  • Patent number: 10201043
    Abstract: The method for adjusting the impedance of one or more phases of a secondary circuit of an electric furnace, in order to limit the unbalance between the phases themselves comprises the transformer (31), a variable impedance secondary circuit for one or more phases (F1, F2, F3), the rigid and fixed interconnection (32) for each phase (F1, F2, F3) connected to the transformer, the flexible cables (33) connected by means of the proximal end to the fixed interconnection (32), the electrode holding arms (34) connected to the distal end of the flexible cables (33), the conductive electrodes (35) fixed to the respective electrode holding arms (34). The rigid and fixed interconnection (32) of a phase (F1, F2, F3) comprises at least one turn (11), wherein the impedance is either continuously or discreetly variable in order to obtain the desired impedance value.

  • Patent number: 8535409
    Abstract: A control method for melting a metal charge in a furnace comprising at least a hearth containing the metal charge and a roof. The method provides that the hearth is weighed by means of a plurality of weighing elements distributed along the perimeter of the base of the hearth, and that the values detected by the plurality of weighing elements are sent to a control unit in order to obtain information relating to the distribution of the metal charge inside the hearth.

  • Patent number: 6957484
    Abstract: A method for reworking a connector attached to an electronic board and including a plurality of stacked modules thereon. The method comprises providing a tool with a holding structure for holding the board and having first and second jaws for grasping and removing a selected one of the modules from the board, at least one of the jaws having a wedge and a slit for receiving the selected module, the tool having a first drive structure for moving the jaws between an open and a closed position along a direction parallel to the selected module, a second drive structure for moving the jaws along a direction perpendicular to the board and a third drive structure for moving the jaws along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector, wherein the wedge separates an adjacent module from the selected module to be removed from the connector.
