Title: Process and apparatus for melting contaminated metalliferous scrap material
Inventor: DUBE CLAUDE
IPC: C22B9/22
Filed: 1990-05-28
Granted: 1992-07-23
Abstract: A process and apparatus for melting contaminated metalliferous scrap material are disclosed. The process comprises introducing the contaminated material (11, 72) into a melting furnace (12, 70), heating the material by means of a plasma (13, 71) at a temperature below the melting point of the metal at which the non-metallic contaminants are volatilized in an atmosphere which is preferably inert or has low reactivity with the metal under the process conditions while displacing at least some of the material (11, 72) within the furnace interior, withdrawing volatile contaminants from the furnace (12, 70), increasing the temperature in the furnace preferably while maintaining an atmosphere of low reactivity in the furnace in order to melt the metal while preferably displacing at least some of the material in the furnace interior, and removing molten metal (77) from the furnace. The process allows scrap material to be melted with good metal recovery without the need for separate decontaminating apparatus. The process can also avoid the need to shred the scrap and to add large amounts of fluxing salts to separate the molten metal from remaining dross. A rotary furnace (12, 70) heated by means of a contained arc plasma torch (13, 71) is preferably employed in the apparatus which also preferably comprises an incinerator (21, 79) for oxidizing the volatile contaminants withdrawn from the furnace.

Title: Data telephone exchange system - prevents inadmissible external connections over high-level devices by monitoring and controlling such devices
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1972-04-19
Abstract: The data telephone exchange has trunk circuits designed either for one type of transmission (data or speech etc.) or for several types and selected by a code prefixed to the call number of the required connection. External selected connections over paths handling several types of transmission take place by means of a central call number generator (ZG) that determines the call number to be transmitted. This allows the use of 'high-level' transmission devices to be monitored and controlled without the aide of the called subscriber terminal the subscriber cannot construct external connections that are not permitted using high-level devices.

Title: Open type dry transformer with axial air cooling channel - has additional winding sections with excess heat dissipated evenly on outer surface
IPC: H01F27/08
Filed: 1972-05-29
Abstract: A dry transformer is of the open type design. It has an additional axial cooling channel inside the winding surrounding the main dispersal channel. The excess temperatures on the external winding are dissipated equally along all sections as a result of radiation from the outer sheathing. The additional winding sections (3, 4) form around the additional cooling channel (5) as more windings in the outer section than in the inner section given an unchanged cross section of the winding conductor. The outer winding section is thicker in the radial direction than the inner section. All the winding sections are continuously wound around a conductor.
