  • Publication number: 20250067528
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to tritium shunt heat exchangers that use a sweep gas. In some aspects, a heat exchanger system for a fusion power plant is disclosed herein. The system may advantageously allow for efficient energy and tritium extraction from a tritium-containing fluid, while minimizing tritium leakage into the environment. For example, the system may comprise components, such as a thermally conductive solid connector, a sweep gas, reactive materials, etc., that allow for high heat transfer efficiency, and/or high tritium removal and extraction efficiency. In addition, some aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods for using or making such a system.

  • Publication number: 20240272699
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program are described. The apparatus comprises throttling control circuitry (215), associated with a given processing element (205), to perform a throttling-level selection process to select a throttling level indicative of an execution rate at which higher-power processing tasks received by the given processing element are to be issued to processing circuitry of the given processing element. The apparatus also comprises power management circuitry (220) to perform a power control process to select an operating voltage and/or clock frequency to be used by the given processing element, wherein the power management circuitry is configured to select the operating voltage and/or clock frequency in dependence on the throttling level selected for the given processing element, and at least one register (225) accessible to firmware.

  • Patent number: 11891020
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed of a multifunctional utility rack attachment device, the components comprise of a body structure, a positioning mechanism, a position securing system, and a modular attachment system. The device mounts either directly or indirectly on to an off-road vehicle's utility rack. The body structure facilitates the use of a modular attachment system geared towards connecting various utility attachments seamlessly. The positioning mechanism facilitates the movement of the body structure some distance from the off-road vehicle creating opportunity for additional utilitarian purposes. The position securing system is used to lock the body structure into place in a specified configuration, as to not allow the positioning mechanism to act upon the body structure. The components are combined together to form the device.

  • Patent number: 10963628
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that are configured to enable updating of an output text. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises generating a new message for each updateable data element based on a predetermined indication. The method of this embodiment may also include determining a classification for each new message by comparing each new message with a corresponding message that describes the updateable data element. The method of this embodiment may also include generating an additional document plan tree that contains at least a portion of the new messages. The method of this embodiment may also include combining the additional document plan tree with an original document plan tree.

  • Patent number: 10916395
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a switch and has particular application in temperature regulation devices used in domestic and commercial electrical appliances such as stoves, ovens or the like. It includes an arrangement of a pair of arms that co-operate with a biasing means in combination with magnetic components provided on each of the arms. This arrangement does away with the need for the switch to use relatively expensive bi-metallic components and which may be prone to arcing and potential damage to or fusing of the contacts of the switch.

  • Publication number: 20200326607
    Abstract: A scanning Dielectric Travelling Wave Array (DTWA) device suitable for use as a wideband, tunable, two-dimensional beamformer. The device is formed from a set of planar waveguides, elongated waveguide sections and/or progressive delay layers. By controlling the index of refraction (?) of the waveguides, waveguide sections, and/or progressive delay layers, the device to aim at a particular angle of incidence of energy arriving on the top face, in both azimuth and elevation. These indi(cies) of refraction may be controlled with a set of varactors. By observing a constraint on the size of the waveguides as related to the bandwidth of the signals of interest, the waveguide can to receive from or transmit to different directions at the same time. The varactors may be provided by continuous strips of material disposed along the top and bottom of each waveguide section, or as a set of discrete controllable sections distributed along the primary axis of each waveguide section.

  • Publication number: 20190129005
    Abstract: A radar system is described that uses microwave emitters to sense, classify and determine the contents of small containers that are used in transport or storage. The characteristics of these contents can be determined by orienting a set of microwave emitters and receptors around the containers. Correlating the results of the data obtained from the emitters and receptors, the volume and type of the contents of the containers can be determined.
