20140245935 | Furnace with Refractory Bricks that Define Cooling Channels for Gaseous Media - A furnace is provided suitable for metallurgical processes, comprising at least one section comprised of refractory bricks with an outer shell plate adjacent to the refractory bricks, including exterior bricks whose external faces adjacent the shell plate define gaseous media cooling channels extending along the exterior of the refractory bricks between them and the shell plate. The furnace further comprises cooling plates within the cooling channels and joints between the successive courses of bricks. Advantageously, the conductivity of the cooling plates is at least 5 times the conductivity of the refractory lining into which it is inserted. Suitable materials include copper and copper-based alloys, brasses, bronzes, cast irons, aluminum alloys, silver, high-temperature steels, refractory metals and their alloys, graphite, silicon carbide, and aluminum nitride. | 09-04-2014 |
20140352823 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF HANDLING AN OFF-GAS CONTAINING CARBON MONOXIDE - An uptake apparatus is arranged to extract a stream of off-gas containing carbon monoxide from a process vessel. At least one gas conditioning train receives and conditions the stream. An outlet expels at least a portion of the stream. A portion of the stream is separated to form a recycle stream. An eductor apparatus combines the stream with the recycle stream, to decrease the temperature and increase the static pressure of the stream. The stream is maintained at a positive gauge pressure. | 12-04-2014 |

20090093978 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ACOUSTIC MONITORING OF TAPBLOCKS AND SIMILAR ELEMENTS - The described embodiments relate to systems and methods for acoustic monitoring of metallurgical furnace cooling elements. Some metallurgical furnaces have a tapblock that is blocked during operation of the furnace. The tapblock may be opened by lancing, drilling, tapping or by other means to release metal from the furnace. By monitoring acoustic emissions during the opening process, feedback may be provided to improve the opening process and to avoid excessive damage to the tapblock, the cooling elements, a refractory lining of the tapblock or other elements of the metallurgical furnace. | 04-09-2009 |
20100213922 | ELECTROMAGNETIC BATH LEVEL MEASUREMENT FOR PYROMETALLURGICAL FURNANCES - In a first aspect, some embodiments of the invention provide a system for measuring the level of a plurality of phases of a conductive or semi-conductive mixture in a vessel, the system comprising: a vessel configured to hold a conductive or semi-conductive mixture including a plurality of phases, the vessel comprising a sidewall with an interior surface and an exterior surface, a plurality of antennas configured to transmit electromagnetic and/or eddy current signals into the sidewall of the vessel to impinge upon the plurality of phases in the conductive or semi-conductive mixture and to receive corresponding signals reflected from the plurality of phases in the conductive or semi-conductive mixture, the antennas situated at a plurality of different levels along the exterior surface of the vessel sidewall, wherein reflected signals are received, a transmitter module configured to generate electromagnetic and/or eddy current signals in communication with the plurality of antennas, a receiver module configured to receive electromagnetic and/or eddy current signals in communication with the plurality of antennas, a control module in communication with the transmitter module and the receiver module configured to control the operation of the transmitter module and the receiver module, and a signal analysis module in communication with the receiver module configured to process the reflected signals to determine the levels of the plurality of phases of the conductive or semi-conductive mixture within the vessel. | 08-26-2010 |

20080289447 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING METAL POWDERS - A process for the production of extra fine spherical metal powders by chemical vapor deposition and dissolution techniques, including metal carbonyls, wherein the metal containing process gas is propelled upwardly through a heated reactor. By employing an upward gas flow as opposed to the conventional downward gas flow, a closer approximation of theoretical plug-flow velocity profiles are achieved thusly resulting in a desirably narrower size particle distribution obviating or reducing the need for subsequent classification techniques | 11-27-2008 |

20130008097 | TOWER LIFTING STAND SYSTEM - A tower lifting stand system and method is provided for use in lifting a large structure such as a transmission tower that is used in our power grid. A lifting mechanism engages a structure connected to the tower which work together to lift the tower once the lifting mechanism has been activated. Once the tower is lifted, a vertical extension section can be installed thus lifting the tower, and its associated power lines, vertically a predetermined distance. | 01-10-2013 |

20090091087 | Quiz-nested quiz game and system therefore - One detailed embodiment of a quiz-nested quiz game and system therefore, played by one or by one or more players. Each quiz comprises one information fragment for its answer and one for each clue. A unique identifier is assigned to the information fragments. The uniquely identified information fragments are associated into a quiz structure, wherein non-terminal members are an answer in one quiz and clue in an associated quiz. A system means comprises exposure, guessing and validation means. A user interface is provided. Clues in one quiz can be selectively exposed to the player(s), who can provide a guess at the associated answer. The guess is validated, and, depending on the validation result, the associated answer is exposed as a clue in a different, associated quiz. Other embodiments are described and shown. | 04-09-2009 |
20120178073 | Game Systems with Interoperating or both Interoperating and Interrelated Quizzes and/or Puzzles - A system that integrates at least two levels of quiz or puzzle solving. Some embodiments use a Graphical User Interface (GUI) aspect only. According to the GUI aspect, a gameplay sequence is provided, whereby an indication of a solution associated with a level-two quiz is displayed. A clue to a different, level-one quiz is subsequently presented. An attempt is input at the level-one quiz. A level-two quiz clue is displayed. The level-two quiz can be solved with one or more clues so provided. According to the data aspect, different quizzes or puzzles are data related through a persistent data structure. Embodiments that use a data aspect may omit displaying a solution indication. | 07-12-2012 |
