Abstract: Merged scheduling of two different slab lines is solved by a rational technique. By computer processing, a grid-shaped two-dimensional graph with a direct slab line as a first dimension and a stock slab line as a second dimension is prepared as a data structure represented in a memory or hard disk drive of a computer. A computer processing program generates two child nodes for the direct slab and the stock slab in each node of the two-dimensional graph in accordance with a predetermined algorithm. By defining an appropriate weighting factor, edges between nodes of the grid-shaped two-dimensional graph are weighted. When a weighted graph is formed in a storage device of the computer such as the memory or hard disk drive of the computer, the computer processing program finds a path from a starting point to an ending point as a shortest path search problem such as an already known Dijkstra's method.

Title: Enhanced channel surfing
Inventor: YOAKUM JOHN H
IPC: H04H60/72
Filed: 2009-12-01
Abstract: When a viewer initiates channel surfing, a surfing guide is presented to the viewer. The surfing guide provides multiple channel regions, where each channel region is associated with a different channel that is available to the viewer. Each channel region will include a channel window in which an image or video content from the corresponding channel is displayed.  When the surfing guide is being displayed to the viewer, the channel window in at least one of the channel regions will include video content, which is derived from a low bandwidth video stream for the associated channel. Each channel region may also have a channel information area in which textual information about the corresponding channel is provided to the viewer.

Abstract: An optical measurement instrument comprises operational modules (101 -107) that are interconnected via a digital communication network (110). Each operational module comprises a transceiver (111 -117) connected to the digital communication network and arranged to support a pre-determined digital communication protocol employed in the digital communication network. Those operational modules that include a detector further comprise an analog-to-digital converter (118) for converting a detected signal into a digital form and a digital circuitry (119) for providing digital information based on the detected signal with address data related to a particular operational module to which the digital information is to be delivered via the digital communication network. As information is transferred between operational modules via the digital communication network using the pre-determined digital communication protocol, the operational modules can be tested independently of each other using a test bench system arranged to support the pre-determined digital communication protocol.

Title: Adjustable side dam for continuous casting apparatus
Inventor: LUCE EDWARD STANLEY
IPC: B22D11/12
Filed: 2010-03-25
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a side dam for a continuous metal casting apparatus having elongated opposed casting surfaces forming a casting cavity. The side dam has an elongated upstream part and an elongated downstream part that are mutually laterally pivotable, and a smooth metal-contacting side surface extending continuously from an upstream end to a downstream end of the side dam. The surface has regions thereof formed on the upstream part and the downstream part. Mutual pivoting of the upstream part and the downstream part of the side dam enables the regions of the smooth metal-contacting side surface to be moved out of mutual coplanar alignment. The side dams can therefore be used to form either a convergent or divergent casting cavity to assists the casting procedure and to enhance the properties of the cast article.

Abstract: A fatigue testing system (100) provides simultaneous cycle testing for a plurality of prosthetic devices under simulated physiological loading conditions. A plurality of sample holders (129) containing test samples (130) of prosthetic devices is positioned be-tween a distribution chamber (126) and a return fluid chamber (136) to form an integrated test chamber (106). A reciprocating linear drive motor (105) operates a rolling bellows diaphragm (115) to cyclically pressurize fluid within the test chamber (106) and drive the pressur-ized fluid through the prosthetic devices (130) being tested. The test chamber (106) defines a return flow conduit (124) in fluid communi-cation with each of the sample holders (129), the return fluid chamber (136), and the distribution chamber (126). Compliance chambers (135) and throttle valves (132) associated with each of the sample holders (129) regulate the pressure gradient and back pressure across the prosthetic devices (130) being tested.

Abstract: Safety structure for protecting a railway line consisting of a fencing which is supported on supports resting on the track bed. These supports are connected to a rail of a railway line which is present. The connection is effected by means of magnetic force. At their free ends, the supports are provided with permanent magnets having a shape such that they can be brought into engagement with the web of a rail. Due to the significant length of the supports, it is possible to apply a great torque to the magnets when the other end is engaged, that is to say that end which is turned away from the permanent magnets, as a result of which the magnet slides away along the web and can be detached therefrom. The magnet may consist of a number of magnets stacked on top of one another. The magnet is preferably arranged so as to be slightly displaceable with respect to the support to provide compensation for an uneven surface.

Abstract: The tool holder (2) is realized for fastening to a machine tool and for reversibly receiving a radial tool (4), in particular for receiving a milling cutter. The tool holder (2) is realized in three parts, having a rear machine part (6), made of a ductile elastic tool steel, for reversibly fastening to the machine tool, and having a front clamping part (10), made of a tool steel, for reversibly receiving the tool (4), and having an intermediate part (8), made of a heavy metal, in particular solid hard metal, disposed between the machine part (6) and the clamping part (10). Owing to the greater density of the heavy metal in comparison with the tool steel, the tool holder (2) is better able to absorb forces occurring during a milling operation, thereby achieving a milling operation that is sparing of the cutting tool, and consequently achieving a long service life.

Abstract: A link to a rights advisor website can be constructed from article metadata by a non-programmer user by connecting together a chain of steps, each of which uses a pre-defined module, called a "widget", which, in turn, performs a specific task. By selecting, configuring and arranging steps, different websites can be processed in different manners. However, since the modules are predefined, they cannot be changed and thus the overall process can be controlled to prevent problems with one program from affecting other programs.
