20100206132 | METHOD FOR TREATING SLAG FLOWING FROM A METALLURGICAL VESSEL AND A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD - The invention relates to steel production in the steel and iron industry. The inventive method consists in dividing a solid slag stream which flows from a metallurgical vessel and falls down, into individual streams along the solid stream, in forcedly cooling the thus obtained individual streams, in dividing the individual streams into parts (pieces) by cutting across the movement thereof, in forcedly cooling said parts and transferring to a belt conveyor, on which said separate parts/pieces are forcedly cooled and transported away from the vessel. A shaped (with containers) conveyor belt, on which the slag pieces are crushed by means of a cylindrical roll, is used for additional crushing. The inventive device for carrying out the totality of the above-listed operations, comprises at least three throat grates which are horizontally positioned in an assembled body and one of which is provided with a drive for carrying out reciprocating motion. The device also comprises a drive for displacing to/from the vessel. In the position closest to the vessel, the device is fed with air and water from a stationary plant for forcedly cooling the individual slam streams and the parts (pieces) of slam. The throat grate displacing drives and a conveyor belt drive are mounted on the device assembled body, and the roll and a drive for rotating it, when the shaped belt is used, are fastened thereto. The ribs of the throat grate are made from tensioned steel ropes. | 08-19-2010 |

20130328907 | Method and Apparatus for Image Data Transformation - Image data is transformed for display on a target display. A sigmoidal transfer function provides a free parameter controlling min-tone contrast. The transfer function may be dynamically adjusted to accommodate changing ambient lighting conditions. The transformation may be selected so as to automatically adapt image data for display on a target display in a way that substantially preserves creative intent embodied in the image data. The image data may be video data. | 12-12-2013 |

20090197225 | READING LEVEL ASSESSMENT METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR HIGH-STAKES TESTING APPLICATIONS - A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for automatically assessing text difficulty. Text reading difficulty predictions are expressed on a scale that is aligned with published reading standards. Two distinct difficulty models are provided for informational and literary texts. A principal components analysis implemented on a large collection of texts is used to develop independent variables accounting for strong intercorrelations exhibited by many important linguistic features. Multiple dimensions of text variation are addressed, including new dimensions beyond syntactic complexity and semantic difficulty. Feedback about text difficulty is provided in a hierarchically structured format designed to support successful text adaptation efforts. The invention ensures that resulting text difficulty estimates are unbiased with respect to genre, are highly correlated with estimates provided by human experts, and are based on a more realistic model of the aspects of text variation that contribute to observed difficulty variation. | 08-06-2009 |
20120150534 | Computer-Implemented Systems and Methods for Determining a Difficulty Level of a Text - Systems and methods are provided for determining a difficulty level of a text. A determination is made as to a number of cohesive devices present in a text. A further determination is made as to a number of cohesive devices expected in the text. A cohesiveness metric is calculated based on the number of cohesive devices present in the text and the number of cohesive devices expected in the text, where the cohesiveness metric is used to identify a difficulty level of the text. | 06-14-2012 |
