Title: Secondary-side passive residual heat discharge system for nuclear power plant steam generator
Inventor: HUANG WEI
IPC: G21C15/18
Filed: 2013-08-19
Abstract: A secondary-side passive residual heat discharge system for a nuclear power plant steam generator, comprising a cooling water tank (3) filled with water and disposed on the periphery of a reactor containment casing (11), a heat exchanger (2) immersed at the bottom of the cooling water tank, a first residual heat discharge pipeline (12) having one end extend out through the containment casing and connect to the inlet of the heat exchanger, a steam pipeline isolation valve (5) disposed on the first residual heat discharge pipeline, a second residual heat discharge pipeline (13) having one end extend out through the containment casing and connect to the outlet of the heat exchanger, and a first set of isolation valves (7) disposed on the second residual heat discharge pipeline; the other end of the first residual heat discharge pipeline is connected to a steam pipeline (9) at the upper end of the steam generator (1); the other end of the second residual heat discharge pipeline is connected to the water supply pipeline (10) of the steam generator. When the whole plant has a power outage and the power plant loses the ability to discharge the residual heat of the whole active reactor core, the system can utilize the density difference between the steam and water as a driving force to operate "passively" to discharge the reactor core residual heat for an extended length of time, thus keeping the reactor in a safe state.

Filed: 2015-04-12
Abstract: This application is for a system of network attached storage devices 2 each of which has two wireless network ports. This allows each network attached storage device to connect to a client computer 1, or device, via a private wireless network 3, and to the local computer network via a separate wireless network 4. There is an internal Ethernet bridge between the two ports, which can filter packet data from the storage devices to the computers so that the user only sees a single network device with a single network domain name. The system also includes software that shows a virtualised distributed file system, which presents an amalgamation of all of the storage apparatuses in a single large storage element to each computer. The software can also automatically copy files from one storage apparatus to another, exchange wireless information and move infrequently accessed files to less full storage devices.

Title: Egress expansion hinge
Inventor: RONALD CALVEY
IPC: E05D15/58
Filed: 2016-02-15
Abstract: A hinge assembly allowing a window to be fully hinged open, pivoting 180 degrees. The hinge assembly has a first channel sections CS(A), holding a shuttle carriage SCa pivotally connected to a short lever SLa and long lever LLa. A second channel section CS(B) is slidably attached to the long lever, and attached to a bridge plate BP. The short lever holds a third channel section CS(C) with an extension lever EL. To open, a window first pivots then slides out upon the levers, and pivots again on a second hinge on the long lever. The second hinge can only move once it is exposed after the sliding movement. This allows a window to hinge open 180 degrees. In a second embodiment, once the window is partly opened, it can be moved sideways by sliding the shuttle carriage along channel section A before hinging further to the full 180 degree pivot. This brings the reversed window to a position in front of the window frame.

Title: Cryostat with active neck tube cooling by a second cryogen
Inventor: Patrick Wikus
IPC: F25D19/00
Filed: 2016-06-15
Abstract: A cryostat arrangement with an outer jacket (1) and a first tank (2) has a first cryogen and a second tank (16) with a second liquid cryogen, which boils at a higher temperature than the first cryogen. The first tank comprises a neck tube (4), whose hot upper end (5) is connected to the outer jacket (1) at ambient temperature and whose cold lower end (6) is connected to the first tank at a cryogenic temperature, is characterized in that a riser pipe (3) protruding into the second tank is provided, through which the second liquid cryogen can flow out of the second tank. The lower end of the riser pipe ends in the second liquid cryogen in the second tank. A first heat exchanger (7) is provided, into which the riser pipe opens directly or indirectly with its upper end. The first heat exchanger has an outflow line (17) through which the second cryogen evaporating from the first heat exchanger can flow out. The first heat exchanger is in thermal contact with the neck tube. The neck tube provides local cooling by means of the second cryogen from the riser pipe. It is thus possible to greatly reduce the heat input originating from the neck tube into the first tank, in particular by using a second cryogen, which is normally much less expensive, wherein the existing equipment may be retrofitted easily.
