Title: Method and device for deformation of wires and rods to strips or flat profiles
Inventor: JUNIUS HANS-TONI
IPC: C21D8/06
Filed: 2005-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for shaping wire-shaped and rod-shaped starting materials (17) by rolling, especially for rolling flat profiled elements (18) consisting of a wire rod. The starting material (17) is heated in a heating station (5) at a desired temperature, shaped during at least one rolling process (7), and then cooled. According to the invention, once the starting material (17) has been heated in the heating station (5), it is cooled in a cooling station (14) to a pre-determinable rolling temperature; it is then shaped into a flat profiled element (18) by rolling close to the gauge block, and then cooled and/or subjected to a subsequent treatment according to joining properties to be correspondingly adjusted. In this way, a series of different methods can be carried out by means of an installation for rolling starting materials with a patented structure, an austenite structure, a bainite structure or an undercooled austenite structure.

Title: Arrimage de conteneurs
Inventor: NADON GILLES
IPC: B65D88/22
Filed: 2007-04-13
Abstract: L'invention est du domaine de l'arrimage de conteneurs. Dans le transport de bennes en mode Roll on Roll of, on sais qu'il est essentiel que les conteneurs soient arrimer solidement au mât ou à la structure du véhicule pour contrer leur renversement. Dans la pratique le mât de ces véhicules est équipé d'une force hydraulique appliqué sur un câble capable de hisser le conteneur jusqu'à des butés d'arrêts installés vers l'extrémité avant. Généralement, ces composantes suffisent à empêcher un déplacement avant et arrière de la charge mais sont inutile pour contrer une force latérale qui renverserait le conteneur. J'ai déjà inventé un mécanisme pour les camions dont le numéro canadien est 2, 198,784 le numéro américain est U.S. 6,315.508 B1. Il y a des remorques fabriquées pour transporter de plus lourde charge ou il serait avantageux que le mécanisme d'arrimage permette de positionner linéairement le conteneur de façon à départager le poids sur l'ensemble de roues et que ce moyen d'arrimage l'immobilise dans tout les sens. La présente invention est un crochet qui applique une tension sur le patin du conteneur par une force hydraulique qui actionne le croisement de parallélogrammes. L'action se partage entre le crochet et le mécanisme qui se hisse et se coince solidement sous le patin. Le mouvement d'ascendance du mécanisme fait emboîter sa base sous une traverse par un jeu. de rainures. Les embouts de la travers sont attachés à la structure du véhicule par des balanciers à double point d'encrage qui transfère la traction longitudinale en force vertical.

Patent CA-2615929-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GERHARD DETLEF
IPC: C21C5/52
Filed: 2006-07-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a state variable of an electric arc furnace, especially for determining the level of the foamed slag (15) in an electric arc furnace. According to said method, the energy supplied to the electric arc furnace is determined with the aid of at least one electric sensor (13a, 13b, 13c) while solid-borne noise is measured in the form of oscillations on the electric arc furnace. The at least one state variable, particularly the level of the foamed slag (15), is determined by means of a transfer function which is determined by evaluating the measured oscillations, i.e. the solid-borne noise, and evaluating measured data of the at least one electric sensor (13a, 13b, 13c). The state of the level of the foamed slag (15) can thus be reliably recognized and be monitored over time.  The level of the foamed slag (15) is decisive for the effectiveness with which energy is fed into the electric arc furnace. Furthermore, losses caused by radiation are reduced by covering the arc (18) with the foamed slag (15). The improved measuring method allows the level of the foamed slag to be automatically controlled or regulated in a reliable manner.
