  • Publication number: 20220222105
    Abstract: System and techniques for container provisioning are described herein. A request to instantiate a container image may be made. This request specifies a name for the container image where the name is created through a first defined generation process applied to contents of the container image. A container manifest may be received from a local copy of a distributed container directory. The container manifest includes a set of entries for container layer images of the container image. Here, the set of entries are named by a second defined generation process applied to respective container layer images. Then, container layer images may be retrieved using names from the set of entries and the container image instantiated using the retrieved container layer images.

  • Patent number: 5015434
    Abstract: In the core of a boiling water nuclear reactor, local power range monitor strings typically including four vertically spaced monitoring sites are modified. Each monitoring site includes a conventional local power range detector in which fissionable material exposed to thermal neutron radiation produces fission fragments, ionizes a gas and produces a current between the anode and cathode. In the improvement herein, each conventional local power range detector is provided with one or two adjacent gamma thermometers; each gamma thermometer including an interior mass to be heated by gamma radiation, a thermocouple for measuring the heated mass and a reference thermocouple connected in series. Both the conventional local power range detector and the gamma thermometer(s) are all geometrically arranged in a string with individual connecting cables leading to external connectors, one for each detector and gamma thermometer.
