Patent EP-1275450-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STEBNER GUIDO DR
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: The assembly for continuous casting a molten metal into a strip, especially of molten steel, has two axially parallel casting rollers (2,3) which rotate against each other. The rollers define a casting gap (4) between them with side sealing plates (6,7) to contain the well of molten steel over the gap. The side sealing plates have a rotating movement around an axis (10) which is parallel to the roller axes (8,9). The side sealing plates are of a hard material with high wear resistance e.g. zirconium oxide, zirconium borite, aluminum oxide and/or silicon carbide. The ends of the rollers are coated with a wear-resistant cladding (15-18) of a high wear resistant steel, chrome carbide or tungsten carbide, nickel or graphite.

Abstract: A control system sets a set maximum speed of a utility vehicle
(20), below the capable maximum speed of the vehicle (20), and
recalibrates speed output signals corresponding to the set
maximum speed. The system includes a microcontroller (52) and
a user-operated vehicle speed actuator, signal-connected to
the microcontroller (52). The speed actuator is calibrated to
actuate speeds, via the microcontroller (52), in a range from
a minimum speed to a maximum speed. A user-operated speed set
activator is used in conjunction with a ground speed sensor
(46) to set the set maximum speed. The microcontroller (52)
records the new maximum speed of the vehicle (20), and
recalibrates the speed actuator position according to the new
maximum speed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a helpdesk service comprises receiving an electronic request from a user for help on a specified problem, automatically performing a search in a knowledge base system to find potential solutions to the problem, and assigning a confidence rating to each potential solution found. If any potential solutions are found with confidence ratings greater than a threshold value, they are automatically returned to the user without involving a human agent. If no potential solution is found with a confidence rating greater than a threshold value, the request is automatically passed to a human agent for action. Any potential solutions with confidence ratings lower than the threshold value but greater than a second, lower threshold value are automatically presented to the agent as suggested solutions.

Abstract: A service module incorporated within the network infrastructure intercepts packets communicated between a client and a server to determine whether the connection corresponds to one of a plurality of service applications that may supported by the service module. If so, the service module breaks the connection by terminating the connection with the client at the service module and opening a separate connection between the service module and the server. The service application may then perform application-specific process of the data communicated between the client and server. In order to increase processing efficiency associated with classifying the connection between the client and the server, the service module stores classification rules in a plurality of hashing tables, with hash conflicts arranged as an m-ary tree structure. This arrangement enables the service module to efficiently search for classification rules and resolve hash conflicts without imposing a significant processing penalty.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling vibrations in a rotor stage rotating
through core gas flow is provided. The apparatus includes a source of high-pressure
gas and a plurality of ports (50) for dispensing high-pressure gas.
The rotor stage (34) rotates through core gas flow (23) having a plurality of
circumferentially distributed first (70) and second (72) regions. Core gas
flow within each first and second region travels at a first and a second
velocity, respectively. The first velocity is substantially higher than the second
velocity. The ports dispensing the high-pressure gas are selectively positioned
upstream of the rotor blades, and aligned with the second regions such that
high-pressure gas exiting the ports enters the second regions. The velocity of
core gas flow in the second regions consequently increases, and substantially
decreases the difference in core gas flow velocity between the first and second
regions.
