Patent EP-0877822-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KEPPLINGER LEOPOLD WERNER
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: In a method of producing molten pig iron (9) or steel pre-products from lump ore which in at least one reduction zone is reduced to partially and/or completely reduced sponge iron (4) in a shaft furnace, the sponge iron (4) is melted down in a melt-down gasifying zone (8) of a melter gasifier (1) under supply of carbon-containing material (2) and oxygen and while simultaneously forming a reducing gas. To ensure that there will be a specific gap volume in the bed (13) of solid carbon carriers (2) even when charging fine-particle sponge iron (14) and hence that the bed (13) of solid carbon carriers (2) will be thoroughly flown through by gas, at least the sponge iron (4) is charged to the melt-down gasifying zone (8) discontinually, under formation of areas (14) of piled-up sponge iron which are embedded in the bed (13) of carbon carriers (2) and which are superposed and which are separated by solid carbon carriers (2), wherein each of the areas (14) of piled-up sponge iron while sparing a cross section zone (15) of the melt-down gasifying zone (8) extends over the cross section of the same and wherein the reducing gas forming the melt-down gasifying zone (8) flows past the areas (14) of piled-up sponge iron under melting of the same and upwards through the cross section zones (15) that are free from sponge iron and formed from carbon carriers (2), and flows through these zones.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à corriger la distorsion de phase qui apparaît dans un signal de sortie amplifié en puissance en réaction à la puissance de sortie d'un amplificateur de puissance. Elle concerne également un dispositif servant à corriger une distorsion de phase. Ce dispositif comprend une boucle de verrouillage de phase et de conversion vers le haut (30-39) reliée à l'entrée d'un amplificateur de puissance (40). La solution consiste à réalimenter un circuit (35) en une partie du signal (epha) à amplifier, ce qui combine le premier signal avec une partie du signal amplifié (eout) renvoyé depuis la sortie de l'amplificateur de puissance (40), de manière à effecteur une transition douce de la dominance d'un signal par rapport à l'autre signal quand les deux signaux sont combinés afin d'obtenir un nouveau signal de rétroaction (efdb) depuis le circuit de combinaison (35).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un mécanisme de nettoyage in situ d'une enceinte, procédé dans lequel un gaz de traitement est injecté dans l'enceinte par des orifices d'injection de gaz. L'invention concerne des orifices séparés d'injection de gaz par lesquels un gaz de traitement et le gaz de nettoyage sont injectés dans l'enceinte. Le gaz de traitement est injecté dans l'enceinte, tel qu'une enceinte à plasma (30), à travers un premier orifice (62) d'injection de gaz alors que le gaz de nettoyage, qui nettoie le résidu laissé par le gaz de traitement pendant le procédé de déposition, est injecté dans l'enceinte par le deuxième orifice (60) d'injection de gaz, séparé du premier orifice d'injection de gaz par lequel le gaz de traitement est injecté. La séparation des orifices d'injection de gaz permet d'obtenir une pression équilibrée à l'intérieur des orifices des vis à jet destinées au gaz de traitement et à l'intérieur de l'enceinte, ce qui permet un nettoyage maximal des orifices des vis à jet et réduit la fréquence de remplacement des orifices des vis à jet dans l'enceinte.

IPC: B65G17/06
Filed: 1998-06-09
Abstract: A conveyor belt with rods and connective links that engage one another so
as to resist lateral deflection and rotational movement about the rods during
conveyor operation. The links are mechanically affixed on the rods and the rod is
resistance welded to the link apertures. In addition to the resistance weld, the rods
include diametrically enlarged protrusions or swells that are placed proximate the
link apertures to constrain the links from lateral movement on the rod. At the ends
of the rod, the protrusions are in the form of an upset or button head. An
alternative embodiment comprises rods having a larger diameter through most of
their length, and reduced diameter portions at their ends where they are attached to
the connective links. The larger diameter allows for the construction of wider
conveying surfaces. Further alternative embodiments include rotational constraints
of the links relative to the rod. The additional fixation steps such as manual welding
used in conventional belt manufacture are thus eliminated. By fixing the links and
rods together in the manner disclosed, repeated movements of the link legs relative
to the rods are eliminated thereby significantly reducing the chances of fatigue
failure of the links.

invention eliminates mixing losses which would otherwise occur when two chambers of
differing pressures communicate with each other or at discharge. Vibration and noise
are also reduced.
