Abstract: A three-stage process for obtaining metallic Cr units in-situ during the production of stainless steel. Raw chromite ore or a concentrate produced from chromite ore is mixed with a carbonaceous reductant and slagging agents are added to an iron bath (24) for smelting and refining in a refining reactor (10). During the first stage, partially metallized chromite is smelted by carbon in the reactor that is top-and bottom-blown with oxygen and oxygen-containing gases respectively to produce a chromium alloy bath having a carbon content well below saturation. In the second stage, the alloy bath is decarburized by being bottom stirred with the oxygen-containing gas to the final bath carbon specification. In the third stage, the alloy bath is reduced by a metalloid reductant such as silicon or a metallic reductant such as aluminum and again bottom stirred but with a non-oxidizing gas to achieve a high chromium yield. The reactor includes a top lance (18) extending through a throat (14) with a lower portion (20) of the lance extending to a point just above the bath and means (22) such as a tuyere or porous plug mounted at or near a bottom (16) and extending through a refractory lining (12) for stirring the iron bath containing dissolved carbon. Lance (18) includes a central passage for injecting a compact, focused jet oxygen gas (30) that can penetrate through a slag layer (26) for decarburization of the iron bath and an outer passage for discharging an oxygen gas (28) above the bath for post-combustion of CO to CO2. Passage includes a plurality of evenly spaced annular diverging nozzles. The lance also includes a pair of concentric conduits for conducting a coolant. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer system takes as input an initial fault hierarchy KB0 and a set of annotated session transcripts C = ä&lang& pi j, rj&rang&ü and is given a specified set of revision operators T = äθiü where each θi  ELEMENT  T maps a fault hierarchy KB to a slightly different hierarchy θi(KB). This revised fault hierarchy θi(KB) is called a neighbor of KB, and the set of all neighbors of KB, N(KB)=äθi(KB) ü, is KB'S neighborhood. The computer system uses T to hill climb from the initial fault hierarchy KB0, through successive hierarchies, KB1... KBm, with successively higher empirical accuracies over C. The final hierarchy, KBm, is a local optimum in the space defined by the revision operators. At each stage, to go from a fault hierarchy KBi to its neighbor KBi+1, the present invention must evaluate KBi's accuracy over C, as well as the accuracy of each KB'  ELEMENT  N(KBi). If any KB' is found to be more accurate than KBi, this KB<*> hierarchy becomes the new standard, labeled KBi+1, and the theory revision process iterates, seeking a neighbor of this KBi+1, that is more accurate than KBi+1 over the set of examples C, and so forth. Otherwise, if no KB' is more accurate than KBi, the hill climbing process will return this KBi, and terminate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low voltage analog front end (AFE) includes a differential transistor pair which converts an input voltage, typically A.C.-coupled to the pair's control inputs, to a differential current. Impedance networks connected to each transistor's control input are joined together at a common node, and a current source is connected to the node which causes DC bias currents to be mirrored through the pair's current circuits, so that the AFE's differential output current comprises a differential current produced by the pair in response to an input voltage and superimposed on the DC bias currents. The current source preferably generates mirrored currents which are larger than its reference current to linearize the pair's response and to provide the AFE with a wide dynamic range. An input to the AFE sees a low impedance which is about equal to the sum of the impedance networks, which can be resistive or complex as needed. The AFE has widespread application as a front end circuit, serving as a low voltage input stage for a Gilbert mixer, for example. By generating bias currents via the pair's control inputs, supply voltage headroom requirements are reduced, improving a system's dynamic range and/or enabling the use of lower voltage power supplies. The AFE can be configured as either a differential or single-ended voltage-to-differential current converter.
