Title: Process for producing pig iron or reduced iron
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 1991-09-26
Abstract: A process for producing pig iron is described, which contains a reducing shaft furnace 1 and a melting gasifier 2. The sponge iron produced from iron ores in the reducing shaft furnace is supplied to the melting gasifier and converted there into a pig iron melt. The gas produced in the melting gasifier is supplied directly via a line 4 as reducing gas to the reducing shaft furnace. The blast furnace gas passing out of the reducing shaft furnace, after traversing a CO2 scrubber 6, is at least partly heated in a heat exchanger to 200 DEG to 500 DEG  C. and passed to a partial combustion plant 13 where, accompanied by the addition of oxygen, the gas is heated to the necessary reducing temperature.

Title: Receding horizon based adaptive control having means for minimizing operating costs
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1991-06-19
Abstract: An adaptive and predictive controller has self tuning capabilities, the receding horizon window and sample interval being determined by the tuning mechanism automatically, based on the relationship between the controlled and manipulated variables. The interval and window may be set by the user as well. Constraints on the manipulated and controlled variables at the end of the horizon window are accommodated automatically. In addition to providing servo regulatory control the controller simultaneously minimises operating costs. <IMAGE>

the optical circulator 13, is amplified by another Er 
ion-doped optical fiber 10, and further passes ports 8a 
and 8b of the optical circulator 13 to become an inward 
output optical signal (S9r).

Title: Method for obtaining an impedance value and for processing in a distance protection device.
Inventor: SIMON RUDOLF DR DIPL-ING
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1995-01-18
Abstract: The impedance value is proportional to the distance between a fault location and the measurement position at which the currents and voltages of the transmission lines are measured. A summation current compensation matrix is formed using a given summation current equation involving the summation current, the measured conductor currents, the null system impedance and the with system impedance. The summation current compensation matrix is converted into a phase current compensation matrix by replacing a unit matrix with a complex symmetrical correction matrix so that the summation current and conductor current compensation matrices are identical. The impedance in the distance safety arrangement is compared with stored reference values. A power switch connected to the power transmission lines is triggered or not depending on the comparison result.

Inventor: HEIDER PETER
IPC: H04B17/20
Filed: 1995-05-20
Abstract: The oscillator frequency identification method involves selection of pre-programmed reception parameters for a number of satellite transmitters and selection of several oscillator frequencies, used in turn for tuning the satellite receiver to each of the selected satellite transmitters. The reception quality of each satellite transmitter is determined, the oscillator frequency being logged when reception quality criteria are met and switching to a different oscillator frequency when the reception criteria are not met. Pref. the selected oscillator frequencies are at a given frequency spacing from one another and cover a given frequency interval.
Patent EP-0694884-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KATOH TAISEI
IPC: H04B1/59
Filed: 1995-07-19
Abstract: Prevention of communication errors due to interference
of carrier waves of identical frequency in a moving-body
identification system having a plurality of interrogators (X1,
X2, X3...) is accomplished by providing several interrogators
(X1, X2, X3...) in respective lanes. An oscillator (10) common
to all interrogators (X1, X2, X3...) is provided, and a reference
signal (S6) thereof is input to phase-locked loop circuits (11)
of the interrogators (X1, X2, X3...), divided by an established
fixed ratio, and formed into a carrier wave (S7) of predetermined
frequency f1. The carrier wave (S7) is amplitude-shift modulated
during a first time interval, and unmodulated carrier wave (S2)
of the frequency f1 is output during a second time interval, and
a transponder (Y1, Y2, Y3...) modulates and returns this carrier
wave. Meanwhile, an interrogator (X3) employs a carrier wave of
a frequency which is identical to that of another interrogator
(X1) due to the phase-locked loop (11), and the transmission
states during the first and second time intervals are identical
with those of the second interrogator (X1). Because the
carrier-wave frequencies match completely, beat communication
error due to crosstalk of the carrier waves of the interrogator
X1 and the interrogator X3 does not occur.

Abstract: A self wear compensating valve for controlling flow of a fluid
employs seals for sealing between relatively moving parts. In one
of the parts, an annular recess is formed. A conformable sealing
member (50) is placed in the recess, and a spring (52) biased to expel the
conformable sealing member and press it against a sealing surface
on the other part is provided. An O-ring (66) placed on the outside of
the conformable sealing member prevents leakage of fluid through
the recess outside of the conformable sealing member. As the
conformable sealing member is worn away, after many cycles of the
valve, the spring continues to press it against the sealing
surface, while the O-ring continues to prevent leakage of fluid
outside the conformable sealing member. A rotary valve suitable
for railroad brake applications is provided, which controls flow of
fluid from a supply to the brake cylinder, and provides for exhaust
of fluid from the brake cylinder. The valve has a supply port, a
delivery port and an exhaust. In one position, the supply port is
connected to the delivery port through a passage in the rotor. In
another position, the delivery port is connected to the exhaust
port through a passage in the rotor. In a third position, the lap
position, all the ports are blocked by the relative position of the
rotor and the housing. Proportional control of fluid flow is
provided by elongating the ports on the mating surfaces of the
rotor and the housing in the direction of rotation.

Abstract: A channel assignment system assigns channels to various cells by the
optimal partitioning of the available radio frequencies into non-overlapping sets, the
optimal grouping of co-user cells, and the best assignment of the former to the latter.
The objective is the maximization of traffic handling capacity which, given the
multitude of cells, is expressed as the maximization of a bottleneck capacity ratio.
The  capacity ratio  for a cell is defined as the ratio of the number of radio frequencies
assigned to the cell over the number of radio frequencies needed to meet blocking
probability requirements. The solution to attain an optimal non-regular channel
assignment is decomposed into two mathematical programs designated a Master
Program and a Subprogram. These are solved iteratively with assistance from a
channel set augmentation technique impelmented between solutions of the Master
and Subprogram.

Abstract: Described herein is a printer having a printhead (102) which
traverses laterally across a sheetlike print medium (110) and which thereby
defines a laterally-extending print zone across the print medium. A paper
transport mechanism in the printer has drive rollers (114) and associated pinch
wheels (180) to drive the print medium through the printer's print zone. The
paper transport mechanism further includes an upper print media guide (202)
and a lower print medium guide (126). The two print medium guides are shaped
at their transverse ends to bow the transverse edges of the print medium
downwardly to reduce its tendency to buckle upwardly into the printhead. In
order to fit the upper print medium guide into the limited available space above
the drive rollers, it is made of a lower molded portion (170) for paper contact
and an upper backing portion (172) for rigidity. A pinch finger (191) extends
toward the printer's print zone beyond the pinch wheels to establish a pinch
point (192) against the drive roller in near proximity to the print zone. To
facilitate ejection of printed pages, the upper print medium guide is formed with
a series of ribs (204) which contact the paper. The ribs reduce friction and
static buildup, and make it easier to push the paper from the paper transport
mechanism.
