  • Publication number: 20240309665
    Abstract: A nuclear reactor is constructed in sub-modules and super modules which are manufactured, packaged, and shipped to a construction site. At least some of the modules are packaged in suitable shielding containers or portions of containers, which may be steel. The modules are assembled on-site, and some of the modules remain within their respective shipping containers after assembly. One or more of the shipping containers may be used as concrete forms to support the pouring of concrete in between selected modules. The concrete may be used for structural support, shielding, or both.

  • Patent number: 12048533
    Abstract: Techniques for data analysis and user guidance are provided. One or more current measurements of one or more current analyte levels for the user are received from a sensor. A pattern is generated based on the one or more current measurements and the one or more past measurements. A first alignment with a first user target is then determined based on the pattern, where the first user target relates to one or more of a mental state or physical state of the user. A first result is output to the user, based on the determined first alignment.

  • Patent number: 12040594
    Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has a shortened overall laser cavity by combining the gain section with a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The overall cavity length can be contracted by placing gain structures inside the DBR. This generally applies to a number of semiconductor material systems and wavelength bands, but this scheme is very well suited to the AlGaAs/GaAs material system with strained InGaAs quantum wells as a gain medium, for example.

  • Publication number: 20190110914
    Abstract: A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. A sheath is placed over the crimped scaffold after crimping to reduce recoil of the crimped polymer scaffold and maintain scaffold-balloon engagement relied on to hold the scaffold to the balloon when the scaffold is being delivered to a target in a body. The sheath is removed by a health professional either by removing the sheath directly or using a tube containing the catheter.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and device for removing chemically dissolvable support material from objects created by a three-dimensional printing process. In one exemplary embodiment a tank for holding a cleaning solution has a cleaning section and a fluid handling section, and a full level below a top rim thereof. A generally box-shaped parts basket configured to be removeably installed within the cleaning section of the tank has four fluid impermeable walls, a bottom panel perforated throughout with an array of holes, and an openable top cover, wherein the openable top cover is below the full level of the tank and the bottom panel of the parts basket is supported above a floor of the tank when the parts basket is installed.

  • Publication number: 20160154719
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method and system for optimizing a test flow within each ATE (Automated Test Equipment) station. The test flow includes a plurality of test blocks. A test block includes a plurality of individual tests. A computing system schedule the test flow based one or more of: a test failure model, test block duration and a yield model. The failure model determines an order or sequence of the test blocks. There are at least two failure models: independent failure model and dependant failure model. The yield model describes whether a semiconductor chip is defective or not. Upon completing the scheduling, the ATE station conducts tests according to the scheduled test flow. The present invention can also be applied to software testing.
