A method of electroslag refining of metal is taught. The method starts with the introduction of unrefined metal into an electroslag refining process in which the unrefined metal is first melted at the upper surface of the refining slag. The molten metal in the form if droplets is refined as it passes through the molten slag. The refined metal droplets are collected in a cold hearth apparatus havin...

An improved calibration method for calibrating the measured value of an analyte in a liquid sample by referring to a calibration curve drawn by plotting the interrelation between the calibration values of n (n is an integer of not less than 2) calibrators containing different contents of the analyte and the measured values of the analyte contained in respective calibrators. In the improved method ...

The present invention relates to a data protection (310) for preventing data from being erroneously written in a data holding circuit (307). A data protection circuit (311) receives a data protection set release select signal Sa provided by a processor (330), thereby causing a second timer (316) to start timing. The data protection circuit (311) further detects the level of a chip select signal CS...
