Publication number: 20070246184Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for verifying the treatment of molten metal wherein a sensing device detects an in situ response resulting from the treatment of the molten metal. The in situ response is compared to a pre-set limit or condition in order to determine whether or not proper treatment of the molten metal has occurred. In particular, the sensing device detects an in situ response resulting from the mixture of a molten metal addition to a molten metal. An electronic transformation device can be used to transform the in situ response into a response data set. The response data set can be transmitted to and received by a microprocessor. The microprocessor can manipulate the response data set. The in situ response to the treatment of the molten metal can be in the form of heat, light intensity, light wavelength, density of smoke particles, composition of smoke particles, mechanical vibration and combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: THYSSENKRUPP--WAUPACA DIVISIONInventors: Ronald Thurston, Robert Jezwinski, Gene A.

Publication number: 20070246185Abstract: A casting mold and method for its use to achieve in-mold modification of the casting metal is disclosed. One or more chambers are located within the casting mold's runner system. Each chamber can contain metallurgical modifiers for adjusting the chemical composition of the metal to improve the mechanical and physical properties of an article cast from the metal. One or more modifiers can be placed in the chamber(s) as the casting mold is assembled for use. As the melt is introduced to the casting mold, it passes through the chamber(s) and liquefies the modifier. Amounts of the liquid modifier, then, are carried away and become dispersed in the melt as it continues through the runner system and into the mold cavity. The metallurgical modifiers can be selected from any number of known additives or alloying elements, including strontium, among others.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Inventors: Kenneth Stahl, Venkatramanan Srinivasan, James Singer, Edward Wall, Mark Osborne

Publication number: 20070246186Abstract: A continuous casting mould comprises a mould tube (12), a mould jacket (24) surrounding the mould tube (12), a cooling system (26) within the mould jacket (24) for cooling the mould tube (12), an oscillating lever (40) supporting the mould tube (12). The oscillating lever (40) is capable of oscillating about a pivoting axis (45) substantially perpendicular to a casting plane containing the casting axis (20) for transmitting mechanical oscillations to the mould tube (12). An oscillating mould cover (30) associated with the top end of the mould jacket (24). The mould tube (12) is supported with its upper end by the oscillating mould cover (30), and is itself pivotably supported by the oscillating lever (40) outside of the mould jacket (24). A sealing element, e.g. an annular lip seal (90), provides sealing between the oscillating mould cover (30) and the top end of the mould jacket (24).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2005Publication date: October 25, 2007Inventors: Emile Lonardi, Michel Houbart, Charles Assa, Marc Wies

Publication number: 20070246189Abstract: A heat sink includes a first array of fins defining a plurality of first channels therebetween, a second array of fins disposed at opposite sides of the first array of fins, and a plurality of grooves extending through the first array of fins and the second array of fins. The second array of fins defines a plurality of second channels therebetween. The grooves are intersected with the first channels and the second channels. A bottom extremity of each groove has a curved shape facing upwardly and laterally. A portion of an airflow generated by a fan mounted on a top of the heat sink flows laterally and downwardly through the grooves to leave the heat sink.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2006Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Yu-Chen Lin, Hong-Bo Xu

Publication number: 20070246190Abstract: A heat dissipating structure having different compactness assembled from a plurality of small heat dissipating fins, thereby forming heat dissipation areas having different spacing. The heat dissipating fins are stamp formed from single strips, and spacing of each of the heat dissipating fins is predetermined when assembling to constitute the structure. The heat dissipating fins are completed from a single stamping, and can be assembled to form heat dissipation areas of different spacing to accommodate a cool air flow being fanned from different oriented fans, thereby reducing obstruction and disturbance of the air flow and rapidly and smoothly guiding the air flow to other heat dissipating fins. Moreover, the heat dissipating structure enlarges area of heat circulation, thereby augmenting speed of heat diffusion, improving heat dissipation effect on heat emitting from computer electronic components, and enhancing functionality of the fan.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2006Publication date: October 25, 2007Inventor: Wen-Chen Wei
