Title: Process for the utilization of slag
Inventor: GENNARI UDO
IPC: C21C5/56
Filed: 2004-05-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for utilizing slag (2, 2"), which comes from the ironworks industry and which contains oxidic iron particles, involving an addition of a reducing agent (29) and the reduction of oxidic iron particles of the slag (2, 2") and of other possibly existing metal oxides with this reducing agent (29). In order to achieve an efficient reduction of slag with a low expenditure of energy and with small investments, the method is carried out as follows: charging the slag (2, 2") into a reactor vessel (7) onto a remaining iron smelt (25), which contains dissolved carbon, slowly and continuously over a longer period of time; electrically heating the slag (2), the remaining iron smelt and newly forming iron smelt (17) over a longer period of time; blowing a carbon-containing reducing agent (29) with inert gas over a longer period of time by means of a lance (11) into an area located near the interface (26) between the slag (2) and the iron smelt (25) or directly into the iron smelt (25); dissolving the carbon of the reducing agent (29) in the iron smelt (25); reducing oxidic iron particles of the slag (2) while forming metallic iron and CO over a longer period of time; formation of a foamed slag (2') by the resulting CO over a longer period of time;  introducing an oxygen-containing gas or oxygen into the foamed slag (2') and reheating CO to form CO2 over a longer period of time; sweeping the bottom of the reactor vessel (7) with inert gas over a longer period of time;  discharging the processed slag (16) and, if necessary; subsequently discharging iron smelt (17) while leaving a remaining iron smelt (25) that contains dissolved carbon in the reactor vessel (7).

Abstract: A system and method for automatically maximizing the quantity of a fluid which can be placed within a tank car having a maximum product weight based on the lesser of either an industry maximum product weight limit and a maximum calculated product weight at 2% outage is disclosed. The system includes a magnetostrictive probe having a movable float and a temperature gauge thereon and mounted within a tank car, such that the float is capable of being buoyed by a fluid. The system further includes a fluid pump capable of activation to transfer fluid from a bulk source to a tank car, and a controller coupled wirelessly to the magnetostrictive probe and an input device, and wired to one of either a fluid pump or shutoff valve, such that the maximum product weight is entered to the controller by the input device and the controller activates the pump or shutoff valve to begin addition of fluid to the tank car. A system monitor is coupled to the controller and wirelessly coupled to the magnetostrictive probe as well. In use, the system monitor obtains an outage value of the tank car based on a float line of the float in the fluid and the temperature of the fluid and the monitor calculates a float line correction for the given fluid at the determined temperature and then calculates a full point tank volume prior to complete filling of the tank car based upon the formula: determined actual maximum product weight (specific gravity of fluid at fluid temp × 8.33 lbs/gallons) wherein the calculated full point tank volume is directed to the controller and a level point (outage) corresponding to the full point tank volume is calculated by the controller which then deactivates the pump or shutoff valve when the calculated outage value equals the level point (outage).

Title: Method and system of measuring an object in a digital image
Inventor: CHA HANBYN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2005-03-10
Abstract: A method and a system of measuring an object in a two-dimensional digital image are provided. The object is moved to cover the portion that is outside a viewing window, and a first image of the object, which is captured before the object is moved, and a second image of the object, which is captured after the object is moved are used in measuring. Displacement of the image is detected by comparing the position of one reference point of the object in the first image and the position of the same reference point of the object in the second image. And the geometrical data of the object is calculated with the displacement data. The second image is overlapped with the first image by finding the position at which sum of the luminosity value of the first image and the reversed luminosity value of the second image is minimized.
