Patent CA-2905332-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WONG ALFRED Y
IPC: G21B1/05
Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: A fusion device produces fusion of neutral atoms and ions in an "aneutronic fusion" manner without neutrons as products utilizes strong ion-neutral coupling at high neutral densities. Ions and neutrals rotate together in a cylindrical chamber due to frequent collisions. High magnetic forces make the attainment of high rotation energy possible; the magnetic field in a medium can be set at very high values because of the absence of magnetic charges. The repeated acceleration by strong magnetic forces in the azimuthal direction makes possible very high ion velocity. Fusion takes place mainly between neutral particles. This approach can be applied to fusion with neutrons as well. Conventional fusion schemes and neutron sources can be realized using the principles described above in the generation of neutrals of high energies and densities.

Abstract: A near-real-time tracking and integrated forecasting of marine ice bodies observable on satellite imagery. Oil and gas production operations in new regions, such as the Arctic, have dramatically increased over the past few years. This increasing activity makes it more likely that fixed or floating production platforms, drill ships, and other structures will be used in these regions. A concern for these types of structures in such regions is potential for damage caused by ice bodies that are uncontrolled and floating in the water, such as icebergs, ice floes, and other moving ice bodies.
