  • Patent number: 11959147
    Abstract: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.

  • Patent number: 11942056
    Abstract: A display device includes a lighting device, a display panel, a memory, and a correction circuit. The lighting device includes a light exit area defined into light exit sections corresponding to light sources. The display panel includes a display area disposed opposite the light exit area and including pixels. The memory stores data of pixel matrix linked to the display sections. The memory stores position data of the pixels that are not disposed opposite the corresponding light exit sections and deviation data when a position error is caused between the light exit area and the display area. The correction circuit is configured to determine whether the memory stores the position data of the pixels and link new pixel matrix units to the corresponding display sections based on the deviation data if a determination result is affirmative.

  • Patent number: 11392371
    Abstract: An apparatus stores, for each correction processing applied to a source code, a correction record including at least one of a deleted code deleted in the correction processing, an added code added in the correction processing, and attribute information related to the correction processing. The apparatus compares the deleted code with the added code in the correction records, and identifies a first correction processing that is refactoring to correct a first partial code within the source code without changing input/output of the first partial code. The apparatus identifies a second correction processing whose added code includes the deleted code deleted in the first correction processing. The apparatus determines a suspected attribute indicating an attribute of a partial code that is a refactoring candidate, and outputs, as the refactoring candidate, a second partial code that has been added in a third correction processing associated with the suspected attribute.
