Abstract: A ground-disposable module for encapsulating radioactive waste contained within shipping containers is disclosed herein. Generally, the modules comprise a rigid outer container for providing a first radiation and water barrier for the waste, an inner container formed from the shipping container for providing a second radiation and water barrier, and a central layer of group which forms still another radiation and water barrier and which provides the rigid outer container with a substantially solid interior which reinforces the compressive strength of the module. The rigid outer container may hold a plurality of shipping containers which have been compacted. Such compaction maximizes the number of containers which may be encapsulated into a particular module, and increases the overall compressive strength of the module by increasing the integrity and strength of the shipping containers and wastes grouted therein. In order to facilitate handling, the outer containers of the modules includes a pattern of grooves at its bottom portion for receiving the forks of a forklift, and a plurality of 1-bott anchors at its top portion which are detachably connectable to the hooks of a hoist. The outer containers of the modules are preferably hexagonally shaped, right-angled prisms. The hexagonal prism shape of the outer container of the module allows the modules to form subsidence-free, solid arrays which have sufficient compressive strength to support an earthen-type trench cover, yet are flexibly conformable to changes in the shape of the trench which might occur from a seismic disturbance.

Abstract: A means for measuring either the intrinsic or inherent viscosity of a solute in solution with a solvent which is independent of flow rate and temperature fluctuations. The solution is passed through one capillary tube and the solvent through a second capillary, and the pressure drop across each is measured. Signals corresponding to each pressure drop measurement are fed to an amplification means such as a logarithmic amplifier where they are processed to determine either the intrinsic or inherent viscosity of the solute independent of flow rate and temperature fluctuations. The viscosity measuring means may also be used together with size exclusion chromatrography to determine the molecular weight distribution of polymer materials. It may also be used to measure the relative viscosity of a sample liquid and a reference liquid, and to determine the viscosity of the sample liquid independent of flow rate and temperature fluctuations.

Abstract: A small low-cost local area network for use within an electronic sybsystem for allowing communication between distributed processors is described. The processors are coupled through a single shared line, and the higher priority processor is allowed to secure the line in case of contention. All contending processors are forced to start transmission at the same time by waiting a predetermined delay time since the last received pulse before starting transmission. Every processor first transmits its own number, the transmissions are ORed on the shared line, and every processor compares its transmitted signal against the signal on the line. The processor transmitting a low will not sense the collision and will continue, but the processor transmitting a high will sense the collision and back off. Thus. the processor with the lower number will have a higher priority. Priority can also be established by having the lower priority processor wait a longer time since the last received pulse before transmitting.

Abstract: Male and female tag members 2' and 3' have respectively a projecting portion 5' for extending through the part to be tagged and a receiving portion 10' for accommodating an end part of the projecting portion 5' after it has passed through the part to be tagged. The receiving portion 10' is in the form of a closed container defining a cylindrical chamber 11' containing sterilising substance. The action of fitting the tag assembly to the part to be tagged causes the projecting portion 5' to pierce a weakened portion 14' of a wall of the chamber 11' resulting in release of sterilising substance from the chamber 11', for example for sterilising the wound formed when the assembly is fitted to an animal's ear. In a variant the sterilising substance is replaced by a substance having active pharmaceutical properties.
