Title: Method of and device for measuring oxygen activity in slag and consumable type crucible used for said device
IPC: G01N33/20
Filed: 1990-10-15
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and device permitting measurement of oxygen activity in the molten pig iron slag and molten steel slag with high precision. According to the conventional method of measurement depending on the oxygen-concentration cell composed of a one-end-closed tube type solid electrolyte fixed to the tip of the probe, having a contrasting platinum electrode wound around the outer surface thereof, and located directly in the molten slag layer, positioning of the cell in the flowing slag is difficult and insufficient contact of the contrasting electrode with the slag layer is caused on account of thermal contraction of the electroyte resulting from heat of the slag, whereby errors possibly occur in measurement. Unlike the direct measurement of oxygen activity in the slag, this invention provides a method in which a specific metal whose oxygen activity equilibrates with that of the slag when brought into contact with the slag is contained in the same vessel together with the slag and oxygen activity in the specific metal is measured for indirect measurement of oxygen activity in the slag, whereby the problem resulting from insufficient contact of the solid electrolyte with the contrasting electrode can be solved and measurement of oxygen activity in the slag with high precision is ensured.

Title: Data read method and read only memory circuit.
Inventor: HARADA TERUHIRO
IPC: G11C17/12
Filed: 1993-06-28
Abstract: A given column line and a bit line adjacent to it are selected from a plurality of string lines (102-1 to 102-3) and bit lines (101-1 to 101-2) by the string selection signals (Y1 to Y3); and a given row line is selected from a plurality of row lines (103-1 to 103-n) by the row selection signals (X0 to Xn). The data stored in the memory cells (104-01 to 104-n4) which are connected to the selected column line and row line are read out on the selected bit line. The selected column line is made to be at a first potential level (the potential level supplied from a constant-voltage circuit (160)). Substantially at the same time, the selected bit line is made to be at a second potential level (the potential level provided by a sense amplifying circuit (150)) which is lower than the first potential. The column lines which are not selected are made to be at a third potential level (the ground potential level or the potential level provided by a potential supply circuit (190)) which is lower than the second potential level. Then, the data are read out. Therefore, it is possible to read the data at a high speed, and further, to materialize a low power consumption because no reactive current flows.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une technique d'incision d'un matériau au moyen d'un nuage de plasma équilibré. Un générateur à fréquences radioélectriques et un amplificateur de puissance peu onéreux produisent une onde électromagnétique émise à partir d'une sonde à inciser émettrice. Cette onde électromagnétique est adaptée en impédance, en fréquence et en puissance, ce qui permet la génération et le maintien en l'état d'un nuage de plasma équilibré, à faibles turbulence et chaos des particules atomiques, qui forme une couche au-dessus de la surface de la pointe à inciser et contribue à réduire la demande énergétique qui est exigée de l'amplificateur. On utilise également cette onde électromagnétique pour engendrer un effet de rétrécissement et ce, afin de comprimer le nuage de plasma, en définir les contours, lui donner une forme et le maîtriser. On utilise, de surcroît, cette onde électromagnétique pour piéger et contenir le nuage de plasma sans devoir recourir à une cuve de confinement, faite d'un matériau solide, en conformité avec l'effet physique de la bouteille magnétique. On utilise l'effet tunnel de la chimie physique pour amplifier l'énergie envoyée au nuage plasmatique équilibré tout en protégeant la matière entourant le trajet d'incision prévu d'une éventuelle exposition aux rayonnements. Ce système permet de procéder à une incision dans un matériau de façon efficace, en toute sécurité, proprement et à peu de frais.
