Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing an alarm. The method and system can capture occurrences of an alarm for a monitored process; track the occurrences, including whether the occurrences, including a current occurrence of the alarm and a prior occurrence of the alarm, have been acknowledged by a user; and record alarm information for the occurrences of the alarm in a memory. The alarm information can include each occurrence of the alarm and information associated therewith including a timestamp of the occurrence and whether the occurrence of the alarm is acknowledged or not by the user. The method and system can further present or enable presentation of unacknowledged occurrences, from the tracked occurrences, for acknowledgement by a user. The unacknowledged occurrences can include a prior occurrence of the alarm. The recorded alarm information is updated to reflect the acknowledgement of the prior occurrence of the alarm when acknowledged.

Abstract: Brazing of metal parts employing a thin, homogeneous, ductile, filler metal foil is disclosed. The brazing foil, useful for brazing stainless steels, is less than about 0.064 mm (0.0025 inch) thick and has a composition consisting essentially of 0 to about 6 atom percent iron, 0 to about 21 atom percent chromium, 0 to about 4 atom percent molybdenum, 0 to about 5 atom percent tungsten, 0 to about 20 atom percent cobalt, 0 to about 19 atom percent boron, 0 to about 12 atom percent silicon, 0 to about 22 atom percent phosphorus, 0 to about 3 atom percent carbon and the balance nickel and incidental impurities. In addition to containing the foregoing elements within the above-noted composition ranges, the composition must be such that the total of iron, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt and nickel ranges from about 70 to 84 atom percent and the total of boron, silicon, phosphorus and carbon ranges from about 16 to 30 atom percent.

Abstract: Brazing of metal parts employing a homogeneous, ductile, filler metal foil is disclosed. The brazing foil, useful for brazing stainless steels, has a composition consisting essentially of 0 to about 4 atom percent iron, 0 to about 21 atom percent chromium, 0 to about 16 atom percent boron, 0 to about 19 atom percent silicon, 0 to about 22 atom percent phosphorus and the balance nickel and incidental impurities. In addition to containing the foregoing elements within the above-noted composition ranges, the composition must be such that the total of iron, chromium and nickel ranges from about 76 to 84 atom percent and the total of boron, silicon and phosphorus ranges from about 16 to 24 atom percent. The ductile foil permits fabrication of preforms of complex shapes which do not require binders and/or fluxes necessary for brazing powders presently used to braze stainless steels and nickel base alloys.
