Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING  FEEDWATER TO A FORCED FLOW BOILER            ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          An apparatus and method of supplying feedwater to a  forced flow boiler or the  like as  described.   A positive  displacement pump having  a plurality of dis-crete  pumping  elements  is  arranged  to  pump  feedwater from an inlet to the boiler.  The pump includes bypass valves which,  when open,  disable the pumping action of an associated pumping element.  Control means responsive to the demand for water in the boiler are arranged to disable  a  selected  number of  the pumping  elements  so that the  rate  of  water  supplied  by  the  remaining elements,  if  operated  continuously,  would  just  exceed that required.  The control means is further arranged to disable at least one of the remaining pumping elements on a periodic basis so that the ratio of time that the element is enabled to the time for one period multiplied by  the  water  flow  rate  supplied  by  said  element,  if operated continuously,  equals the difference between the total  demand  for  water  and  the  rate  supplied  by  the pumping elements enabled on a full-time basis.

Abstract: ABSTRACT            Method and Apparatus for Detecting Slag in a Flowing Molten Metal A method of detecting the presence of slag in the flow of a molten metal, e.g. from a metallurgical vessel, includes passing an electric current which contains a plurality of frequencies through a transmitting coil 3 which extends around the flow path of the molten metal.  The voltage induced in  a  receiving coil 4 which also extends around the flow path of the molten metal is analysed as regards the magnitude and phase of the different frequencies.  The temperature of the melt is also continuously monitored and the values obtained during the analysis of the spectral pattern of the induced voltage is modified using the obtained temperature values. The resultant values are indicative of local conductivity across the cross-sectional area of the flowing molten metal and thus of the proportion of slag present.  The values obtained may be used to initiate the closing of a sliding valve controlling the discharge of the metal-surgical vessel.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A general safe retract and return function is provided for a machine tool which is easily programmed for all cases to avoid collision and interference between the workpiece and tool and to reduce the damage or imperfection in the surface of the machined workpiece caused by the termination and/or resumption of machining.  The general safe retract and return function includes parameters defining incremental retract and entry vectors relative to the direction of the machining path in the region of the interrupted point.  Preferably the tool and workpiece are reengaged at the interrupted point along an entry ventor which is at a grazing angle with respect to the reverse of the tool feed direction along the machining path, thereby avoiding remachining of the workpiece  but providing a smooth surface finish.  Preferably the general safe retract and return function interprets programmer specified conditional expressions to determine when logical jumps should be performed to disengage the tool and workpiece and execute respective user-defined interrupt subroutines for corrective action.          Preferably the logical jump for certain limit conditions or trigger signals is conditional based upon the engagement and disengagement of the tool and workpiece as specified by rapid traverse and feed rate moves, beginning and ending distances for the feed rate moves, and the depth of cut at the beginning and ending points of the feed rate moves.

Abstract: ABSTRACT   An improved current-sensing arrangement and method are provided for supplying a signal that suitably represents line current over a wide current range. The current-sensing arrangement utilizes the signals from an iron core transformer and an air core transformer along with transition and scaling arrangements to provide the sensed current signal. The range of operation includes currents for which the iron core transformer exhibits saturation effects and currents for which the air core transformer does not contribute to the combined output signal. Additionally, the range of operation includes currents for which both the transformers contribute to the combined output signal. The output of the iron core transformer dominatesthe combined output signal for low currents, the output of the air core transformer dominates at high currents, and the transition from the domination of the iron core transformer to the air core transformer is gradual and occurs over a mid-range of current with contribution from both transformers.   Accordingly, the combined output signal suitably represents the sensed current over a wide current range due to the contribution of the iron core trans-former at low currents where no saturation effects are present and the contribution of the air core transformer at high currents with no saturation characteristic; a smooth transition being provided over a wide current range where both transformers contribute to the output and dominant contribution being provided by the trans-former that is most accurate for the particular current.
