| 20120061872 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GRANULES FROM POWDERED MATERIALS - The present invention relates to a process for the wet production of granules from powdered materials, in particular raw materials for the production of glass. The process of the invention comprises the following successive steps: (i) the powdered materials to be granulated are divided into at least two portions: a first portion and a second portion; (ii) a binder liquid is added to the first portion of powdered materials; (iii) the first mixture thus obtained is agglomerated in the granulator in order to obtain granules (a); (iv) the second portion of powdered materials is added to the granulator; and (v) the new mixture obtained is agglomerated in the granulator in order to obtain granules (b). This sequenced granulation process allows granules to be obtained that have a degree of moisture that assures their stability and their ease of handling eliminating the drying step. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20110183831 | GLASS ARTICLE WITH IMPROVED CHEMICAL RESISTANCE - It is possible to reduce the time required for a path recalculation and a path switching upon occurrence of a failure. A path generation unit of a transport control server (TCS) S-1 generates normal path information in accordance with information relating to topology of a network to be established and resource information. Moreover, the path generation unit generates in advance backup path information to be used upon occurrence of a failure in accordance with the prediction topology information and the prediction resource information which have been modified in accordance with a predicted failure position. The path generation unit stores the generated prediction path information in a data storage unit. The TCS (S-1) has a path information report unit which reports the generated normal path information to a node N. The TCS (S-1) also has a failure information acquisition unit which detects occurrence of a failure. When the failure information acquisition unit detects an occurrence of a failure, the path information report unit reports the backup path information stored in the data storage unit to the node N. | 07-28-2011 |
