IPC: F27B3/19
Filed: 2001-03-16
Granted: 2012-08-01
Abstract: Direct smelting plant for producing molten metal from a metalliferous feed material induces a smelting vessel (11) to hold a molten metal and slag bath beneath a hot gas space. Solids injection lances (27) extend downwardly and inwardly through side walls of the vessel and hot oxidising gas is directed downwardly into the gas space by a central vertical gas injection lance (26). The plant layout is divided into four functional zones spaced circumferentially around vessel (11) and radiating outwardly from the vessel. Zone 1 contains an overhead hot gas delivery duct (31) supplying gas to lance (26) and an offgas duct (32); Zone 2 contains a forehearth (19) and forehearth tapping launder (34); zone 3 contains slag notches (45) and slag launders (46); and Zone 4 contains a primary slag drain taphole and launder (48). This layout minimises the potential for interference between the transport of the hot gases, the metalliferous feed material, and the molten metal and slag. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily narrow the abnormal place of an ejector assembly down and to diagnose both of abnormality due to too much load and abnormality due to too little load to perceive trouble beforehand. SOLUTION: Trial operation is performed to set the upper and lower limit values of the load torque of a servo motor. At the time of automatic operation, the load torque of the servo motor is detected and the detected value is set as history and renewed by the set number of times to be recorded. When the detected value of load torque is not more than the lower limit value, load is diagnosed to be abnormally lowered in a moving mechanism and a part becoming the candidate of a too little load factor is displayed along with history data. When the detected value of load torque is not less than the upper limit value, load is diagnosed to be abnormally increased in the moving mechanism and a part becoming the candidate of a too much load factor is displayed along with history data.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electronic equipment or the like capable of making a learning result for recognition usable on other electronic equipment. SOLUTION: When a user performs a voice input to external equipment 20, he/she inputs an instruction for a request to a portable information processing machine 10 in voice, and the portable information processing machine 10 sends an external equipment use request to the external equipment 20. When the external equipment 20 receives the use request, it requests the portable information processing machine 10 to use a recognition module. When the portable information processing machine 10 receives this request from the external equipment 20, it sends the recognition module to the external equipment 20. The external equipment 20 receives the recognition module and performs a display to urge the user to input a voice on the screen. When the user performs voice-inputting, the external equipment 20 performs recognition by using the recognition module, and responds according to the input.  When the user informs the external equipment that the use of the external equipment 20 is ended, the external equipment 20 deletes the data after a set time.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing an audio signal with regard to rhythm information of the audio signal comprises a filterbank for dividing the audio signal into at least two sub-band signals. Every sub-band signal is examined with regard to a periodicity of the sub-band signal to obtain rhythm raw-information of every sub-band signal. The rhythm raw-information is subjected to a quality evaluation to obtain a significance measure for every sub-band signal. The rhythm information of the audio signal will finally be established by considering the significance measure of the sub-band signal and the rhythm raw-information. This enables a more robust analysis of the audio signal, since sub-band signals, where significant rhythm information are present, are preferred compared to sub-band signals where less significant rhythm information are present, when establishing the rhythm information.
