Title: Fluidized bed type reducing system for reducing fine iron ore
Inventor: KIM YONG HA
IPC: F27B15/09
Filed: 1996-12-28
Abstract: A fluidized bed reducing system for reducing a fine iron ore is disclosed, in which the structure of the fluidized bed reducing furnace is improved such that the coarse iron ore particles are distributed in the lower portion of the fluidized bed within the furnace and the fine iron ore particles are distributed in the upper portion of the fluidized bed. Thus, the average residence times of the particles in the furnace are adjusted differently for different ore sizes, so that the reducing efficiency can be improved, and that the residence time of the reducing gas in the furnace can be extended, thereby improving the degree of gas utilization. The fluidized bed reducing system for reducing a fine iron ore includes: an upper iron ore outlet for discharging fine iron ore particles; a lower iron ore outlet for discharging coarse iron ore particles; a gas distributor installed in a lower portion of a reducing furnace; a gas inlet formed on a lower portion of the reducing furnace for introducing a reducing gas; an iron ore inlet for supplying an iron ore of wide particle size distribution; a circulating duct connected to an upper portion of the reducing furnace for discharging extremely fine iron ore particles together with the reducing gas; a particle capturing device an extremely fine iron ore recycling duct. The fluidized bed reducing furnace includes a cylindrical upper portion and a tapered lower portion, the tapered portion being in a wide-upper-narrow-lower shape.

Title: Method and system for clarifying water
Inventor: KIM ANNABELLE
IPC: B01D29/62
Filed: 1995-03-29
Abstract: A method of washing an upflow filter between service runs employs a filter bed having a non-buoyant particulate filter layer through which influent to be filtered is directed in an upward direction, and through which liquid employed in the washing operation is directed in an upflow direction. A two-stage washing operation includes the steps of first directing a combination of air and liquid in an upflow direction through the filter layer with the velocity of the liquid being less than the minimum fluidization velocity of the filter layer, for disrupting only some floc retained in the filter layer during a previous service run, and thereafter directing only liquid in an upflow direction through the filter layer at a velocity less than the minimum fluidization velocity of the filter layer for removing disrupted floc from the filter layer while leaving some floc attached to said particulate media of the filter layer. The process most preferably is carried out with a filter bed including a coarse, particulate media flocculation layer for distributing the flow of influent and promoting flocculation.

Title: Processor or core logic unit with internal register for peripheral status
Inventor: KLEIN DEAN A
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 1998-12-29
Abstract: A computer system maintains and updates a status register (102, 107) in response to signals containing status information received from several peripheral devices (110, 120, 130), and generates an interrupt to a processor (100). When the processor (100) sevices the interrupt, the processor (100) merely reads the status register (102) to determine which peripheral device requires processing. This is a very fast operation because the status register (102) is internal to the processor (100) or core logic (103). No time consuming polling of peripheral devices (110, 120, 130) is required to determine the status of the peripheral device.

Title: Loop formation in on-machine-seamed press fabrics using unique yarns
Inventor: DAVENPORT FRANCIS L
IPC: D06M101/16
Filed: 1990-01-05
Abstract: A press fabric, for use on papermaking and similar machines, is of the open-ended variety, and has loops at each end enabling it to be closed into endless form during installation on the machine by means of a pin seam. The machine-direction (MD) yarns 1, from which the loops are formed during the flat or endless weaving of the fabric, are coated multifilaments. The coating 3, either permanent, semi-permanent, or soluble, gives the multifilament 2 a monofilament-like structure, enabling good loop formation and stability. The use of multifilament yarn provides a fabric having improved elasticity in the machine direction, and a greater degree of compressibility, following the removal of a soluble coating material, than can be obtained using monofilament yarn.
