  • Patent number: 11377700
    Abstract: A method of operating an ironmaking or steelmaking plant with low CO2-emissions is provided. Hydrogen and oxygen are generated by water decomposition and at least part of the generated hydrogen is injected as a reducing gas into one or more ironmaking furnaces with off-gas decarbonation and reinjection into the furnaces of at least a significant part of the decarbonated off-gas and at least part of the generated oxygen is injected as an oxidizing gas in the one or more ironmaking.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9383629
    Abstract: A camera stand is disclosed, that can be fastened and secured onto a post or the like via an attachment means. The camera stand is further comprised of a base plate and a reversible nut on which one can attach a camera or other recording device. A telescopic arm links the attachment means to the base plate, such that once the camera stand is secured onto a post or the like, the telescopic arm is either retracted or extended depending on the desired position of the camera. The camera stand is generally designed to be secured onto a boat in order for one to film or take pictures while boating and fishing; however, it is clear that the camera stand can be applied in a plethora of situations where pictures or film need to be taken from a particular vantage point.

  • Patent number: 6516142
    Abstract: The heater includes a resistance heating element comprising a resistance heating wire having a pair of terminal ends connected to a pair of electrical connectors and encapsulated with a thin electrically insulating polymeric layer. The resistance heating wire is capable of maintaining a fluid initially heated by a primary heat source substantially at the desired use temperature. A first connecting body is configured to couple to the section of piping containing the fluid. The connecting body includes a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet port, a fluid passageway defined between the fluid inlet and outlet ports, and an electrical connection port. The resistance heating element is disposed at least partially within the fluid passageway and at least a first one of the terminal ends is coupled to a respective one of the pair of electrical connectors through the electrical connection port.
