Title: Apparatus for manufacturing molten iron by injecting fine coals into a melter-gasifier and the method using the same
Inventor: KWON YOUNG-CHUL
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 2005-07-29
Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing molten iron by injecting fine carbonaceous materials into a melter-gasifier and a method for manufacturing molten iron using the same. The method for manufacturing molten iron according to the present invention includes steps of reducing mixtures containing iron ores in a reduction reactor and converting the mixtures containing iron ores into reduced materials, preparing lumped carbonaceous materials containing volatile matters as a heating source for melting the reduced materials, charging the lumped carbonaceous materials into a dome-shaped upper portion of a melter-gasifier and forming a coal packed bed, preparing fine carbonaceous materials containing volatile matters as a heating source for melting the reduced materials, injecting oxygen and the fine carbonaceous materials into the coal packed bed through a tuyere installed in the melter-gasifier, charging the reduced materials into the melter-gasifier connected to the reduction reactor and manufacturing molten iron, and supplying reducing gas in the melter-gasifier made from volatile matters contained both in the lumped carbonaceous materials and the fine carbonaceous materials to the reduction reactor.

Abstract: A scanner determines whether a target is a bar code symbol and, if so, whether that symbol is one-dimensional or two-dimensional. For two-dimensional symbols, the scanner aligns a scanning pattern with the symbol and expands the scanning pattern to reach only to the top and bottom edges of the symbol, not beyond. The scanner also has a microprocessor-control scanning engine that uses a coil to drive a scanning element and pick up feed back signals from the scanning element. A pulse-width-modulated regulator also provides fast and efficient operation for driving the coil. The scanning engine can also be designed to generate a pattern that precesses across the target, and a powerful interface to the scanning engine allows decoding and control logic to work efficiently with and independently of the scan engine.

Title: Domain-driven abbreviated dialing
Inventor: KLEIN MARK D
IPC: H04M1/72457
Filed: 2006-01-24
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: A domain-driven abbreviated dialing method and system allow a user to dial a telephone number using an abbreviated dial string, such as for example the last M digits of a telephone number, where M is an integer less than the length of the telephone number. The abbreviated dial string is automatically resolved to a full telephone number and the number is dialed. If the user's entry cannot be unambiguously resolved, the user can be prompted to select among a limited set of candidate numbers to dial; alternatively, the system can make a "best guess". Previous dialing behavior, known characteristics of the user, user preferences, location, domain, and/ or any combination thereof can be used in order to determine which telephone number the user intends to call.

Abstract: A packet switch that scales gracefully from a capacity of a fraction of a terabit per second to thousands of terabits per second has edge nodes interconnected by independent switch units. The switch units are arranged in a matrix having multiple rows and multiple columns. A switch unit is implemented as an instantaneous space switch or as a latent space switch. Each edge node has a channel to a switch unit in each column and a channel from each switch unit in a selected column. A simple path traversing only one of the switch units may be established from each edge node to each other edge node. Where needed, a compound path concatenating at most two simple paths may be established for any edge-node pair. In a preferred configuration, the switch units connect at input to orthogonal sets of edge nodes. A distributed control system expedites connection-request processing.

La projection du motif de répartition d'énergie sur la surface éclairée est ensuite générée. La projection est ensuite comparée au motif prédéterminé de surface illuminée afin de déterminer s'il correspond de manière acceptable. Le procédé se poursuit de manière réitérative jusqu'à ce qu'une correspondance acceptable soit obtenue. En variante, la forme de l'objectif est déterminée numériquement ou analytiquement grâce à une relation fonctionnelle entre la forme et le motif prédéterminé de surface illuminée ainsi que le motif prédéterminé de répartition d'énergie d'une source de lumière comme entrées.

Abstract: An integrated optical auto focus and zooming system is provided, which includes a first optical lens, a first hollow casing, a second hollow casing, a plurality of piezoelectric elements. The first optical lens is placed in the first hollow casing, the first hollow casing and the second hollow casing are screwed with each other, and the plurality of piezoelectric elements are attached either on the first hollow casing or the second hollow casing. Upon the excitation of mechanical vibrations by the plurality of piezoelectric elements, a traveling wave is generated on the attached casing to drive the other casing by the screw threads, and to generate the relative rotation and axial movement between the first casing and the second casing, therefore achieving the objectives of focusing and zooming. The present invention integrates the motor into the lens and hence eliminates the transmission mechanism, leading to simple structure, high efficiency, and multiple advantages in size, cost, and efficiency, etc., and thus can be very useful.
