Date Apr. 25, 1996In a process for the production of molten pig iron or molten steel pre-products and sponge iron from charging materials consisting of iron ore and, if desired, fluxes, direct reduction of the charging materials to sponge iron is carried out in a fixed-bed reduction zone, the sponge iron is melted in a meltdown gasifying zone under supply of carbon carriers as well as an oxygen-containing gas and a CO- and H2-containing reducing gas is produced which is fed to the reduction zone, is reacted there and is drawn off as an export gas, and the drawn-off export gas is subjected to CO2 elimination and for the production of sponge iron is along with part of the reducing gas formed in the meltdown gasifying zone as an at least largely CO2 free reducing gas conveyed to a further reduction zone for the direct reduction of iron ore. In order to save investment costs incurred for the plant and to increase productivity, part of the reducing gas produced in the meltdown gasifying zone is branched off and fed to the further reduction zone while avoiding CO2 elimination.

Title: Manufacture of titanium carbide, nitride and carbonitride whiskers
Inventor: NYGREN MATS
IPC: C30B29/62
Filed: 1996-07-04
Granted: 2002-02-20
Abstract: The presently claimed invention relates to a method of producing, in large volumes and at low cost, titanium carbide, nitride and carbonitride whiskers, with preferably submicron diameters, to be used as reinforcing material. The whiskers are suitable for use as a reinforcement material in a wide range of materials, including metals, intermetallics, plastics, ceramics and metallic bonded hard material. Titanium oxide, hydroxide or alkali compounds thereof are mixed with the carbon powder. The basic idea of the invention is the use of a carbon source with a volatile part which volatiles at temperatures exceeding 500 DEG C and in an amount to satisfy the stoichiometric requirements of the carbide or nitride and use a halogenide salt as a volatilisation agent for titanium and a catalyst able to dissolve Ti plus C and/or N, such as Ni or Co. The reactant powders are blended in some typical manner e.g. by using a high speed blender so as to intimately mix them. Finally the mixed starting material is subjected to nitriding, carbonising or carbo-nitriding heat treatments in order to produce the desired whiskers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process and apparatus for aperturing, creping and optionally laminating webs (14, 18) such as, for example, films and fibrous nonwovens. The present invention is also directed to the resultant materials. The process for aperturing and creping webs utilizes a pattern roll (22) and an anvil roll (24) with the anvil roll being rotated faster than the pattern roll. The resultant material is visually much different than conventional materials which are typically run through similar rolls wherein the pattern rool and anvil roll are run at the same speed or wherein the pattern roll is run faster than the anvil roll. The resultant materials have a wide variety of applications not the least of which includes a liner material for personal care absorbent articles such as diapers, training pants, feminine hygiene products, bandages and the like.

Abstract: A system for enhancing navigation or surveillance in low visibility conditions is realized by employing one or more ultraviolet radiation sources, a receiver which is capable of producing output signals from which a two dimensional image of the received radiation can be constructed, and a display device for displaying such image. In one preferred embodiment the ultraviolet radiation source is co-positioned with a critical marker such as a runway beacon or hazard beacon. The ultraviolet radiation emanates from the source, preferably modulated to form a repetitive, characteristic signal, propagates through the low visibility atmosphere, and received by the ultraviolet imaging receiver. In another preferred embodiment, an ultraviolet radiation source is placed at or near the ultraviolet imaging receiver, that is, onboard the same vehicle or at the same fixed location. One or more reflectors are co-positioned with the critical markers. The reflector reflects or redirect an ultraviolet radiation signal, received from the source, back through the low visibility atmosphere to the ultraviolet imaging receiver whereby an image of the received radiation is presented to an operator by a display device. In another preferred embodiment, the reflector may be replaced with a transponder. The present invention permits a pilot, vehicle operator, air traffic controller, or other operator to perform navigation or surveillance tasks in low visibility conditions in similar manner to that employed under clear weather conditions.

Abstract: A method for killing tumor cells in vivo entails providing replication competent herpes simplex virus vectors to tumor cells. A replication competent herpes simplex virus vector, with an essential herpes simplex virus gene which is driven by a tumor-specific or cell-specific promoter that specifically destroys tumor cells and is not neurovirulent. Also, a method for producing an animal model, by ablating a specific cell type in vivo, entails providing replication competent herpes simplex virus vectors to the animal. Such a vector, with an essential herpes simplex virus gene driven by a cell- or tissue-specific promoter, specifically destroys the target cell type. This method of viral-mediated gene therapy employs cell-specific viral replication, where viral replication and associated cytotoxicity are limited to a specific cell-type by the regulated expression of an essential immediate-early (IE) viral gene product.

Abstract: The method involves ensuring that a modular communication terminal functions correctly. The terminal includes a base device and several exchangeable modules. When a module is plugged in, the software of the base station, and/or the last connected module, is put out of operation, and the software of the newly connected module is activated. The module with the highest priority takes on the control of the whole device. When a module is plugged in, the software of all modules and the base device may be tested. The module with the highest priority may be plugged into the first module site. The software of the module with the highest priority may include the control programmes of all previously connected modules and the base device. It may test for conflicts with connected modules and change the functioning of the lower priority modules, and the base device.

Abstract: L'invention appartient au domaine de la régulation de l'écoulement carbonique dans le métabolisme de la cellule. On a trouvé que l'induction d'un changement dans la disponibilité intracellulaire du saccharide tréhalose-6-phosphate (T-6-P) induisait in vivo des modifications dans le développement et/ou la composition de cellules, de tissu et d'organes. On peut induire ces changements par introduction ou par inhibition de l'enzyme tréhalose phosphate synthase (TPS), laquelle peut former T-6-P et la tréhalose phosphate phosphatase (TPP), laquelle dégrade T-6-P en tréhalose. L'écoulement carbonique par glycolyse peut être stimulé par une diminution du taux intracellulaire de T-6-P.

Abstract: A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29). A dam (33) in the fixed section forms a pond (72) for immersion cooling of the extrudate. A truss (35) extends from the dam to the bulkhead supporting shaping and calibration equipment and extends through the telescoping section. Fluid pressurizable seals at each end of the telescoping section are operable after the telescoping section is closed against the bulkhead and the telescoping and fixed sections are locked together. The telescoping section provide a more compact line and easier access to the complex equipment downstream of the die. The extrudate from the die passes down into the pond (72) and then through an orifice (74) in a hood (75) projecting from the chamber into a lower level portion of the pond (78) exposed to atmosphere. The hood also includes a tractor drive (88) to push the extrudate through the underwater orifice. The hood and its contents are accessible through the atmospheric pond. A tractor haul-off and the tractor drive in the hood are the only extrudate drives between the calibration equipment and atmosphere. The higher level of the pond (72) within the chamber downstream of the dam is controlled by a valve in turn controlling the output of a pump. The valve control senses the pond level and operates independently of the vacuum controls. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29).
