A reducing gas is generated in a molten metal bath wherein fuel, oxygen and a flux are injected into a pressure-tight vessel beneath the bath to produce a partially-desulfurized partial-oxidation gas having a hydrogen and carbon monoxide content of at least 50% and the process is controlled by injecting steam or a fuel rich gas consisting substantially of hydrogen, carbon monoxide methane, or a mi...

A vulcanization method and press in which at time-spaced intervals of 1 to 40 seconds, temperature measurements representing increments of heat supplied to the vulcanizable body are taken of a medium used for vulcanization. A summation of the measurements continuously during the vulcanization process represents the heat supplied to the body and when the summed heat quantity equals the total heat q...

An improved yarn guide assembly for selecting yarns individually from a group in the donning of a multicop winder, the assembly being of the kind in which each gap in a row of guide members is shaped to receive a yarn only if it lies in a unique plane, the improvement being that the yarn guiding surfaces of the guide members immediately beyond the gaps, are inclined to, and at least partially face...

A gear-teeth protector for a change-speed gearing unit in which a pair of upper and lower change-speed gears of high meshing rate are arranged adjacent to an upright wall in a housing for the gearing unit. The gear-teeth protector comprises a U-shaped shroud member secured at its outer peripheral flanges to one face of the upright wall so as to prevent metallic alien particles being trapped betwee...

PURPOSE:To diagnose the operating state of a microcomputer system containing a master microcomputer and plural slave microcomputers, by holding the time information for each slave microcomputer and always monitoring the time information. CONSTITUTION:Slave computers 3-n contain the transmission software to judge the state of own system and transmit the information on the time, etc. to a master com...

PURPOSE:To diagnose a fault of a CPU with a simple constitution by preparing such a program that the pulse signals are delivered in a prescribed cycle as long as the CPU has no fault. CONSTITUTION:A program is prepared so that a pulse signal (a) of a prescribed cycle TO is delivered from a CPU 3 in a normal operation mode. If some faule arises to a system comprising the CPU 3 and T

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution of a runaway detecting circuit by detecting the runaway of a processor of one side of a multi-processor system by a processor of the other side. CONSTITUTION:A local control (LP) program starts a global (GP) monitor program within a fixed time T1. Thus this monitor program compares the contents of a GP monitor flag area 9 with those of an LP monitor flag area 1...

PURPOSE:To detect that a program is set into a loop state by providing a means which counts the access frequency of the same address in a file. CONSTITUTION:A function to start a loop monitor program B is previously provided to a job control sentence J. When an object program P is executed through a processing part 4, the program B is started with execution of an object code J'. This program B ope...

In the case of a tilting safety toe piece, the sole holder (11) can pivot only in a narrow angle range about the associated vertical pivot axis (1), after leaving the rest position. Thereafter, owing to correspondingly designed supporting surfaces (12) and rolling surfaces (13), it pivots about pivot axes (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) which diverge downwards to an increasingly oblique extent (Fig. 2).

A circuit arrangement for monitoring electronic computing chips (10) is proposed which generate an output signal (A) in dependence on a cyclic input signal (E). The input signal (E) is used for triggering a time window circuit (12) and a coincidence circuit (13, 14) is used for checking whether there is coincidence between the time window, generated by the time window circuit (12), and output sign...

A guidance system for guiding a plurality of unmanned vehicles along a traffic layout includes a plurality of code devices which divide the traffic layout into a plurality of zones and identify each zone by a unique identifying code. Each vehicle includes control circuits having code sensors which sense the identifying code as the vehicle enters a zone and provide data to a present memory which st...

A method in the manufacture of steam-cured light-weight aerated concrete having hydrophobic properties, comprising preparing an aqueous expandable and solidifiable slurry, one or more hydraulic binders and one or more silica-containing materials casting the slurry in a mould; expanding and solidifying, and optionally cutting the solidified slurry; and steam-curing the resultant light-weight aerate...

A fluid pressure operated disc brake having one brake disc affixed to the housing of a brake cylinder unit and the other disc affixed to a service brake piston of the brake cylinder unit, which further includes an auxiliary brake piston between the service brake piston and cylinder head, thereby forming on opposite sides thereof a service brake actuating chamber and an auxiliary brake actuating ch...

A non-volatile, acid acceptor which is soluble in polyolefins is added to a film grade polyolefin resin composition to prevent gel streaking/pinstriping or corrosion during film extrusion processes. The acid acceptor has a molecular weight greater than 180 with less than 5% by weight volatiles at 180 DEG C as measured by a thermal evolution analysis.

Resilient foam particles and moldings are obtained employing a lightly crosslinked polymer such as a styrene polymer with volatile fluid foaming agent that has low permeability through the polymer. Multiple expansion will permit low density particles for molding.
