Publication number: 20240137267Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for asset utilization and trigger-based automation. A network management system may receive a receive a network management configuration that identifies a configuration of a set of assets to be allocated to a service. The network management system may generate an asset utilization dataset including a set of utilization values associated with the set of assets generated over a time. The asset utilization data set may be used to train a machine-learning model configured to generated predictions corresponding to a future utilization associated with the set of assets. The network management system may then execute the machine-learning model predict utilization of a first asset. Upon determining that the predicted utilization is greater than a threshold, the network management system may execute an action associated with the set of assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: James Michael Brinksma, Alexander Kenneth Godwin, Nathan Oliver Grey, Marcelo Alejandro McAndrew, Stuart David McDonald, Michael John Vitale

Patent number: 10672521Abstract: Fuel spacers include at least one specialized bathtub on an outer perimeter band. Specialized bathtubs include an elastic resistive extension and a corresponding deflection limiter on a same outer face of the perimeter band. The elastic resistive extension provides flexible resistance to the channel, and the deflection limiter provides rigid movement limitation beyond a particular threshold between channel and spacer. The positioning, spring constant, length, number, and other properties of the specialized bathtub can be chosen based on the desired fuel assembly properties and expected transverse loads in fuel shipping and operation against which specialized bathtubs resiliently protect. The specialized bathtubs can be formed from a simplified stamp operation out of the perimeter band. Bathtubs can be placed on any position(s) on the perimeter band of example embodiment spacers used in nuclear fuel assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: GLOBAL NUCLEAR FUEL—AMERICAS, LLCInventors: Kathryn M.

Patent number: 10634925Abstract: A display system is disclosed for use in an augmented reality display (30), the system comprises a waveguide (32) having a front surface and a rear surface. A front input projector (34) projects polychromatic light through a front surface, and a back input projector (36) projects polychromatic light through the rear surface. Input light impinges on an input grating (38) on a rear surface of the waveguide (32), and light travels through the waveguide by total internal reflection. An output grating (40) is provided for coupling light out of the waveguide. A plurality of front and back input projectors (34, 36) are provided in a staggered configuration along the width of the waveguide (32) and respective edges of adjacent front and back input projectors are aligned along the width of the waveguide to permit a continuous projection of light.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Wave Optics Ltd.Inventors: David Grey, Sumanta Talukdar

Patent number: 10359635Abstract: An optical device is disclosed for expanding input light in two dimensions in an augmented reality display. The device comprises a waveguide (12) and three linear diffraction grat-ings H0, H1, H2. An incident beam from a projector illuminates an input grating H0 with polychromatic light, and the light is coupled into the waveguide (12). The other two gratings H1, H2 are overlaid on top of one another. Light can be diffracted by one grating H1 into a first diffracted order and towards the other grating H2 which can couple the light out of the waveguide (12) towards a viewer. In another arrangement the crossed gratings H1, H2 may be replaced by a photonic crystal (19) having a regular array of pillars (20) which create a number effective diffraction gratings.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Wave Optics Ltd.Inventors: David Grey, Sumanta Talukdar
