Publication number: 20170297113Abstract: Metallurgical processes and systems for gas atomization of molten slag and/or molten metals from a metallurgical furnace are integrated with off-gas handling processes and equipment, such that the off-gases are fed to the gas atomization plant for atomizing the molten slag and/or molten metal. The use of by-product off-gases for atomizing molten slag and/or molten metals provides a number of benefits, including elimination of off-gas handling and treatment equipment, centralization and upgrading of heat via atomization to improve heat recovery, prevention of oxidation of granular products of atomization, and reduction of CO2 emissions. A process for preparing a granular product comprises: feeding a molten material and a by-product off-gas to a dispersion apparatus; and contacting the gas with the molten material in the dispersion apparatus, whereby the molten material is dispersed and solidified by contact with the gas to form the granular product.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2015Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Santiago Faucher, Sina Mostaghel, Lai Chi So, Matthew Cramer

Publication number: 20050116213Abstract: A mesh fence including a mesh, and a pole assembly secured to the mesh. The pole assembly includes a receiving member with a channel and a retaining member, at least a portion of the retaining member being dimensioned to be received in the channel of the receiving member together with a segment of the mesh retained in the channel. An anchoring device is also disclosed for securing a fence pole to a surface. Another aspect of the invention is a method for assembling a mesh fence.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2004Publication date: June 2, 2005Inventors: Donald Dahowski, Kenneth Shertzer, Matthew Cramer, Roy Potter, James Wilson

Patent number: 6655098Abstract: An improvement to a stair module support system includes a flexible engagement between a post and a channel attached to the underside of a stair module. The flexible engagement enables the stair module support system to be assembled and placed into a stored configuration with each post received by a corresponding channel. The system may then be shipped to an installation site where the posts may be rotated to a deployed position without requiring further assembly or tools.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Quaker Plastic CorporationInventors: William A. Dillen, II, Donald E. Dahowski, Allen L. Kinner, Matthew A. Cramer, James G. Wilson
