Publication number: 20120281798Abstract: A method and apparatus for rapidly producing a plasma jet on demand. A particular application is the production of such a jet and its injection into a magnetically confined target plasma for the purpose of mitigating an emerging disruption event. The apparatus includes a gas source cartridge having concentric inner and outer electrically nonconductive containment tubes, which contain a solid mixture of titanium hydride and fullerene in the annular cylindrical volume between them. The mixture is resistively heated by application of a high power electrical current to produce a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and fullerene within a few tens of microseconds. The resulting mixture of hydrogen and fullerene is introduced radially into an accelerator tube passing through the gas cartridge, where the gas mixture is ionized, accelerated and injected as a plasma jet into the target plasma.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2011Publication date: November 8, 2012Inventors: John Robert Thompson, Ioan-Niculae Bogatu

Patent number: 6591747Abstract: Correcting register faults in a multicolor printing machine having a number of items of equipment for the digital production of color separations, wherein correction values are determined and assigned to angular positions of at least one image cylinder and, as a result, taken into account for the control of the production of the color separations on the image cylinder. Correction values are to be made available for the correction of register faults, which, with a fine graduation, make it possible to assign them to angular positions of machine elements in a repeatable way. This is achieved by determining circularity errors of machine elements which have an influence on the register, assigned to their angular positions and, from these, the correction values for the control of the production of the color separations on the at least one image cylinder being determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Nexpress Solutions LLCInventors: Donald Buch, Heiko Hunold, Michael Kowalczyk, Christopher Liston, Patrick Metzler, Robert Peffer, Karlheinz Walter Peter, John Robert Thompson
