  • System providing receipt inspection reporting
    Patent number: 7395273
    Abstract: A system for providing receipt inspection reporting (RIR) allows for entry, modification, searching and reporting of RIR data. The RIR data is stored in a database and accessible online to facilitate tracking and analysis of defects and other problems. Searches and custom reports also may be generated to provide RIR tracking and analysis of problems. Logging and tracking of defects allows for root cause analysis using RIR data stored in a database to improve the RIR resolution process.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods of producing hydrogen using a nuclear reactor
    Patent number: 6862330
    Abstract: A system for generating hydrogen includes a liquid metal nuclear reactor having a non-radioactive secondary heat loop, a steam generator connected to the secondary heat loop, a high temperature water cracking system, and a topping heater. The heat produced by the nuclear reactor is used to raise the temperature of the feed water for the cracking system to between about 450° C. to about 550° C. The topping heater raises the feed water temperature from the 450° C. to 550° C. range to at least 850° C. so that the cracking system can operate efficiently to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
