Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separation of valuable metal from a mixture of molten materials, which contains the valuable metal, but which mainly consists of molten slag. The characteristic features are that there is established a stream (13) of said mixture of molten materials and that water is sprayed against the stream of the liquid mixture of molten materials in such an amount and with such force that the mixture is disintegrated (is fragmented) to form drops or fragments of varying sizes, which are rapidly cooled to form a granulate consisting of a coarse fraction (B), which contains the main part of the valuable metal, and a finer fraction (A), which contains the main part of the slag of the initial mixture.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reducing the likelihood of damage to wire leads of undulated coils for dynamo-electric machine stators are provided. The invention provides a rotating winding head equipped with a coil former that has a wire gripper and an initial wire lead slot. The gripper retains the initial wire lead. The slot permits the initial wire lead to be fed to the gripper from a stationary wire source. The gripper maintains the initial wire lead in a predetermined plane of the coil and can secure the initial wire lead in the plane in which the final lead wire will eventually be disposed. The gripper also rotates the initial wire lead into radial alignment with a lobe of the undulated coil. Once installed in a stator, the initial and final wire leads can both be disposed along the outer radius of the coil and are thus protected from interference with a rotor that is destined to rotate within the stator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A software facility for automatically identifying subnetworks in a network is described. The facility receives a plurality of addresses of hosts in the network, and accesses a binary tree. The nodes of the binary tree each represent a range of addresses within the network. A facility traverses the binary tree to identify candidate nodes where both child nodes have one or more descendent leaf nodes representing host addresses. The facility tests the address range represented by each candidate node visited in the traversal to determine whether the address range is a subnet address range for a subnet being used on the network. If testing indicates that a visited candidate node represents such an address range, the facility identifies the visited candidate node as a subnet node. The facility skips, in the traversal, any candidate notes that are descendents of an identified subnet node.

A first detector is disposed to receive reflected light back from the products and has a first field of view larger than the light beam cross sectional area, the first detector being sensitive to substantially all of the direct and diffused reflected light from the products and generating a first signal corresponding thereto. A second detector also receives the reflected light and has a second field of view generally equal to the cross sectional area of the light beam. The second detector is sensitive to substantially only the direct reflected light from the products and generates a second signal corresponding thereto. Control circuitry causes a removal mechanism to remove impurities o products from the stream of products based on the signals from the first and second detectors individually or a difference between the signals.

Abstract: A system and method for making computer-generated maps includes a different scale factor for each road in a route. The scale factors are used to optimize the route map against a target function that considers factors such as the number of false intersections in the route and the number of roads falling below a minimum length threshold. A refinement technique such as simulated annealing is used to find a solution to the target function. Each road in the scaled map is rendered to provide a finished product having the appearance of a hand-drawn map. The finished product includes context roads that intersect the main route but are not part of the main route. Furthermore, the hand-drawn map is optimized to the characteristics of the viewport used to visualize the map.
