Title: Radioisotope production and treatment of solution of target material
Inventor: GAHL JOHN M
IPC: G21G4/08
Filed: 2009-02-03
Abstract: The invention provides methods for the production of radioisotopes or for the treatment of nuclear waste. In meth-ods of the invention, a solution of heavy water and target material including fissile material present in subcritical amounts is provided in a shielded irradiation vessel. Bremsstrahlung photons are introduced into the solution, and have an energy sufficient to generate photoneutrons by interacting with the nucleus of the deuterons present in the heavy water and the resulting photoneu-trons in turn cause fission of the fissile material. The bremmsstrahlung photons can be generated with an electron beam (37) and an x-ray converter (32). Devices of the invention can be small and generate radioisotopes on site, such as at medical facilities and industrial facilities. Solution can be recycled for continued use after recovery of products.

Title: Pivot hook limiter for use in lumber sorter
Inventor: CESSELLI MIKE
IPC: B27B31/00
Filed: 2010-10-15
Abstract: A lumber sorter using a conveyor system with hooks that pick up, move and drop lumber. The lumber sorter includes limiters attached to the hooks that restrict the rotation of the hooks while the limiters are running in raceways. The limiters restrict the rotation of the hooks between a first and second orientation through the use of opposing contact points that contact with opposing walls of the raceways. The limiters maintain the hooks in a substantially vertical position while they carry lumber, but permit the hooks to be pivoted to drop the lumber at a designated position. The use of limiters having first and second contact points allows for the pivot direction and degree of rotation to be configurable and predetermined by the position and placement of the contact points.

IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for facilitating advertisement placement. For example, a reservation system can identify available placements based on targeting criteria provided by advertisers and placement inventory data provided by publishers. The reservation system can receive reservation data for the available placements from the publishers and provide the reservation data with the available placements to the advertisers.  The available placements and can be ranked and presented to the advertisers based on a first precision with which the placement can satisfy the advertiser's targeting criteria. A second precision can be determined for each placement that has enabled targeting rules. In turn, the reservation system can rank and present the placements based on the first and second precisions.    The advertiser can reserve the available placements, and modify the reservation during a reservation period. Advertisements belonging to a campaign of the advertiser can be provided to the publisher either by the advertiser directly in response to publisher requests to serve an advertisement for the reservation, or can be provided to the publisher by the reservation system or an advertising server in communication with the reservation system.    Discrepancies of reported performance of advertisements in the placements reported by the advertisers and the publishers can be reconciled and attributed to either the advertiser or the publisher.
