First and second parallel processors operate in one of plural modes including synchronous and stand-alone modes. Each processor includes a clock for selectively providing a first high frequency clock signal to both processors. Each processor also includes electronic circuitry operating at a second frequency lower than the first frequency which generates a clock selection signal that selects one of...

Tundishes and ladles used in processing molten metals and alloys frequently contain both as permanent and disposable linings. The disposable lining acts as a thermal and chemical barrier to protect the permanent lining. However, the presence of alkali in the disposable lining results in a tendency to bond to the permanent lining making removal of the disposable lining difficult. The present invent...
