  • Patent number: 11605472
    Abstract: A closed-vessel molten salt reactor (cvMSR) is described herein. A cvMSR may comprise a suspended container, such as a metallic container, within a trench surrounded by a concrete enclosure and a concrete cover having a number of channels. The suspended container may be hollow and a solution of fissile materials and salt materials may be provided within the suspended container. The solution may be capable of undergoing a chain reaction nuclear fission process once a threshold temperature is reached. Heat generated by the solution may heat a fluid surrounding the suspended container. The heated fluid may be transported, through the number of channels of the concrete cover, to an external location where the heated fluid may be used in distributing heat and/or electricity generation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10150411
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely monitoring a driver's behavior, in essentially real time, and providing a notification to the driver when at least two aberrational driver events, which deviate from previously-observed driver actions and/or regulatory limits, are detected. The systems can include a discrepancy calculation module configured to analyze data received from sensors and compare the data to previously-observed driver actions and/or regulatory limits.
