Abstract: An improved method for monitoring the parameters of a nuclear core reactor, analyzing the monitored parameters using modified two neutron group diffusion equations that have been subjected to space-time factorization such that the factorized shape functions are approximated, and determining the core neutronics in constant time steps, for example, about 0.25 seconds, thereby to provide analysis and simulations in full range of core neutronics in real-time continuously.

Abstract: A display system suitable for large color television type images in which a thin membrane is charged electrostatically in a pattern corresponding to the image. The membrane is deformed locally by electrostatic force and the image is rendered visible by an optical arrangement in which the deformation varies the light transmitted through the display, the rear of which is illuminated.

Abstract: A free-standing collapsible panoramic theatre is described. When assembled, the theatre includes a multiplicity of vertical screens arranged in a polygonal arrangement that defines an internal viewing region. The viewing screens are supported by a multiplicity of towers which are located external to the polygonal arrangement with one tower located at each vertical corner of the polygonal arrangement. Each tower has a base, a support structure extending vertically from the base, a manually-operable alignment mechanism which permits the vertical orientation of the support structure to be adjusted, a pair of upper and lower screen support brackets mounted for telescopic movement on the support structure and releasably retaining the pair of adjacent viewing screens at the vertical corner associated with the tower, and a projector support housing for supporting a projector.
