Patent number: 11827077Abstract: A system for controlling a temperature a within an interior volume of a cargo trailer adapted to transport perishable goods is described herein. The system includes a fluid distribution assembly and a monitoring system. The fluid distribution assembly is configured to selectively channel a flow of cryogenic cooling fluid into the cargo trailer interior volume to facilitate adjusting a temperature within the interior volume. The monitoring system includes at least one sensor for sensing an environmental parameter of the cargo trailer, and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the fluid distribution assembly. The controller is configured to receive a monitoring signal indicative of the sensed environmental parameter, determine an environmental condition of the cargo trailer as a function of the environmental parameter, and provide a notification signal if the determined environmental condition is different than a predefined environmental condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: RSC INDUSTRIES INC.Inventors: Eric William Bryant, Edward John Bratkowski, Andrew D. Frost, Fred Jackson Norvell, III, James Madison Reid, Robert C. Rabine, Paul M. Walling, Thomas Zagotta, Robert S. Rau

Patent number: 4025388Abstract: The shutting down of a gas cooled nuclear reactor is effected by causing boron or other neutron poisons to deposit upon and adhere to reactor core surfaces. The introduction of the poison and other necessary substances into the core is achieved by spilling numerous coherent pellets into the core vessel; the pellets containing a substance which changes state at a predetermined temperature resulting in disintegration of the pellets and deposition of their constituents.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1974Date of Patent: May 24, 1977Assignee: British Nuclear Fuels LimitedInventor: Fred Jackson
