Abstract: Method and system for producing metallic nuggets includes providing reducible mixture of reducing material (such as carbonaceous material) and reducible iron bearing material (such as iron oxide) arranged in discrete portions, such as mounds or briquettes, on at least a portion of a hearth material layer (such as carbonaceous material). A coarse overlayer of carbonaceous material is provided over at least some of the discrete portions. Heating the discrete portions of reducible mixture to 1425 °C or 1400 °C or 1375 °C  results in formation of an intermediate product of metallic iron nuggets and slag, and one or more metallic iron nuggets. The intermediate product with less than 5% mass MgO in the slag may have the ratio of percent by weight sulfur in the slag over percent sulfur in the metallic nuggets of at least about 12 or at least about 15. The metallic iron nuggets may have a sulfur content of less than 0.03%.

Title: Method and apparatus for the continuous treatment of a water well
Inventor: FIELD GEORGE RAYMOND
IPC: C02F1/76
Filed: 2009-04-28
Granted: 2012-08-14
Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous treating of a water well with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide to do away with shock chlorination includes an inlet pipe, which is mounted in the cover on a water well and an elongated tube extending downwardly from the bottom end of the pipe into the well, preferably beyond any pitless adapter, for depositing chlorine pellets or chlorine or hydrogen peroxide solution in the well. The pellets or solution are added roughly on a weekly basis which prevents a chlorine or hydrogen peroxide smell in the water and obviates the need for dechlorination.

Abstract: Magnesium oxide (MgO) compounded into a polymer can subsequently be hydrated in-situ within the polymer to form magnesium hydroxide. In the case of silane-based or peroxide-based crosslinkable resins, the MgO hydration and polymer crosslinking can be done in a single process step, or in sequential steps. In the case of non-crosslinkable compounds, hydration can be carried out after compounding (no crosslinking step). In all cases, steam CV, sauna, or hot water bath are options for hydration. This approach enables preparation of polymer compounds that are flame retarded with metal hydrates yet free of the traditional limitations posed by shelf instability, extrusion scorch, undesired dehydration, and processing temperature limitations posed by metal hydrates.

Title: Orthopaedic implant and fastener assembly
Inventor: GRUSIN NATHANIEL KELLEY
IPC: A61B17/72
Filed: 2009-07-24
Granted: 2019-03-19
Abstract: Treating fractures using one or both of an implant, such as an intramedullary nail, and a fastening assembly, such as a lag screw and compression screw assembly.  The implant in some embodiments has a proximal section with a transverse aperture having a non-circular cross-section that may be shaped to selectively constrain the fastening assembly within the transverse aperture. Two or more components of the fastening assembly may be received to slide, in a controlled way, in the transverse aperture of the implant, and to cooperate to resist a force moment applied thereto. Without the presence of one of the components, such as the lag screw, another component, such as the compression screw may not resist a force moment applied thereto. In some implementations, an engaging member and a compression device of the fastening assembly are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the implant and a portion of the engaging member to enable controlled movement between first and second bone fragments. This configuration is useful for, among other things, compressing a fracture.
