Abstract: An adjuster performs simultaneous irradiation of M laser beams to an atomic beam, where M is a predetermined integer satisfying 3?M. The course of each of the M laser beams intersects with an approach path of the atomic beam. A component, in a direction perpendicular to the approach path of the atomic beam, of the sum of radiation pressure vectors that the M laser beams respectively have is non-zero. A component, in a direction of the approach path of the atomic beam, of the sum of the radiation pressure vectors that the M laser beams respectively have is negative for atoms having speeds greater than the predetermined speed, and positive for the atoms having speeds smaller than the predetermined speed.

Abstract: An automatic leveling type maintenance platform for a high-temperature gas cooled reactor is provided. A floating plate is automatically leveled by using a leveling liquid. During leveling, only a water driving assembly needs to be controlled to drive a housing to be close to an inner bottom surface of a liquid storage container. A sliding block assembly and a lifting guide mechanism are controlled to be locked and fixed after the floating plate is leveled. The floating plate can allow for automatic and rapid leveling and locking operation. Thus, complex and time-consuming fine adjustment control does not need to be performed. Also, when the platform is used in a spherical top cap of a pressure vessel of the reactor for a maintenance operation, then support legs of a support assembly do not need to have telescopic motion.
