The invention relates to a method and a production plant for producing molten metal, in particular molten steel for steel or ferro-alloys that are alloyed with Cr or Cr and Ni in synchronised method stages in several reaction vessels. The aim of the invention is to reduce production costs and to synchronise the production time for a batch of molten metal with the cycle time of a continuous casting...

A train control system includes a control module that determines a position of a train using a positioning system and consults a database to determine when the train is approaching a portion of track monitored by a track circuit. When the train is near a track circuit, but while the train is still far enough away from the track circuit such that the train can be stopped before reaching the portion...

An apparatus to treat a sphincter includes an energy delivery device support member. An energy delivery device is coupled to the energy delivery support member. The energy delivery device has a configuration that controllably produces lesions of a sufficient size and number in the sphincter to create a selectable tightening of the sphincter.

In the process of the present invention, an organic polyisocyanate is reacted with a sorbitol-based polyether polyol having a number average molecular weight of from about 400 to about 1500, in the presence of a pentafluoropropane blowing agent, and a catalyst.

The present invention relates to a binder composition comprising an aliphatic polyester polymer: an ethylenebisamide wax; and a guanidine wetting agent. The composition may also contain an additive which accelerates or extends debinding of the binder composition, and to a method for forming a sintered part by powder injection molding, including the steps of forming a green composition comprising a...

A weight-sensitive mat or other sensor determines whether a child seat in a vehicle is occupied, a transmitter is proximate to the sensor, and a keychain fob or other portable unit includes a receiver and an alarm. Generally, if the child seat is occupied and the keychain fob is removed from proximity to the transmitter, the transmitter communicates this to the keychain fob receiver and the alarm ...

Apparatuses and methods for determining the concentration of an analyte in a physiological sample are provided. The subject apparatuses include at least one light source, a detector array, means for determining whether a sufficient amount of sample is present on each of the plurality of different areas, and means for determining the concentration of the analyte based on the reflected light detecte...

An apparatus and method for clearing a playing surface are provided. The apparatus preferably includes a chassis or frame, a sensor connected to the chassis to sense a location of a line on a playing surface that needs to be cleaned, and a drive connected to the chassis to drive the chassis in a selected direction of travel.

The cleaner has a cleaner body (110) including a programmed control unit that executes a cleaning operation as per predefined values. A driving unit is driven according to a control signal from the control unit. A dust suction unit captures and collects dust by a vacuum motor. A cleaning unit (200) with a rotating moist fabric (210), is detachably fixed at a lower surface of the body.

The robot cleaner has a body with a drive part and a suction member and a bumper (200) attached to the cleaner body by a support structure (240), when a collision occurs between an obstacle and the cleaner the bumper moves towards the cleaner body to absorb the shock and protect the body. In response to the movement a sensor (300) is turned on and affects the controller in order to change the dire...

A system for measuring a glucose level in a blood sample includes a test strip and a meter. The test strip includes a sample chamber, a working electrode, a counter electrode, fill-detect electrodes, and an auto-on conductor. A reagent layer is disposed in the sample chamber. The auto-on conductor causes the meter to wake up and perform a test strip sequence when the test strip is inserted in the ...
