Publication number: 20230012857Abstract: Provided is a method of, in ladle refining treatment of a molten steel, accurately estimating the molten steel temperature after the ladle refining treatment. An operation method of ladle refining treatment by which ladle refining treatment of a molten steel is performed while continuously measuring a molten steel temperature during operation of the ladle refining treatment of the molten steel comprises setting a time earlier than a scheduled ending time of the ladle refining treatment in a continuous measurement period of the molten steel temperature as a determination timing, and estimating the molten steel temperature at the scheduled ending time on the basis of a change with time of the molten steel temperature in continuous measured data of the molten steel temperature from a start of continuous measurement of the molten steel temperature to the determination timing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2020Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: JFE STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuaki HIRAKAWA, Koichiro HIRATA, Isao SHIMODA, Takashi YAMAUCHI, Hirohide UEHARA

Publication number: 20130097949Abstract: A design method for a building which enables an efficient design or construction and is environment-friendly by suppressing the occurrence of damaged materials to a minimum, and a building which can be constructed at a low cost are provided in such a manner that when the building is designed, a boundary surface in the height direction of a substantially effective width (working width) in an exterior member, a so-called siding panel, which occupies relatively high cost is set to be an indicator for determining an arrangement position of a window, a balcony, a canopy, further a main entrance or the like. When a building 1 is constructed, a lower limit position or an upper limit position of the attachment position of a window 11, a canopy, a balcony, a main entrance and a parapet which are arranged at an outer wall thereof is determined by setting a working width of exterior members 13a to 131 which are used in constructing the outer wall of the building 1 and have a constant shape, as an indicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2010Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: NICE HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Koichiro Hirata, Toshihiko Toda, Hideaki Yamazaki
