Granted: 2001-10-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for supplying a granular raw material for reduced iron in which when the granular raw material for reduced iron is fed into a hopper (11) and from there supplied onto a hearth (3a) of a movable hearth furnace (3) through a material supplying device (10), the material supplying device is moved vertically to thereby adjust the gap (T) between the lower end of the material supplying device (13) and the hearth (3a), whereby it is possible to adjust with high accuracy the amount of granular raw material for reduced iron supplied onto the hearth (3a) of the movable hearth furnace (3). Further, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for leveling a granular raw material for reduced iron in which a spiral vane (20) is rotated on the downstream side with respect to a hearth moving direction of a material discharge outlet of a material supplying device (10) for supplying the granular raw material for reduced iron onto a hearth of a movable hearth furnace through the material supplying means (10) to thereby move the granular raw material for reduced iron in the hearth width direction to disperse it, whereby it is possible to disperse and level the granular raw material for reduced iron over the entire surface of the hearth (3a) of the movable hearth furnace without breakage or pulverization of the granular raw material for reduced iron.  <IMAGE>

Title: Air-controlled rotary joint compensator
Inventor: PETER JOHN H
IPC: F16L27/08
Filed: 1990-05-14
Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: The invention pertains to the method and apparatus of compensating for the axial bearing load forces imposed upon rotary joints conveying a pressurised fluid medium, such as steam, by imposing an axial force on the rotary joint housing (20) proportional to the pressure within the rotary joint (10) by use of a distinctively different pressurised medium than that conveyed by the joint, such as compressed air. An expansible chamber motor (38) capable of imposing an axial force on the rotary joint (10) utilises compressed air whose pressure is controlled by a sensing and regulating system responsive to the pressure within the rotary joint (10).

Title: High efficiency digital data encoding and decoding apparatus
Inventor: TSUTSUI KYOYA
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 1994-02-15
Granted: 1996-07-25
Abstract: An apparatus for compressing a digital input signal compresses a digital input signal arranged into frames of plural samples. The digital input signal is orthogonally transformed by plural orthogonal transform circuits in blocks derived by dividing the frames by a different divisor in each circuit. The resulting spectral coefficients are quantized using an adaptive number of bits. The output of one orthogonal transform circuit is selected based on the outputs of the orthogonal transform circuits. The digital input signal is divided into plural frequency ranges, and frames are formed in each range. A block length decision circuit determines division of the frames of each range signal into blocks in response to range signal dynamics. The range signals are orthogonally transformed in blocks and the spectral coefficients are quantized. The apparatus also includes a frequency analyzing circuit that derives spectral data points from the input data, and groups them in plural bands. A noise level setting circuit finds the energy in each band and sets a allowable noise level in response to the band energy. A block floating coefficient calculating circuit calculates block floating coefficients based on the maximum spectral data point in each band. A quantizing bit number decision circuit determines the number of bits to use for quantizing in response to the allowable noise level and the block floating coefficients. A quantizing circuit quantizes the spectral data points in response to the quantizing bit number decision circuit.

Date Jul. 7, 1994In the production of slat packages for Venetian blinds, the slats are placed over each other and introduced between a first and a second transverse band in double rungs in carrying bands or ladders including bands or cords. The slats are conveyed one by one to the carrying band and lifted after being introduced into a double rung to enable mechanical introduction of the slats between the double rungs. A double rung is stretched between two teeth projecting over the plane in which the slats are conveyed. A slat is conveyed forward until it has passed under the first of the two transverse bands, and the slat is then lifted so that when further conveyed it passes over the second of the two transverse bands. The slat can be lifted by an inclined plane placed between the teeth.

Title: Ceramic composite
Inventor: KUSZYK JACK ANDREW
IPC: C04B35/65
Filed: 1990-07-17
Granted: 1992-08-20
Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic composite comprising (1) a ceramic matrix obtained by oxidation of an aluminum zinc alloy to form a polycrystalline oxidation reaction product of the metal (10) with an oxidant, and (2) one or more fillers (12) embedded by the matrix. The metal alloy (10) and permeable mass of filler (12) having at least one defined surface boundary (14) are oriented relative to each other so that formation of the oxidation reaction product will occur into said mass of filler (12) and in a direction towards said defined surface boundary (14). On heating the metal (10) to a first temperature above its melting point but below the melting point of said oxidation reaction product to form a body of molten parent metal, the molten metal reacts with said oxidant to form said oxidation reaction product which infiltrates said mass of filler (12) to said defined surface boundary (14). The resulting infiltrated mass is heated to a second temperature in order to remove or oxidize at least a substantial portion of any residual non-oxidized metallic constituents from or in said infiltrated mass without substantial formation of said oxidation reaction product beyond said defined surface boundary (14), thereby producing a self-supporting ceramic composite.

The scraper blade may be saw-blade-like, the pitch of the teeth preferably corresponding to the pitch of the bristles arranged in a ring-like manner. The cleaning device and the container may be common to several operators, i.e. to several brushes.

Title: Anticoagulant fusion protein anchored to cell membrane
Inventor: RIESBECK KRISTIAN
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 1998-03-26
Granted: 2001-05-24
Abstract: The invention relates to the inhibition of blood coagulation, especially during organ rejection, and in particular the inhibition of delayed vascular rejection.  The invention provides anticoagulant proteins which are anchored to cell membranes. The anticoagulant function is preferably provided by heparin, antithrombin, hirudin, TFPI, tick anticoagulant peptide, or a snake venom factor.  These anticoagulant proteins are preferably prevented from being constitutively expressed at the cell surface. In particular, expression at the cell-surface is regulated according to cell-activation, for instance by targeting the protein to a suitable secretory granule.  Expression of these proteins renders cells, tissues and organs less vulnerable to rejection after transplantation (eg. after xenotransplantation).

Abstract: A composition of matter which comprises Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been disclosed. This composition inhibited the growth of human breast cancer cells, human vulvar carcinoma cells and human histiocytic lymphoma cells a dose-dependent manner. The growth characteristics of human breast cancer cells were minimally affected when exposed to TNF or IL-4 alone. However, the combination of these two cytokines together inhibited the growth of these cells in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, interferon-gamma (IFN-g) caused a further potentiation of the antiproliferative effects of the TNF and IL-4 composition.
