Patent CA-2523423-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LENKO BRENDAN J
IPC: F25C3/02
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: An ice rink chilling unit includes a heat extraction subassembly, a refrigeration subassembly, a stand-alone enclosure, and a single-phase AC electrical connector. The extraction subassembly includes quick-connect couplings removably connecting with rink piping to form a secondary closed loop. The refrigeration subassembly defines a primary closed loop engaging the extraction subassembly in heat exchanging relation. The enclosure encapsulates the refrigeration and extraction subassemblies. The quick-connect couplings extend outside of the enclosure. The extraction and refrigeration subassemblies are pre-wired and pre-plumbed inside of the enclosure. The electrical connector is accessible from outside the enclosure and connects the extraction and refrigeration subassemblies to the electrical source in single-phase AC relation.     Coolant fluid circulates through the secondary closed loop, and refrigerant fluid circulates through the primary closed loop. The extraction subassembly extracts heat from the rink piping, and transfers heat to the primary closed loop.

Title: Method for recovering metallic elements, especially metallic chromium, from slag containing metal oxides in an electric-arc furnace
Inventor: ROLLINGER BERNT
IPC: C21C5/56
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering metallic elements, especially metallic chromium, from slag containing oxides, especially chromium oxides, in an electric-arc furnace. According to said method, the slag is not reduced in a separate step after melting, but the following steps are carried out: a charge is introduced into the electric-arc furnace, and melted, forming a molten metal and slag; said molten metal is tapped off, leaving the unreduced slag in the furnace vessel; a further charge of scrap metal including reducing agents for the slag is added; the slag is reduced during the melting of said charge; and the slag and the molten metal are then tapped off. The inventive method can also be used in ladle metallurgy or converter metallurgy.

Title: Method, system, and program product for grouping game players by class
Inventor: LIND CLIFTON
IPC: A63F3/06
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: Game play requests in a bingo gaming system (100) are associated with different play characteristic classes and collected into different game play groups simultaneously according to play characteristic class. Once a sufficient number of game play requests are collected in a respective game play group, a bingo game is conducted with the respective game play group and results are returned to the players associated with that game play group. Play characteristic class may be defined on the basis of the speed at which players take any required actions to claim results in a game so that players who may take the required actions relatively slowly will not be grouped for games with players who may take the required actions relatively quickly.
