  • Publication number: 20180268945
    Abstract: A method for facilitating fusion by magnetocompression of hydrogen isotopes. A magnetic field of at least 105 T is exposed to fuel including hydrogen isotopes. After exposure to the magnetic field, the fuel is energized by a laser, ionizing the hydrogen and converting the fuel to plasma. The magnetic field compresses internuclear separation of H2+. The magnetic field also compresses the electron radius of hydrogen atoms, resulting in increased electron binding energy. Each of these changes accompanying magnetocompression facilitates fusion of the nuclei following laser excitation. A solenoid for enhancing magnetic fields is also described. The solenoid includes conduction member defining a cavity therein. The conduction member is a highly conductive material, which may include a composite of a semiconductor and a conductor. The solenoid may be applied to hold the fuel or in any application to concentrate the magnetic field in a small volume.

  • Patent number: 9361226
    Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a memory transfer setting includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code includes a determination module determining that an amount of main memory exceeds a threshold percentage of secondary storage on an information handling device. The machine readable code also includes an adjustment module adjusting a memory transfer setting on the information handling device in response to the determination module determining that the amount of main memory exceeds the threshold percentage.
