first contact and a second contact, and a second contact group having a third contact and a fourth contact. The first contact interacts electrically and mechanically with the third contact, and/or the second contact interacts electrically and mechanically with the fourth contact. At least one mechanical coupling is provided for transmitting an actuation force to the second contact group and thereby moving the second contact group. The third and the fourth contact can move in such a way that their speeds differ along at least a portion of a travel path of the third contact or of the fourth contact. | 06-26-2014 |
