  • HMI FRAMEWORK FOR EXTENSIBLE AUTOMATION SYSTEM ENGINEERING PLATFORMS
    Publication number: 20110093800
    Abstract: A GUI framework leverages interfaces of extensible engineering platforms to provide a tool that easily constructs HMIs for automation systems. The GUI framework can import existing GUI components and/or create new GUI components. The GUI framework can also combine basic GUI components to create complex composite GUI components. An import mechanism can also be employed to import existing GUI components by encapsulating them in common, reusable software code that is compatible with an extensible engineering platform. The GUI framework utilizes function blocks to represent the GUI components and automatically generates GUI function block networks with linking as required. This allows complex GUIs to be created with minimal user effort.

  • Method of producing iron and steel from iron ore
    Patent number: 3951644
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of producing molten iron and steel from iron ore wherein the iron ore is charged to a shaft furnace along with coke and limestone and the mixture is blasted with a heated gas so that the iron ore is reduced to pig iron. By the present invention, at least a portion of the furnace residue gas stream containing carbon monoxide is oxidized so that a heated gas stream is produced and oxygen is combined therewith. The resulting heated oxygen enriched gas stream is recycled into the furnace as blast gas.
