Abstract: Apparatus for shingling a plurality of documents disposed in stacked relation so that the stack extends successively from a first end to a second end, and has at least one boundary defined by substantially coplanar marginal edges of the documents. The stack of documents is conveyed along a predetermined path during which one or more rotatable shingling members engage the coplanar marginal edges of the documents and impart velocity components of progressively increasing magnitude to the marginal edges in a manner to effect movement of the documents into a shingled array. In the preferred embodiments, the rotatable shingling member has a conical shingling surface traversed by the documents in tangential relation so that the velocity components imparted to the marginal edges of the documents lie in the planes of the documents and move them laterally in shingled relation to each other.

Abstract: A fluid diluter consists of a hydrodynamic focusing device (23) having a circular mixing chamber (28) opening into a receiving chamber (32) via a sensing aperture (30). Diluent is supplied from a source (37) and mixed with a sample (24) of blood, for example, and the sensing aperture (30) counts the presence of particles such as haemoglobin in the sample using the Impedance method. The receiving chamber (32) is subsequently emptied and the cycle repeated. In one embodiment, through-flow is achieved via a pair of pumps (17, 19) having different pumping capacities, connected together with a common piston assembly (16, 18). In a second embodiment, four pumps (17, 19, 68, 70) are employed, three of which (17, 68, 70) are ganged together. Such a system is substantially less bulky than known diluters yet permits accurate attainment of high dilution ratios (e.g. 6000:1). Particles may thus be analysed in the aperture (30) one at a time without 'coincidence'. Altering the relative capacities of the pumps permits adjustment of the dilution ratio.

Title: Apparatus for controlling molten metal flow in a tundish to enhance inclusion float out from a molten metal bath
Inventor: SCHMIDT MANFRED
IPC: B22D11/117

Granted: 1999-01-13
Abstract: Flow control apparatus for enhancing inclusion float out in a continuous caster tundish comprising a dam positioned downstream from an impact pad and an energy source positioned between the dam and the exit nozzle of the tundish. The dam receives an incoming flood of molten metal released from the impact pad and redirects the flood of molten metal into multiple sub-flow currents which carry entrained inclusions toward a slag cover on the surface of the molten metal bath to enhance inclusion float out. The energy source provides means to restore kinetic energy to the sub-flow currents and increase the number of passes below the slag cover, thereby further enhancing inclusion float out.

Abstract: A two stage reaction for the production of steel from iron carbide is carried out in two separate but interrelated reactors (1, 36). In the first reactor (1), iron carbide, with slag formers, is fed into a feed end (2) and the reaction is well-mixed by the vessel geometry, the stirring action of below-surface injection of oxygen and iron carbide feed, and the evolution of gases from the liquid metal bath (9). The product, containing about 0.5-2 % carbon, is fed into the second reactor (36) where it is refined with subsurface-injected oxygen. The second reaction is autogenous, and the evolved carbon monoxide is fed to the first reactor (1) where it is burned with oxygen in a foamy slag, which, with post-combustion burning in the slag of CO evolved in the first reactor (1), and with iron carbide preheating with the sensible heat of the off-gas from the first reaction, makes that reaction also essentially autogenous.
