| 20080236778 | Wire injection lance nozzle insert - A lance nozzle insert for a refractory lance for feeding an additive wire into a quantity of molten metal below the surface of the molten metal surface is made of a material comprising stabilized zirconium oxide and graphite substantially increasing the corrosion resistance of the lance nozzle insert. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090047425 | Calcium Enriched Refractory Material by the Addition of Calcium Carbonate - The composition applied to the refractory structure has a magnesia-based refractory material, calcium carbonate and a binder. After application of the refractory material to a refractory structure and upon application of heat to the applied refractory material a matrix is formed which protects against penetration of the slag into the refractory material. The resulting refractory material has improved hot strength, slag resistance and durability. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090057964 | Rotary lance - A process and apparatus for feeding an additive to a molten metal in a vessel to achieve a uniform dispersion of the additive are provided. In one example, the outlet of the lance is positioned below the surface of the molten metal. The lance is moved with a reciprocating motion, so that the outlet of the lance moves below the surface of the molten metal. The additive is dispensed through the outlet of the lance along a path traversed by the outlet in the molten metal while the lance reciprocates. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090311553 | STRAND CLADDING OF CALCIUM WIRE - A cored reactive metal wire is formed by gathering at least three strands of continuously fed elongated reactive metal wires into a bundle and aligning the bundle of wires with a continuously fed sheet of metal sheath. The bundle of wires is then compacted into a generally cylindrical shape and clad with the sheet of metal sheath whereby the compacted bundle of reactive metal wires form a core of the cored wire in which the core has a substantially larger diameter than each of the strands of continuously fed elongated reactive metal wires. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100189896 | CALCIUM ENRICHED REFRACTORY MATERIAL BY THE ADDITION OF CALCIUM CARBONATE - The composition applied to the refractory structure has a magnesia-based refractory material, calcia source and a binder. After application of the refractory material to a refractory structure and upon application of heat to the applied refractory material a matrix is formed which protects against penetration of the slag into the refractory material. The resulting refractory material has improved hot strength, slag resistance and durability. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20110206808 | Non-dairy, non-soy whippable food product and method of making - A whippable food product and a method of making the same are disclosed. The finished product is packaged by an aseptic packaging process. It is shelf-stable (ingredients do not degrade or segregate during storage) at ambient temperatures for an extended period of time, and it whips stiff to form a uniform creamy topping in a short period of time. The product is free of dairy and animal products/by-products, thus suitable for vegan, kosher, or vegetarian consumption. Also, the product does not contain soy products and/or questionable ingredients such as processed oils or chemical additives, etc. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110281011 | NON-DAIRY, NON-SOY WHIPPABLE FOOD PRODUCT WITH FRUIT JUICE AND METHOD OF MAKING - A whippable food product and a method of making the same are disclosed. The finished product is packaged by an aseptic packaging process. It is shelf-stable (ingredients do not degrade or segregate during storage) at ambient temperatures for an extended period of time, and it whips stiff to form a uniform creamy topping in a short period of time. The product is free of dairy and animal products/by-products, thus suitable for vegan, kosher, or vegetarian consumption. Also, the product does not contain soy products and/or questionable ingredients such as processed oils or chemical additives, etc. Fruit juice or another acidulant is added to the product for extending the whipping potential of the food product and adding fruit flavoring. | 11-17-2011 |
