Abstract: A fast, lightweight, reliable, packet-based protocol (ABC) that operates independent of the type of networking protocol used by the underlying physical layer of the network is disclosed. More specifically, the packet based protocol operates independently of or is capable of encapsulating over physical layer protocols such as but not limited to MAC, Ethernet, Ethernet II, HARD or IP. The protocol defines at least three different types of frames including Information frames, Supervisory frames, and Unnumbered frames. In various embodiments of the invention, the Information, Supervisory, and Unnumbered frames include DSAP and SSAP field with semantics which are sufficiently large to support the various physical layer protocols that may be used on the network. The Information frames, Supervisory frames, and Unnumbered frames also have the ability to support urgent data delivery and certain memory management functions. The protocol is further capable of support the multiplexing of layers higher than the protocol so that multiple higher layer applications may share the same connection. Finally, the protocol of the present invention supports both flow control and congestion control, to help reduce the incidence of lost or dropped packets at a receiving node or over the network respectively.

Title: Method and device for producing continuously cast steel slabs
Inventor: LETZEL DIRK
IPC: B21B13/22
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: Continuously cast products (12) are often provided with surface defects such as oscillation marks (17) and other non-homogeneous structures in the cast state thereof during production in a casting die (11) of a continuous casting plant (10). Defects which render a strip useless for superior applications also frequently occur on the strip surface during subsequent milling of the slab (12") into a strip. The aim of the invention is to minimize said defects and provide the rolling mill with a slab (12") having a desired preliminary profile and an improved near-surface structure. Said aim is achieved by arranging a reducing roll stand (30) in the area of the bending rolls or straightening driver rolls (24) within the continuous casting plant (10). Said reducing roll stand (30) allows the cast billet (12) to be deformed in a specific manner at an early point in time while still having a high temperature and providing a high energy yield after being completely hardened such that the depth of the existing oscillation marks (17) on the cast billet surface (16) is reduced, the finely crystalline edge layer (18) is enlarged as a result of the energy being released which is introduced into the reducing billet (12') during said deformation process, and increased recrystallization occurs and the grains in the deformed edge zone (19) of the slab (12") are refined during the subsequent thermal treatment in a holding furnace (40).
