Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A method of producing a corrosion resistant ferrous product is disclosed. The product is produced by rolling a heated billet which comprises a mass of mild steel swarf in a stainless steel jacket. Two reducing agents are present in the jacket when the billet is heated. The first reducing agent is in the form of powdered aluminium, titanium turnings or other metal having a greater affinity for oxygen than chrome and which promotes the formation of CO rather than CO2 from air or oxygen which enters or evolves in the billet above about 800 ~C. The second reducing agent is in gaseous or vapour form substantially below that temperature. The second reducing agent may be provided by premixing with the swarf such substances as ammonium chloride or urea, which dissociate to form reducing gases when heated. Alternatively, the billet can be heated in a reducing furnace and the gas in the furnace may act as the second reducing agent.

Abstract: With respect to a plug for a power consumer, in particular a coffee-making apparatus, with means for fastening such a plug in the power consumer, the objective is to provide a method for mounting the plug which is simple, can be carried out without tools, and requires relatively little time. It should, however, also be possible to use the same method on the base, where the corresponding part to the plug must be fitted. According to the principles of this invention, this objective is met by having the plug (1) positioned centrally in a recess (7) in the bottom (6) of the power consumer and resting in a flange (8) at the edge of the recess (7), thus allowing rotation around an axis perpendicular to the bottom (6), and by having the plug (1) also comprise a number of fish plates (2) on its sides, which by rotating the plug (1) can be led in under a corresponding number of hooks (5), which from a position inside the bottom (6) of the power consumer are available for fastening and locking the fish plates (2) on the side of the plug (1).

Title: Method and device for setting custom door travel limits on a motorized garage door operator
Inventor: MULLET WILLIS J
IPC: E05F15/10
Filed: 2002-08-28
Granted: 2008-10-14
Abstract: A door operator and related method of setting custom limits on movable barrier travel, includes a motor for moving the movable barrier between two travel limit positions, an operator for controlling operation of the motor, and a disconnect system coupled between the motor and the operator. The disconnect system is switchable between a connected position and a disconnected position, wherein the motor can engage the operator only when the disconnect system is in the connected position. The operator is connected to a potentiometer for ascertaining movable barrier position, regardless of the position of the disconnect system, and provides position information to the operator. A travel limit is set by placing the disconnect system in the disconnected position and manually moving the door to a desired position whereupon the disconnect system is moved to the connected position so that the operator can detect a positional location to be designated as one of the travel limits. An installation switch may be connected to the operator, wherein the operator determines a custom lower limit or a custom upper limit from the desired position as detected by the potentiometer, wherein actuation of the installation switch establishes the custom limit. An up/down switch may also be connected to the operator.  Actuation of the up/down switch during setting of the operational profile and after setting of the custom lower limit sets a custom upper limit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for recovering metal values from metal-bearing materials. During a reactive process, a seeding agent is introduced to provide a nucleation site for the crystallization and/or growth of solid species which otherwise tend to passivate the reactive process or otherwise encapsulate the metal value, thereby reducing the amount of desired metal values partially or completely encapsulated by such material. The seeding agent may be generated in a number of ways, including the recycling of residue or the introduction of foreign substances. Processes embodying aspects of the present invention may be beneficial for recovering a variety of metals such as copper, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, zinc, rhenium, uranium, rare earth metals, and platinum group metals from any metal-bearing material, such as ores and concentrates.
