Title: Method to remove and process gaseous waste from a molten salt nuclear reactor
Inventor: SCOTT IAN RICHARD
IPC: G21C3/54
Filed: 2014-03-20
Abstract: The disposal of gaseous fission products from the fuel tubes of a molten salt reactor may be deferred until the fuel tubes are removed from the reactor for replacement and reprocessing provided the rate of evolution of said gases, the available gas space above the fuel salt and the strength of the fuel tube wall allow the safe accumulation of said gases for the planned life of the fuel tube. For reactors not meeting the above criteria, however, each fuel tube may be pierced or perforated at one or more points above the level of the fuel salt therein, and above the level of a surrounding coolant within the reactor, so that fission product gases can escape into the gas space within the reactor tank. The gaseous fission products may then be collected from the reactor by continually purging said gas space with a circulating stream of helium gas.

Title: Method for providing an airport model
Inventor: FRAZER LESLIE PEREIRA
IPC: G08G5/06
Filed: 2014-12-24
Abstract: In order to provide an up-to-date destination airport model (24, Fig.1) to an aircraft for a flight between a source airport and destination airport, an identifying signal is transmitted 104 from the aircraft to a data server associated with the source airport before take-off. In response a complete destination airport model is received 105. During a cruise or descent phase of the flight, another identifying signal including an airport model version indicator (e.g. date stamp) is transmitted 112 from the aircraft to a data server associated with the destination airport. If the version indicator is not current, the aircraft receives 114 an update to the airport model. The complete model may be transmitted via hard-wired communications while the aircraft is on the ground. Updates transmitted during flight constitute a smaller dataset, thus reducing wireless bandwidth requirements. The model may represent traffic, runways, taxiways, stand areas, obstacles, weather conditions, threats or closures.

Title: System and methods for belt conveyor weighing
Inventor: HYER FRANK S
IPC: G01G11/16
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: Imperfections in conveyor belting and its supporting elements can adversely affect weighing accuracy of belt scales, particularly when weighing and/or metering low density materials, such as those encountered in the snack food industry. A system and methods for a belt conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention provide simultaneous benefits of both short and long weigh spans. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a virtual weigh span may be programmably set to adjust for variations in the belt conveyor weighing system. Advantages include, higher degrees of accuracy and calibration to account for changes in the belt or belting system over time using non-mechanical adjustments. In addition, weight measurement error producing effects, some that may not be particularly known, may be reduced.

Title: An adaptive real-time detecting method of available bandwidth in digital home networks
Inventor: SHENGLI XIE
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2015-07-24
Abstract: An adaptive real-time detecting method of available bandwidth in digital home networks comprises: transmitting, by a gateway to a network terminal which intends to measure the available bandwidth, a sequence of packets with a wide range of packet speed ; feeding back the measured information to the gateway, which analyzes the information to obtain a measured value of available bandwidth ; performing a second measurement after a time interval, where the speed range of the sequence of packets to be transmitted is smaller than that of the first measurement and within a certain range of the bandwidth value obtained in the last measurement. In the second measurement, if a reflection point of packet delays cannot be determined, a further sequence of packets is sent having an extended speed range. If the reflection point cannot be determined after a certain number of attempts, a sequence at the original speed range is sent.
