Patent EP-1316968-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAMOSHIDA MAMORU
IPC: G21F3/00
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A high-polymer neutron shielding material which
scarcely reduces the hydrogen number density when exposed
to a high temperature of 150 to 200°C for a long time
period 
     A heat-setting type epoxy resin is employed. The base
resin is selected from various epoxy resins such as
bisphenol A type epoxy resin. The hardener is selected
from alicyclic polyamine, polyamide amine, aromatic
polyamine, acid anhydride, and so on. These materials are
mixed and hardened at a temperature higher than the room
temperature. To give a flame resistance to the hardened
resin, a fire retardant such as magnesium hydroxide is
added to the mixture. To improve the neutron shielding
performance of the hardened resin, a neutron absorbing
material is added to the mixture. Further, to increase
the moderating performance, hydrogenated bisphenol A
epoxy resin is used as the base resin or metal hydride or
hydrogen absorbing alloy is added. The present neutron
shielding material works as a significant neutron
shielding material as its hydrogen number density does
not go down for a long time under a high-temperature
condition and the neutron shielding performance does not
go down.

Abstract: A curve interpolation method capable of obtaining a curve approximating an original curve based on a sequence of command points within a tolerance set for the original curve, and performing interpolation on the obtained curve. Points Q1, ..., Q2n are interpolated between respective two adjacent command points (P0, P1), (P1, P2), ..., (Pn-1, Pn) as shape-defining points. The shape-defining points are positioned within a tolerance width 2w set to the original curve. One shape-defining point and shape-defining points surrounding the one shape-defining point are successively selected and an approximate curve for the selected shape-defining points is successively created. The one shape-defining point is moved towards the approximate curve to determine a modified shape-defining point for the one shape-defining point. A smooth curve passing a sequence of the modified shape-defining points is created and interpolation for machining is performed on the created curve. Since the shape-defining points are positioned closer to an original target curve within a tolerance width set to the original curve than the command points, the created smooth curve passing the sequence of modified shape-defining points approximates well to the original target curve within the tolerance width.
