Patent CA-2095768-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WINCH REGINALD W
IPC: C21C5/46
Filed: 1993-05-07
Abstract: An improved apparatus for opening and closing a taphole of a metallurgical  furnace  includes  stationary  pedestal  sections carrying an upper boom and a lower boom which booms can be slewed by driving means independently from each other with one of their ends around the pedestal.  To one of the booms a drilling machine is connected and to the other a taphole-plugging machine.   The swing paths of the booms are inclined relative to each other, such that the two machines can be swung into parked positions, at heights suitable for operations and maintenance, and each into its servicing position in front of the taphole.   Preferably, the drilling machine is connected to the upper boom.  Also preferably, the connection between each boom and the pedestal is accomplished by two vertically separated large diameter slewing bearings, and by driving  means  consisting  of  two  hydraulic  cylinders.    The inclination of the axis of rotation of the two booms,  in the vertical  plane  of  the taphole,  will  be determined  for  each installation,  from the relevant heights of the operating and parking required locations of the drilling and plugging machines. The inclination of the axis of rotation normal to the above plane for each boom will also be determined for each installation by the clearance necessary as the upper boom assembly passes over the lower  boom.    The  preferred  angles  of  inclination to  give satisfactory elevations and clearances are for the upper boom between 0 and 2 degrees towards the taphole plane and between 8 and 10 degrees towards the furnace in the plane normal to the above. For the lower boom, the angles are between 4 and 6 degrees away from the plane of the taphole and between 2 and 4 degrees towards the furnace.

Title: Retrovirus-Like Particles Containing Modified Envelope Glycoproteins
Inventor: ROVINSKI BENJAMIN
IPC: C07K14/16
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: Self-assembled, non-replicating, non-infectious retrovirus-like particles contain a chimeric envelope glycoprotein. The envelope glycoprotein comprises a first retroviral amino acid sequence which is substantially homologous with the native retrovirus amino acid sequence and a second retroviral amino acid sequence which is a heterologous amino acid sequence inserted into the first amino acid sequence.

Abstract: A baby bottle  feeding assembly  is disclosed which includes a hood type enclosure for the nipple, when the bottle is not in use.   During periods of bottle use, the hood is stored over the opposite end of the bottle.   In order to positively retain the hood in either its nipple protecting or storage condition, the hood includes raised beads, which cooperatively engage complementary protrusions at either end of the bottle so as to provide a positive locking  engagement.    This  engagement  may  be  manually defeatable when it is desired to move the hood to its other desired position on the bottle.  When the hood is locked in the storage condition, it is substantially co-extensive with the bottom region of the bottle, so as not to significantly extend beyond the bottle proper.

Title: Actuator for a closure element at the outlet of a container containing metal melt
Inventor: BASLER URS
IPC: B22D41/20
Filed: 1994-04-11
Abstract: ABSTRACT            An actuator (30) for a closure element at the outlet of a   container   (10)   containing  metal  melt  has   a piston/cylinder unit (40), which is secured to the latter and controls the closure element via a linkage, with a valve block which comprises a control valve (55) and a short-circuit valve (55) for the manual actuation of the closure  element.    The  piston/cylinder  unit  (40)  is constructed in accordance with the invention as a double-acting cylinder whose cylinder has a cylinder portion (46), which defines the working chamber  (49)  for the piston (45) sliding therein, and a cylinder portion (48), which is connected to it and includes the valve block. The latter cylinder portion and the piston rod  (42') arranged therein are provided with a displacement sensor (60) whilst the piston rod (42)  opposed to the piston (45)  is  coupled to the linkage to move the  closure element (20).  These two cylinder portions (46, 48) are further manufactured of aluminium.  As a result of this and due to the fact that the said conduits and thus the valve block are integrated as a whole into the cylinder portions  (46,  48),  the  considerable  advantage  with respect to the known solutions is produced that this piston/cylinder unit  (40)  is  overall very light  and furthermore very compact and is thus very small in its dimensions.
