Publication number: 20240175450Abstract: Jet pump clamps fit to modified jet pump assemblies at the riser pipe-restrainer bracket junction. The clamp can secure the restrainer bracket and riser pipe, relieving any welds between the same stress in the same, while preventing the restrainer bracket from moving. The clamp may include multiple members on either side of the restrainer bracket that fit into surfaces of the riser pipe. When these members are drawn together through clamping action, the underlying riser pipe is compressed. Similarly, vertically-adjustable members may seat into and/or through the restrainer bracket to hold the bracket steady. Jet pump assemblies may be prepared by forming grooves in the riser pipe and hole(s) in the restrainer bracket(s) and spherical indentations about the same. Clamps may then be installed on the grooves and through the hole(s) at installation or during a maintenance outage in a commercial nuclear power plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Kayla R. KELLEY, Mark SUMMER, Jack T. MATSUMOTO, Christopher M. WELSH, James SCAVO

Publication number: 20240113320Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of a force to enhance the performance of an electrochemical cell. The force may comprise, in some instances, an anisotropic force with a component normal to an active surface of the anode of the electrochemical cell. In the embodiments described herein, electrochemical cells (e.g., rechargeable batteries) may undergo a charge/discharge cycle involving deposition of metal (e.g., lithium metal) on a surface of the anode upon charging and reaction of the metal on the anode surface, wherein the metal diffuses from the anode surface, upon discharging. The uniformity with which the metal is deposited on the anode may affect cell performance. For example, when lithium metal is redeposited on an anode, it may, in some cases, deposit unevenly forming a rough surface. The roughened surface may increase the amount of lithium metal available for undesired chemical reactions which may result in decreased cycling lifetime and/or poor cell performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Sion Power CorporationInventors: Chariclea Scordilis-Kelley, John D. Affinito, Lowell D. Jones, Yuriy V. Mikhaylik, Igor P. Kovalev, William F. Wilkening, Christopher T.S. Campbell, John A. Martens
