Abstract: Process to decarburize steel are described. A process can include contacting carbon dioxide with molten steel in an electric arc furnace, a ladle furnace, or a vacuum degassing unit, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: This disclosure includes an electric arc furnace including a body comprising an eccentric bottom tap-hole (EBT) which connects an inner surface of the body to an outer surface of the body, and a tilting device which tilts the body of the electric arc furnace to an electric arc furnace tilting angle, wherein an angle of the EBT through the body is greater than 0° and less than 50°, wherein the angle of the EBT through the body is defined with 103 respect to an axis that is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the body. This disclosure includes a process of tapping the electric arc furnace, whereby the electric arc furnace containing a molten metal is tilted at an electric arc furnace tilting angle that is substantially equal to the angle of the EBT, and the molten metal is tapped into a vessel through the EBT.

Abstract: A short message service parser is disclosed. The short message service parser is typically a computer server programmed by computer software. The short message service parser has the ability to handle different short message service messages from different senders and process, analyze, parse, and reformat the messages. The messages are typically reformatted into a format readable for various backend computer systems available on a computer network. The backend computer system processes a request or a transaction and returns a result back to the short message service parser. The short message service parser sends the results back to a sender device, which may be a cellular telephone.
