Abstract: Disclosed is a comprehensive process for reclaiming metallic copper from high-grade furnace slag containing copper, the process flow thereof being: grinding and classifying the copper furnace slag, returning the settled sands obtained by classification back to a ball mill, and sending the classified overflow pulp into a flotation machine group for flotation to obtain a concentrate II, where a screening procedure by a high frequency vibrating screen is added before the ball milled furnace slag enters a classifier, with the screened fine particles sent into the classifier and the screened rough particles sent into magnetic separation, after which a copper concentrate I is obtained; sending magnetic minerals after the magnetic separation back for grinding; magnetically separating the tailings floated through the flotation machine again, after which non-magnetic minerals are sent into a gravity dressing equipment for gravitational segregation to obtain a semi-qualified product, which is then sent to a shaker for refinement to obtain a copper concentrate III; and sending the unqualified product of the shaker back to the gravity dressing equipment, from which the tailings are discharged. The present invention solves the problems that the conventional grinding-flotation process is unsuitable for reclaiming metallic copper from high-grade furnace slag, has a poor reclamation index, and serious copper metal loss; therefore the method is especially suitable for the reclamation of high-grade furnace slag containing copper.

Title: Automated credentialing of device newly added to a network
Inventor: FARBER JORDAN ARI
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2013-12-09
Abstract: A device newly introduced to a network is automatically credentialed to be able to communicate over a network before the device first communicates with the network. For example, at a point of purchase, a user can provide network identification information to a merchant computing device that effects transfer of that information to the new device such that the new device can communicate directly with the network without initial credentialing directly between the unique device and the local network. In another example, the merchant computing device communicates with the local network to register a newly purchased device with the local network before the newly purchased device is introduced to the network.  Accordingly, the network is configured to begin communications with the unique device without initial credentialing directly between the unique device and the local network.

Title: Tiered signal decoding and signal reconstruction
Inventor: ROSSATO LUCA
IPC: H04N19/187
Filed: 2012-07-20
Abstract: A decoder decodes a first set of data and utilizes the first set of decoded data to reconstruct the signal according to a first level of quality. The decoder further decodes a second set of data and identifies an upsample operation specified by the second set of decoded data. The decoder applies the upsample operation identified in the second set of decoded data to the reconstructed signal at the first level of quality to reconstruct the signal at a second, higher level of quality. To enhance the reconstructed signal, the decoder retrieves residual data from the second set of decoded data. The residual data indicates how to modify the reconstructed signal at the second level of quality subsequent to application of the upsampling operation as discussed above. The decoder then modifies the reconstructed signal at the second level of quality as specified by the residual data.
