Patent AU-6985398-A (AU)
Title: Radial-flow distributor for wide uniform nonturbulent non-dribbling pouring of molten metal into a continuous metal-casting machine - methods and apparatus
Inventor: KAGAN VALERY G
IPC: B22D11/16
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: A radial-flow, wide-pouring molten-metal distributor comprising a curved or arcuate overflow weir which is normally horizontal on its top and which is concave on its upstream side as viewed from above. Over this arc-shaped overflow weir flows molten metal to be continuously cast in an open pool. An impetus is thereby imparted to the molten metal along diverging radial lines. The flow so impelled continues radially onto a horizontal apron. The flow spreads fanwise to the desired width which may be as much as six times the width of the weir. Thence, the metal cascades or flows uniformly into the casting apparatus. The overflow weir is preferably supplemented by a skimmer mounted above it in substantially uniform spaced aligned relationship, thereby completing a slot beneath the skimmer through which the molten metal flows. When employed for the casting of wide, thin product, the invention results in a far more uniform and gentle distribution of metal than heretofore available. Dribbling and "beards" are eliminated. Swirls and porosity are reduced. The temperature profile across the section being cast is rendered more uniform, thereby permitting a lower temperature of the supply of molten metal entering this novel distributor. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of inserting tubes into heat exchangers and apparatus therefor
Inventor: GILBERTSON RICHARD G
IPC: B23P15/26
Filed: 1987-01-28
Abstract: An apparatus for inserting tubes (20) into openings in tube sheets or baffles (13) in a heat exchanger such as a steam condenser (12), includes at least one, preferably two, drive members (97,103) such as air inflated tires mounted on wheels, in cooperating relationship on opposite sides of the tube for advancing the tube (20). The tires (97,103) are canted in opposite directions at acute angles for simultaneously rotating the tube (20) on its own axis, whereby the tube (20) rotates as it advances through the baffles (14). The rotation distributes stresses on the tube (20) to help prevent damage to the tube and assist in clearing the tube openings (18) within the condenser (12). The tube (20) is firmly frictionally engaged by the tires (97,103) and a predetermined amount of friction is selected and maintained to allow the tires to slip on the tube when an obstruction is encountered to help reduce damage to the tube and to facilitate passage of the tube into the condenser. A hole cleaner or pilot (130) is mounted on the leading end of the tube (20) with a wire brush (148) which rotates within the openings (18) as the tube advances, thereby cleaning them ahead of the tube. Suitable stops (150) are provided to control the fixed position of the tube (20) in the condenser (12).

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing signal processing requirements for transmitting packet-based data with a modem
Inventor: YAMANO LARRY C
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A modem and method for operating same. A receiver circuit of the modem is coupled to receive a continuous analog signal from a communication channel. This analog signal includes both packet and idle information. The receiver circuit monitors the analog signal to detect the presence of idle information. Upon detecting idle information, the receiver circuit enters a standby mode in which the processing requirements of the receiver circuit are reduced. A burst mode protocol is also provided, in which packets of digital information are modulated by a transmitter circuit the modem, thereby converting the packets of digital information into analog signal bursts of discrete duration. These analog signal bursts are transmitted from the transmitter circuit to a telephone line. However, the transmitter circuit does not generate any signals between the analog signal bursts. A receiver circuit monitors the telephone line to detect the analog signal bursts. Upon detecting the presence of the analog signal bursts on the telephone line, the receiver circuit demodulates the analog signal bursts using full processing capabilities of the receiver circuit. However, upon detecting the absence of the analog signal bursts on the telephone line, the demodulating function of the receiver circuit is disabled. The burst mode protocol enables multi-drop and multi-cast operation, as well as reducing required DSP resources.

Title: Recombinant library screening methods
Inventor: DOWER WILLIAM J
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1991-05-01
Abstract: Nucleotide sequences encoding proteins of interest are isolated from DNA libraries using bacteriophage to link the protein to the sequence which encodes it. DNA libraries are prepared from cells encoding the protein of interest and inserted into or adjacent to a coat protein of a bacteriophage vector, or into a sequence encoding a protein which may be linked by means of a ligand to a phage coat protein. By employing affinity purification techniques the phage particles containing sequences encoding the desired protein may be selected and the desired nucleotide sequences obtained therefrom. Thus, for example, novel proteins such as monoclonal antibodies may be produced and conventional hybridoma technology avoided.

Title: Method and use of calcium nitrate for foaming of steel-making slags
Inventor: TUVNES PETTER
IPC: C21C7/00
Filed: 2000-10-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of foaming steel-making slags, wherein calcium nitrate is added to the slag alone or together with carbon. Calcium nitrate and carbon can be fed into the slag trough chutes or trough lances with injection gases such as air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or inert gases. The solid components can be injected separately or with the same lance as a mixture or injected as pre-fused granules. For ladle slag foaming, calcium nitrate and carbon is added from above the melt. It is preferred to use a ratio between calcium nitrate and carbon in the range from 4.1 to 2:1. For foaming of stainless steel slag, it is preferred to add FeSi, Al or Mg before calcium nitrate and carbon is added or injected into the slag by an injection gas. Air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or inert gases can be used as injection gas. The invention also concerns the use of calcium nitrate as a foaming agent for steel-makings slags. The invention can be used for slag foaming in electric arc furnaces and ladles.
