  • Publication number: 20260258514
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing molten pig iron into an electrical smelting unit. The method includes the following successive steps: providing a directly reduced iron product, feeding the DRI product into the smelting unit, feeding together with the DRI product at least one steel or ironmaking by-product-based material having an iron content upper than 20% in weight, at least a part of the iron being under an oxidized form, melting the DRI product and the at least one steel or ironmaking by-product-based material to produce molten pig iron. A steel manufacturing method using the pig iron is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11497558
    Abstract: A method for determining the positioning in deployed position of an expandable medical device type implant, including, from a three-dimensional image of a region of interest including the vascular structure, the following steps: determination of a centreline of the vascular structure, positioning of the IMD according to an initial position, around the centreline, simulation of the final position of the IMD after deployment, as a function of the stresses exerted by the walls of the vascular structure on the IMD, the determination of the centreline consisting in placing points so as to minimise a travel time of fluid along said points between an input point and an output point, the simulation of the final position of the IMD taking account of a level of longitudinal push-pull intended to be applied to the IMD during its implantation.
