Abstract: The method concerns grain refinement or improvement of metal alloys by continuous delivery of a grain refinement or alloy improvement agent in the form of a wire (18) into the alloy melt (20). For purposes of quick dissolution, the wire before being added to the melt is either melted or heated to a temperature close to its liquidus point, and in such a state is introduced into the melt. Also claimed is an apparatus for implementation of the proposed method.

Date Jan. 30, 1997Structural steel profiles such as channels, having a material thickness greater than 2 mm, are roll-formed to a preform profile with corners partial bent, in-line galvanized, and then further roll-formed to final shape. The preform profile has upwardly facing convex surfaces allowing rapid shedding of excess galvanising material. By preforming corners before galvanising, surface elongation in the galvanising layer is minimized and cracking eliminated. This is enhances by constant length bending of corners over preform and final roll-forming operations.

Abstract: Systems (34) which have an integrated unit that allows both television signals and information retrieved from an onboard information storage device (32) to be presented in a visual, audio or video/audio learn-while-doing form via output devices such as television screens and audio speakers. The operating mode - television or stored information retrieval and display - is selected by the user. The user is coached through steps leading to retrieval and presentation of the wanted information if the information retrieval mode is selected. To this end, the data storage devices are encoded with data corresponding to: (a) information for coaching a user in accomplishing one or more steps of a specified task in learn-then-perform way, and (b) an instruction set which enables the user access to access the information on a user-selected step of the task. Methods for providing the encoded data storage devices and for employing those devices in the operation of the systems are also described. A novel remote control (36) allows the system user to choose the mode of operation and to navigate the steps needed to reach the wanted information from a location convenient to the user.

Abstract: Fast loading of a vector test pattern in a semiconductor device tester. Fast loading is achieved through the use of delta coding of vectors in conjunction with a vector cache in the vector loading circuitry of the tester. In this way, the total amount of information transmitted during the loading operation is reduced. Hardware required to implement the method is minimized by using random access memory conventionally found in automatic test equipment for the vector cache.

Abstract: Apparatus for external medical treatment with light. A light-emitting device is provided that is adapted to be held in close proximity to the body of an individual and that includes light-emitting diodes or corresponding elements that are adapted to emit monochromatic light of a first wavelength. The light emitting device is driven by a drive arrangement for causing the light-emitting device to emit the monochromatic light over a first predetermined time period in a first state, and thereafter emit selectively monochromatic light of a different wavelength than the first wavelength and over a second predetermined time period in a possible second state. The drive arrangement causes the light-emitting device to pulsate the emitted light in accordance with a predetermined pulse frequency or series of pulse frequencies over the respective time periods, and causes the light-emitting device to emit the pulsating light with a pulse length that lies within an interval of about 60% to about 90% of the time between respective start edges of two mutually sequential pulses.
