Abstract: A system, computer product and method is provided for PKI enabled data communication at a browser. A PKI enabled browser is loaded one or more network-connected device. The PKI enabled browser requests a web page from a web server. The web page is downloaded to the PKI enabled browser. The PKI enabled browser includes a PKI operation module which conducts one or more PKI operations corresponding to the particular web page downloaded. These operations may include encrypting data, decrypting data, authenticating data, or verifying digital signatures. The invention permits PKI enabled posting of data to a remote computer, including from a wireless device, as well as PKI enabled retrieval of data at a computer from a remote computer, including at a wireless device. The PKI enabled browser of the invention is supported by a web server that includes a web application that facilitates PKI enabled data transactions at the PKI enabled browser.

Abstract: A computerized method of assisting the routing of a part, comprising the steps of: providing at least one computer; receiving part identifier information; and generating a tag for affixing to the part. The tag has information thereon responsive to the identifier information. A computerized method of assisting the handling of a part, comprising the steps of: providing at least one computer; receiving part identifier information; processing the part identifier information; and generating output from the computer responsive to the part identifier information.

Abstract: A cementitious formulation which is self-setting when mixed with water, and which can be cast into monolithic refractory components capable of resisting molten metal and repeated thermal shocks, has three main components: high purity magnesia (at least 94% by weight being MgO); high purity alumina (at least 98% by weight Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) and high alumina cement (preferably 75% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) by weight, or greater). The magnesia may be 60 to 95% by weight of the three components and the alumina amounts to at least 1% by weight of the three components. Castings produced from the formulation can survive repeated flame testing even after exposure to firing at elevated temperature: known, conventionally pressed and similarly fired magnesia refractories may not survive a single flame test.

Abstract: A sliding gate valve slide plate in a can has an integral collector nozzle and is formed as two conjoined refractory concrete mouldings with a cup or trough shaped metal foil lying in the joint therebetween. The foil is oxidisable in service to form a bond between the concretes. The concretes may be of different formulations, and the moulding with which molten metal makes contact is preferably the more resistant to the rigorous environment presented by flowing molten metal.The slide plate is cast in two steps using the shaped foil and the can as respective lost mould members which coact with a planar polished surface to produce a cast slide plate needing effectively no finish grinding before installation in a valve.
