20100028106 | ROTARY CHARGING DEVICE FOR A SHAFT FURNACE - A rotary charging device ( | 02-04-2010 |
20110311346 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING THE FLOW RATE OF CHARGE MATERIAL IN A CHARGING PROCESS OF A SHAFT FURNACE - In a charging process of a shaft furnace, in particular of a blast furnace, batches of charge material are typically discharged in cyclical sequence into the furnace from a top hopper using a flow control valve. A method and system is proposed for adjusting the flow rate of charge material in such a process. According to the invention, a respective set of plural valve settings is stored for each batch, each valve setting of a set being associated to a different stage in the discharge of the batch. The method and system are configured to discharge a given batch so that, at each stage in the discharge of the given batch, the flow control valve operates at a constant valve opening according to the valve setting associated to that stage and so that an actual average flow rate at which charge material is discharged is determined for that stage. Further according to the invention, the method and system are configured to correct the plural valve settings offline and in function of the actual average flow rate determined for the associated stage. | 12-22-2011 |
20110311926 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING THE FLOW RATE OF CHARGE MATERIAL IN A CHARGING PROCESS OF A SHAFT FURNACE - In a charging process of a shaft furnace, in particular of a blast furnace, batches of charge material are typically discharged in cyclical sequence into the furnace from a top hopper using a flow control valve. A method and system is proposed for adjusting the flow rate of charge material in such a process. Pre-determined valve characteristics for certain types of material are provided, each indicating the relation between flow rate and valve setting for one type of material. According to the invention, a specific valve characteristic is stored for each batch of charge material, each specific valve characteristic being bijectively associated to one batch and indicating the relation between flow rate and valve setting of the flow control valve specifically for the associated batch. In relation to discharging a given batch of the sequence the invention proposes: using the stored specific valve characteristic associated to the given batch for determining a requested valve setting corresponding to a flow rate setpoint and using the requested valve setting to operate the flow control valve; determining an actual average flow rate for the discharge of the given batch; correcting the stored specific valve characteristic associated to the given batch in case of a stipulated deviation between the flow rate setpoint and the actual average flow rate. | 12-22-2011 |

20100013349 | End Turn Phase Insulator with a Lead Wire Restraining Tab and Method of Restraining Lead Wires on Dynamoelectric Devices - A stator comprises a core, a plurality of wire coils, an end turn phase insulator, and at least one lead wire. The wire coils are wound through the slots of the stator and form end turns as they wind from slot to slot. The end turn phase insulator comprises an end turn separating portion and a lead wire restraining tab. The end turn separating portion is sandwiched radially between an inner end turn and an outer end turn. The lead wire restraining tab extends from the end turn separating portion and is partially wrapped over the outer end turn in a manner sandwiching the lead wire between the lead wire restraining tab and the outer end turn. This prevents the lead wire from migrating into the core of the stator. | 01-21-2010 |

20100277380 | Vehicle Antenna Device Using Space-Filling Curves - The vehicle antenna device disclosed is constituted by space-filling curves. The vehicle antenna device includes an antenna element having space-filling curves that initial shape is constituted by two parallel lines and a slant line continuously connecting therebetween. Specifically, the antenna element has space-filling curves that initial shape has a start point at one end of the one parallel line and an end point at the other end of the other parallel line. More specifically, the antenna element has space-filling curves that initial shape is an N-shape or reversed N-shape. | 11-04-2010 |

20120218155 | Antenna Assembly - An antenna assembly for a vehicle including an environmentally sealed housing and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is at least partially disposed within the environmentally sealed housing and extends through a plurality of second order Hilbert Curves which are arranged in side-by-side relationship with one another. The antenna assembly is preferably disposed within a non-metallic structure of the vehicle, and therefore, the antenna assembly is hidden from view, thereby allowing the vehicle to have a more aesthetically pleasing external appearance. Additionally, the length of the trace is limited by the space inside of the non-metallic structure, and therefore, depending on the size of the non-metallic structure, a very long trace having a high performance could be printed on the printed circuit board. | 08-30-2012 |
