| 20090242165 | Modulated electromagnetic stirring of metals at advanced stage of solidification - A method and apparatus for electromagnetic stirring of molten metals at an advanced stage of solidification, as may be used in continuous casting of steel billets and blooms, are disclosed. At least first and second stirrers are provided for generating first and second rotating magnetic fields of a differing frequency about an axis of solidifying molten metal. The stirrers are arranged about the molten metal in sufficiently close proximity to each other so that their respective magnetic fields superpose to produce a modulated magnetic field. The magnetic fields of the respective stirrers may either have common or opposing rotational directions. The modulated stirring produced by the magnetic fields results in oscillating primary and secondary flows and hence turbulence within the melt bulk in the region wherein temperature of the melt on its central axis is below the liquidus level and at least 10% of substantially solidified material is formed. Turbulent flow created by this stirring method disrupts formation of crystalline structures in the melt bulk and mixes solute enriched melt of the central region with the bulk volume which subsequently results in improvements of the solidification structure and overall internal quality of the cast products. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20110048669 | ELECTROMAGNETIC STIRRER ARRANGEMENT WITH CONTINUOUS CASTING OF STEEL BILLETS AND BLOOM - An electromagnetic stirrer arrangement includes a housing having a bottom opening and a top opening. An electromagnetic stirrer is positioned inside the housing. A modular mold assembly includes a mold, a water jacket, a top plate, a bottom plate and a plurality of rods connecting the top and bottom plates. The mold has an open top and an open bottom. The top plate is positioned proximate to the open top of the mold and the bottom plate is positioned proximate to the open bottom of the mold. The connecting rods extend between and securing together the top and bottom plate. The modular mold assembly can easily be replaced by inserting it into or removing from the housing. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090326830 | INTERPRETING DNA - Methods for establishing the genotype of a DNA sample, and methods for investigating the potential sources of a DNA sample arising from a plurality of source, are provided, the methods being based on a method including: analysing the sample to produce a data profile for the sample for a locus; proposing a suggested genotype; generating a first stage profile for the locus for the suggested genotype; adjusting the first stage profile to account for one or more factors to give a simulation profile; and comparing the data profile and the simulation profile to provide an indication of the likelihood of the data profile given the suggested genotype. The methods in effect make adjustments to take the first stage profile, potentially through one or more intervening profiles, to the simulation profile, the simulation profile being an anticipation of the data profile which would be expected to occur for that suggested genotype in practice. The methods potentially include adjustments for one or more of preferential amplification and/or stutter and/or allele drop out and/or allele drop in and/or stochastic components and/or noise and/or preferential degradation and/or the relative contributions from the sources. | 12-31-2009 |
