Abstract: A data communication system which includes a plurality of terminals and a data bus, wherein each of the terminals has autonomous access to the data bus. Normally, all terminals are enabled to receive messages on the data bus. To prevent the simultaneous transmission of messages by two or more terminals, each terminal continuously monitors the data bus and is enabled to transmit a message only when the data bus has been silent, e.g., there is an absence of messages on the data bus, for a predetermined period of time which is unique to the terminal, and when a periodic transmission interval for the terminal has been reinitiated. The periodic transmission interval is substantially the same for all terminals, and is measured at each terminal from the time of a previous message transmission thereby. Each terminal includes provision for transferring data in the messages received thereby to an associated utilization device, provided that the data is identified with a proper label, and for converting data transferred from the utilization device into an appropriate message for transmission on the data bus. Preferably, the data bus comprises a twisted pair of wires having short-circuit terminations, with each terminal being inductively coupled thereto, and with the messages being in the form of serial, digital words.

Abstract: A process of pneumatic stirring of a bath of molten metal according to which a stirring fluid is injected through permeable refractory elements arranged at the bottom of a crucible containing the bath, in which the used stirring fluid is, at least temporarily, an organic liquid such as hydrocarbon. The process is advantageously used on a bath of molten pig iron during refining of the same by oxygen, and in which the organic liquid is replaced immediately after decarburization of the bath by an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen. The process thus permits an efficient stirring of the bath of molten metal without the risk of polluting the metal either by hydrogen or nitrogen.
