| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20110158767 | REDUCED MATERIAL, CONTENT FASTENERS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME Reduced material content fasteners are provided that have a reduced material content portion between working ends allowing the fastener to have less weight with equal or better break and torque strengths. Systems and methods are provided for manufacturing reduced materi... | 06/30/2011 |
| 20110030432 | ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR USE IN OPTIMIZING DIMENSIONAL QUALITY IN HOT AND COLD ROLLLING MILLS A device and method for prediction and/or control of the profile and/or shape of rolled metal strip. The device and method are compatible with both cluster-type and non cluster-type mills. The device and method employ a customized deflection model of the rolling mill, t... | 02/10/2011 |
| 20090326700 | Method for monitoring the physical state of a hot-rolled sheet or hot-rolled strip while controlling a plate rolling train for working a hot-rolled sheet or hot-rolled strip A method of monitoring the physical state of a hot-rolled sheet or hot-rolled strip while controlling a plate rolling train for the reversing working a hot-rolled sheet or hot-rolled strip is disclosed. For the reversing rolling of the hot-rolled sheet or hot-rolled str... | 12/31/2009 |
| 20080234854 | ROOF AND WALL CONSTRUCTION The invention relates to roll forming roofing and walling sheets that have pre-cut or pre-marked ends and packing the sheets. The invention includes applying a particular set of rules to a roll forming schedule produced by a current program, such as an Applicad Roof Wiz... | 09/25/2008 |
| 20050131572 | Method for controlling an industrial process The invention relates to a method for controlling an industrial process for manufacturing or processing a product, in particular for controlling the cooling line of a hot-rolling mill, said cooling line being simulated by a physical model. To optimize the cooling proces... | 06/16/2005 |
| 20050125091 | Computer-aided method for determing desired values for controlling elements of profile and surface evenness Input variables, which describe a metal strip prior to and after the passage of a rolling frame, are fed to a material flow model. The material flow model determines online a rolling force progression in the direction of the width of the strip and fees said progression ... | 06/09/2005 |
