Patent number: 8598486Abstract: A method and an apparatus for treating return ores using plasma, capable of treating sintered return ores generated in a sintering process in a steel maker or return ores (iron ores) employed in other ironmaking process such as FINEX. The method of treating return ores using plasma includes: providing return ores sorted out by a sorting process; and bonding the return ores by fusing and agglomerating the return ores using plasma. Also, an apparatus for treating return ores using plasma includes a plasma heating device used to fuse and agglomerate sorted return ores. The return ores of a predetermined grain size are fusion-bonded and agglomerated using a flame of a plasma heating device. Particularly, the return ores can be treated in a massive amount to enhance productivity of a fusion-bonding process of the return ores. Furthermore, a great amount of sintered return ores generated in the sintering process can be subjected to a fewer number of re-treatment processes.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2012Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: PoscoInventors: Shin Il Kim, Joo Kang, Jong Nam Lee, Won Hee Lee

Patent number: 8128800Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mold for producing a light guide panel and a method of manufacturing the light guide panel using the mold are presented. The mold is made by manufacturing a pattern master on which a fine pattern is formed. A side mold for forming a light-receiving surface of a light guide panel is immersed in an electrolyte containing metal ions, along with the pattern master. A voltage is applied to the electrolyte and the side mold such that the fine pattern on the pattern master is transferred to the side mold with the metal ions in the electrolyte, forming a prism pattern forming portion on the side mold. The prism pattern is formed on a light-receiving portion of the light guide panel using the side mold thus prepared. The shape accuracy and surface accuracy of the prism pattern are improved by using the presented method.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jeong Min Seo, Young Bee Chu, Dong Cheol Kim, Jong Nam Lee

Patent number: 6501573Abstract: The monitoring of the qualities of the optical signal transmitted from a light amplifying relay and nodes of transmission networks. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for correct monitoring the qualities of the optical signal. While conventional methods monitor the qualities of the optical signal solely by the intensity of the optical signal, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for extracting the clock component of data from the optical signal transmitted and measuring the magnitude and then detecting the presence or absence of the signal and the error rate upon receiving the deteriorated signal due to the chromatic dispersion. The present invention comprises the simple measuring apparatus having a optical coupler 1, a signal conversion means 2, a narrow optical detector 3, a super high frequency rectifier 4 and a voltage detector 5.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1999Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Korea Advanced Institute Science and TechnologyInventors: Chang Hee Lee, Yun Chur Chung, Sang Young Shin, Jong Nam Lee
