Title: Containment structures
Inventor: THURRELL BRUCE H
IPC: E04H7/26
Filed: 1992-05-21
Abstract: Abstract A containment structure (1) for storage of nuclear fuel or liquids which have been in contact with nuclear fuel includes a concrete wall (3) and a concrete floor (2) with a corrosion resistant liner (5) fixed to and in contact with the walls and floor except at the junctions of the walls and floor at which the liner is curved to provide "soft corners" (7) to permit movement of the liner relative to the concrete walls and floor.      The term "soft corner" as used in the context of the present specification denotes a region providing a gap or empty space or collapsible or compressible material, eg foam, between the stainless steel liner and the concrete walls and floor.  Any collapsible or compressible material employed needs to be stable to the radioactive environment and for this reason it is preferred that a gap or empty space is employed.      The containment structure may be a cooling pond for nuclear fuel elements or a dry secondary structure built around or beneath parts of a liquid-containing process plant for nuclear fuel elements.

Inventor: SCHNEIDER BERNARDUS J J A
IPC: B65D81/38
Filed: 1992-07-29
Abstract: A reusable cooling and insulating device for bottles and the like is provided in the form of a jacket having a single or plurality of flexible compartments which are interconnected having an inner chamber and an outer chamber therein.  A heating and cooling temperature conditionable liquid is housed in the inner chamber which enables the inner diameter of the jacket formed by the inner chamber to confirm with the surface of the object on the which the jacket is positioned for heating or cooling.  A flexible insulator of air or air and flexible plastic is positioned in the outer chamber of each compartment for directing a greater temperature transfer from liquid to the object and less heat exchange from the liquid to the environment.  The liquid is continuously in direct contact with and pressed upon the bottle or object which contact determines the cooling/heating.  The jacket is recharged in a freezer or heated in a microwave depending on the function to be performed. The liquid is never frozen solid in order to conform to the shape of the object to which the device is applied.

Title: Process and apparatus for reducing electrode wear in a plasma arc torch
Inventor: COUCH RICHARD W JR
IPC: B23K10/00
Filed: 1991-03-19
Abstract: Abstract Of The Disclosure A process and apparatus for reducing wear of an electrode in a plasma arc torch involves altering the gas flow in a plasma chamber surrounding the electrode immediately before and continuing after cutting of the current that sustains the arc.  The altering includes closing off the gas flow upstream of the chamber, switching from a swirling flow to a radial/axial flow through the plasma chamber, reducing the arc current level in conjunction with either of the above, and venting the plasma chamber to rapidly change the gas flow and pressure in the chamber.  The interval is sufficient to reduce electrode wear, but short enough that the arc remains stabilized until cut-off.  In the flow stop mode, a solenoid valve is placed on an inlet tube for the plasma gas.  For venting, a vent tube and another solenoid valve are added to the torch.  In the flow pattern switching mode, two independent gas supply lines with control valves feed separate sets of gas inlets to the plasma chamber, one set producing a swirling flow and the other set producing a radial then axial flow. 3344m

Title: Enzyme electrodes wherein the enzyme is enclosed within liposomes
Inventor: VADGAMA PANKAJ M
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1991-09-12
Abstract: Enzyme electrodes with the enzyme enclosed within liposomes, which are preferably supported on or in a membrane and immobilised there, for example in the membrane pores. The liposomes may be made using lipids (especially phospholipids) and conveniently by "reverse phase evaporation". They may incorporate conventional electrode elements, e.g. the Clark electrode pair (Platinum/Silver) and additional membranes or screens, and used particularly in amperometric measurements. They are preferably used near the phase transition temperature of the lipid and give improved selectivity and facility to measure higher concentrations of active components in the analyte. The enzyme is preferably an oxidase (e.g. glucose oxidase) and useful for measurement (directly or indirectly) of low molecular weight species e.g. hydrogen peroxide generated by enzymic action, and effective for study of biological fluids e.g.  blood. Also, modified membranes and electrolytic sensors using the liposome-enclosed enzymes.
