Abstract: A method and system for processing molten slag is characterized in that molten slag is first spread onto a slag receiving means which is substantially made of a steel plate of desired thickness and is tiltably mounted on the floor of a roofed slag processing factory and is subsequently air and water-cooled such that the slag is solidified and finally is water-quenched in a cooling water pit whereby the resulting solidified slag is of practical use which neither collapses nor produces dust.

Abstract: This application discloses a marbleized soap bar plodder comprising a multi-thread extruding screw, each of the threads of which extrudes a different colored soap material, and a means for closing one or more of the thread grooves of said extruding screw, wherein said closure means is not fixed to the screw.

Abstract: An ignition timing control member extends through the center of a first vacuum chamber having a central movable sleeve adapted to be contacted by a flange on the control member to limit movement thereof in a direction to advance the ignition timing. The first vacuum chamber is connected to be responsive to vacuum intensity at a first vacuum outlet communicating with the engine intake passage near the throttle valve and upstream therefrom. The control member is moved by vacuum intensity within a second vacuum chamber connected through a selector valve assembly to a second vacuum outlet connected to the engine intake passage downstream from the throttle valve.

Abstract: Apparatus to detect deceleration of a motor vehicle having an automatic transmission includes a first electrical switch operated by release of pressure from the accelerator pedal and a second electrical switch operated by application of pressure to the brake pedal. A detector device having an output signal is connected in parallel with the electric switches. The output signal of the detector device is employed to vary the spark timing of an internal combustion engine. In a modification, the electric switches are connected in series.

Abstract: A cationic dye compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein the group ##STR2## represents an unsubstituted or 4 and/or 5-substituted thiazole ring, or an unsubstituted or 6-substituted benzothiazole ring, B represents an indolyl group represented by the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an aralkyl or an aryl, said aryl may have an alkyl having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, an alkoxy having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, a halogen, cyano or nitro, and R.sub.2 represents hydrogen, an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl, an acyloxyalkyl, a haloalkyl, a cyanoalkyl or a carbamoylalkyl, or an anilino group represented by the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, an alkyl having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, an alkoxy having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, a halogen, cyano or nitro, R.sub.4 and R.sub.

Abstract: The particular embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is specifically designed to clean the inside of a hollow body, especially, that of an ingot mold. For this purpose, the invention provides a cleaning apparatus comprising mainly a rotating means, an elevating means, a rotating shaft and a cleaning means for insertion into an ingot mold and the cleaning of the inside thereof.

Abstract: A product and method of producing a spheroidal graphite cast iron pipe of ferritic structure by casting in a non-chilled condition and by providing a controlled low rate of dissipation of the self-heat of the pipe within a heat dissipation rate controlling furnace or a sealed or insulated centrifugal casting mold.

Abstract: A refining means for obtaining high duty spheroidal graphite cast iron through heating molten pig iron in an arc furnace to above the decomposition temperature of silicon oxide in the presence of carbon, such as 1500.degree.C, whereupon a refining agent containing quick lime, graphite powder, calcium silicate, and calcium carbonate is allowed to react in refining through deoxidation and de-sulphurization.
