Title: Method and apparatus for controlling temperature uniformity of the burden in a direct reduction shaft furnace
Inventor: METIUS GARY E
IPC: C21B13/02
Filed: 2002-12-12
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing hydrocarbon input to a direct reduction shaft furnace (12) while controlling the temperature uniformity of the center portion (26) of the burden within the furnace (12) wherein the hydrocarbon gases used in the direct reduction may be preheated, which increases the temperature of the hydrocarbon gases, and therefore increases the resultant temperature of the upflowing gas as it rises from the lower section (66) of the furnace (12) into the center (26) of the burden. Alternatively, a portion of the upflowing gas may be removed before it enters the reduction zone of the furnace. The removed upflowing gas, known as hot bleed gas, may be ducted to the top gas scrubber (32) of the furnace or may be mixed with the main reducing gas stream of the furnace for reintroduction to the furnace. Alternatively, hot reducing gas may be directly injected into the center portion (26) of the burden, offsetting the cooling effect of the upflowing gas. The centrally injected hot reducing gas may be split off from the main reducing gas stream or may be generated by a partial oxidation reactor.
Patent CA-2513945-C (CA)
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2005-07-27
Granted: 2013-09-24
Abstract: A surgical instrument includes an E-beam firing bar engages the channel and selectively engages the anvil during distal firing movements, wherein the tissue is severed and stapled driven upward from the staple cartridge to form against the anvil. In particular, a wedge integral to the staple cartridge is driven distally by a middle pin of the firing bar to effect stapling. A single lockout of the staple channel responds to the presence of the wedge sled in its unfired position to allow the firing bar to fire. Otherwise, the single lockout prevents firing when the staple cartridge is missing or spent. Further, some versions include an Electroactive Polymer (EAP) actuator that presents an abutting surface, or acts as a trapdoor to a ramped recess in a staple channel to block the firing bar, as an active approach to preventing firing for one or more conditions.

Title: Dynamic memory management of unallocated memory in a legal partitioned data processing system
Inventor: KASHYAP SUJATHA
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2005-04-26
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: A method, system, and program for dynamic memory management of unallocated memory in a logical partitioned data processing system. A logical partitioned data processing system typically includes multiple memory units, processors, I/O adapters, and other resources enabled for allocation to multiple logical partitions. A partition manager operating within the data processing system manages allocation of the resources to each logical partition. In particular, the partition manager manages allocation of a first portion of the multiple memory units to at least one logical partition. In addition, the partition manager manages a memory pool of unallocated memory from among the multiple memory units. Responsive to receiving a request for a memory loan from one of the allocated logical partitions, a second selection of memory units from the memory pool is loaned to the requesting logical partition. The partition manager, however, is enabled to reclaim the loaned selection of memory units from the requesting logical partition at any time.
