  • Patent number: 9496692
    Abstract: The invention relates to a frame (1) for cable feedthrough systems. The frame (1) has a first frame part (10, 30) and a second frame part (10?, 30?), wherein each frame part (10, 10?, 30, 30?) has a recess (19, 19?, 39, 39?) and a projection (18, 18?, 38, 38?). The projection (18; 38) of the first frame part (10, 30) is suitably embodied for being inserted into the recess (19?, 39?) of the second frame part (10?; 30?), and the projection (18?, 38?) of the second frame part (10?, 30?) is suitably embodied for being inserted into the recess (19, 39) of the first frame part (10, 30). The first frame part (10, 30) further has a locking member (11, 31), and the second frame part (10?, 30?) further has a locking member (11?, 31?), wherein the locking members (11, 11?, 31, 31?) in the assembled state may detachably connect the first frame part (10, 30) with the second frame part (10?, 30?), wherein the locking members (31, 31?) have latch fasteners, or wherein the locking members (11, 11?) have sliding members.

  • Patent number: 8873698
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of designing a nuclear reactor of a given reactor plant, an initial, test reactor core design is generated for the given plant based on a plurality of limits input by a user. The limits include a plurality of transient licensing constraints to be satisfied for operating the given plant. The method includes selecting, from a set of automated tools, one or more automated tools to evaluate the test core design, and operating one of more of selected automated tools to output data for display to the user. The displayed data is related to a core design that satisfies the limits inclusive of the transient licensing constraints.

  • Patent number: 8554526
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to implement a technique for managing physics interactions in a computer simulation, such as the interactions of objects in an online computer game. Objects in the simulation are or can become physics objects that then behave according to the rules of the physics simulator in operation. Different implementations can use different rules for how items become physics objects and for what rules are used to manage physics objects. Since physics object interactions are determined on the basis of their physical properties rather than adherence to predefined interactions, the resulting interactions are emergent and not scripted.
