Abstract: A process for direct smelting metalliferous feed material is disclosed. Iron oxides are partially reduced in a solid state in a pre-reduction vessel. The partially reduced iron oxides are smelted to molten iron in a direct smelting vessel which contains a molten bath of iron and slag and is supplied with a solid carbonaceous material as a source of reductant and energy and with an oxygen-containing gas for post-combusting carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated in the vessel. The direct smelting step generates an off-gas that contains sulphur and the off-gas is released from the direct smelting vessel. Part only of the off-gas released from the direct smelting vessel is used in the pre-reduction step to pre-reduce iron oxides in the pre-reduction vessel. Part only of the off-gas is used in the pre-reduction step in order to control the amount of sulphur that is returned with the partially reduced iron oxides to the direct smelting vessel.

Abstract: Die Erfindung schafft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Halbleiterspeicherbauelements, insbesondere eines DRAM bzw. FRAM, mit einem Siliziumsubstrat, einer auf diesem angeordneten Zwischenoxidschicht (1), auf welcher eine obere Schicht (3) aus einem ferroelektrischen Material oder aus einem Material hoher Dielektrizitätskonstante angeordnet ist, wobei ein sich bis zur Grenzfläche zwischen dem Siliziumsubstrat und der oberen Schicht erstreckendes Kontaktloch (8) mittels Ätzen ausgehend von einer Öffnung (5) einer Lochmaske eingebracht wird, das in einem vorausgehenden Schritt ausgebildet wurde. Für die Lochmaske wird ein hochtemperaturbeständiges Material verwendet, und zwar hochtemperaturbeständig deshalb, damit ohne Degradation dieser Schicht die spätere Abscheidung von O3-TEOS-SiO2 auf diese Schicht (z.B. Polyimid) erfolgen kann. Das Ätzen wird mittels der Lochmaske in die Zwischenoxidschicht (1) hinein unter Ausbildung einer Eintiefung (8') ausgeführt. Auf die derart gewonnene Struktur wird eine Schicht aus O3/TEOS-SiO2 abgeschieden. Die Schicht aus O3/TEOS-SiO2 vom Boden der Eintiefung (8') wird durch Ätzen entfernt, und die Eintiefung (8') wird daraufhin durch Ätzen zur Erzeugung des Kontaktloches bis zur Grenzfläche zum Siliziumsubstrat unter Freilegung desselben abgesenkt.

Abstract: A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with the ability to tune its operating frequency over a wide range using a limited control voltage range. The VCO implements a novel resonant circuit that provides the wide frequency tuning range and simultaneously provides increased immunity to induced low frequency noise. The resonant circuit utilizes an element configuration that includes high pass filters (402, 422 and 404, 424) on each input to the resonant circuit. Varactor diodes (432, 434) are used to couple a conventional tuning circuit to the remainder of the resonant circuit. This configuration allows the resonant frequency to tune over a wide range using a limited control voltage range.

Abstract: Foaming of a resinous backing ( 2 ) to a glass sheet ( 1 ) is frustrated at the interface ( 3 ) with the glass by maintaining the glass sheet ( 1 ) cool during formation of the foam. The degree of foaming is nil at the interface ( 3 ) to effect a strong bond there, and increases progressively through the thickness of the foam body ( 2 ) away from the interface ( 3 ). The foam body ( 2 ) is backed by glass-fibre cloth ( 4 ) that is impregnated with the resin from which the foaming gas has been vented so as to bond the cloth ( 4 ) to the body ( 2 ) and to an outer aluminium foil ( 5 ). The glass sheet ( 3 ) may be a mirror, and may be replaced by a glass laminate ( 20;23 ) that includes a fused-powder coating ( 22;25 ) with or without an aluminium foil backing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un régulateur de rapport air-carburant de moteurs thermiques capable d'évaluer correctement les conditions de détérioration d'un dispositif catalyseur tout en assurant une efficacité d'épuration dudit dispositif présent dans un tuyau d'échappement du moteur thermique. Un rapport cible air-carburant KCMD d'un gaz d'échappement en amont du dispositif catalyseur (3) est séquentiellement déterminé de sorte que les sorties VO2/SORTIE d'un capteur (6) d'O2 en aval du dispositif catalyseur (3) convergent vers une valeur cible prédéterminée VO2/CIBLE et une quantité de carburant vers le moteur (1) est régulée de manière que les sorties KACT d'un capteur (5) air-carburant convergent vers ce rapport air-carburant cible KCMD. Ainsi, pendant la régulation, on détermine une valeur σ de la fonction linéaire d'évaluation de détérioration au moyen de données en séries temporelles de composants variables des sorties VO2/SORTIE du capteur (6) d'O2, et la valeur centrale du carré de σ2 de la valeur est déterminée comme paramètre d'évaluation de détérioration, les conditions de détérioration du dispositif catalyseur (3) étant évaluées en fonction de ce paramètre.

Abstract: A fault current detection system is provided. The detection system detects a fault current generated on a conductive path supplying power to an electric device and prevents the fault current from being supplied to the electric device. In particular, the detection system contains a detector, a switch, and a controller. The detector detects a fault current generated on the conductive path and outputs a corresponding detection signal. The controller inputs the detection signal and determines predetermined characteristics of the fault current based on said detection signal. Then, the controller identifies the fault current as a first type of fault current based on the predetermined characteristics and sets a trigger current to a first trigger current value when the fault current is identified as the first type of fault current. Also, the controller outputs a control signal to the switch to instruct the switch to isolate the electric device from the conductive network when the fault current is greater than the trigger current. In addition, a software program performed by the fault current detection system is also provided.
