Title: Water cooling system for continuous casting equipment
Inventor: HEKTOEN LEIF
IPC: B22D11/055
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: Device in connection with a water-cooling system for direct chill semi- continuous casting equipment for casting metal, in particular casting aluminium ingots (14). The solution comprises one or more chills (9) arranged in a frame structure with an integral water distribution box (18). The chill(s) comprise(s) a mould chamber surrounded by permeable wall elements (10) for the supply of oil and/or gas and is(are) open at the top with an opening (13) for the supply of molten metal and, at the start of each casting operation, is(are) closed at the bottom by means of a mobile support. The metal is cooled in two stages, by primary cooling in the mould chamber and secondary cooling by direct water cooling immediately below the primary cooling area. A separate cooling circuit called the recooling circuit is arranged to cool the chills after the end of the casting cycle. The recooling (1, 2, 3) and secondary cooling (11, 19) thus consist of two separate cooling circuits. The recooling circuit comprises one or more cooling ducts (3) in the chill wall with supply and outflow pipe systems (1 and 2). The secondary cooling circuit comprises a water distribution chamber (11) which is connected to all the chills (9) of the equipment and which distributes water to drilled holes or a water distribution slit (19) around the circumference of the chill.

Patent CA-2350649-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BORIEUX PHILIPPE
IPC: G11B19/00
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: The detection method is characterised by a touch-sensitive control disc (200) associated with a dynamoelectric module detecting said disc rotation, controlling digital data reading and the operation of members and/or devices. Said dynamoelectric module (300), by the fact that its rotor is coupled in rotation with the disc, permanently and simultaneously translates, by loading and modulating of the direct current voltage it generates, the variations in direction and speed of said disc rotation. Said proportional electrical characteristics are converted into digital data so as to control the direction and speed for reading the data stored in a memory observing the fine variations of rotation direction and speed exerted on the control disc. Said disc sensitivity generates, by contact with the user, a signal enabling to control said operation of member(s).

Title: Densitometer diagnostic system for an image-forming machine
Inventor: PATTERSON KENNETH M
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: The invention provides a diagnostic system for a densitometer in an image-forming machine. An image-forming machine with a densitometer diagnostic system may have a photoconductor, one or more chargers, an exposure machine, a toning station, and a densitometer. A densitometer diagnostic system for an image-forming machine may have an emitter, a collector, amplifier circuitry, and diagnostic circuitry. The diagnostic circuitry reduces the drive current to the emitter in the densitometer by a known or calculable value. The output voltage from the amplifier circuitry in the densitometer is reduced in proportion to the reduction in the drive current.  To perform diagnostic testing of the densitometer, a first output voltage is obtained from the densitometer without the diagnostic circuitry connected. A second output voltage is obtained from the densitometer with the diagnostic circuitry connected.  When the difference in first and second output voltages matches an output voltage specification, the densitometer is functional. The diagnostic circuitry may be removed from the densitometer when not in use. Alternatively, the densitometer may have a switch to disconnect the diagnostic circuitry when not in use.

Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A method (32) of valuation of large groups of assets (12) by partial full underwriting (14), partial sample underwriting (34) and inferred values (40) of the remainder using an iterative and adaptive supervised (206) and unsupervised (208) statistical evaluation of all assets and statistical inferences drawn from the evaluation and applied to generate the inferred asset values. Individual asset values are developed and listed in relational tables so that individual asset values can be rapidly taken from the tables and quickly grouped in any desired or prescribed manner for bidding purposes.  The assets are collected into a database (76), divided into categories by credit variable, subdivided by ratings as to those variables and then rated individually. The assets are then regrouped according to a bidding grouping and collective valuations established by cumulating the individual valuations.

Abstract: The invention provides a means of disambiguation that is rule-driven. T he user is relieved of understanding the details of how the disambiguation is being done. In some cases two tables can be joined by more than one association or criteria on the row values of selected columns, to produce wh at is effectively a wider table, and this may result in an ambiguity of which join should be used. The system described in this invention makes use of rules such that the user is not faced with a decision as to which rule to use but rather system makes the choice based on clear transformation rules which relate to folders or groups of the tables and their associations
