Abstract: A mobile heat pipe cooled fast nuclear reactor may be configured for transportation to remote locations and may be able to provide 0.5 to 2 megawatts of power. The mobile heat pipe cooled fast reactor may contain a plurality of heat pipes that are proximate to a plurality of fuel pins inside the reactor. The plurality of heat pipes may extend out of the reactor. The reactor may be configured to be placed in a standard shipping container, and may further be configured to be contained within a cask and attached to a skid for easier transportation.

Abstract: A merchandise display stand for floor display having a support portion and trays. The support portion having a base member integral with and at about a right angle to a dovetail back member. One or more trays arranged on the support portion. The trays having a dovetail slot to accommodate the dovetail back member of the support portion. One or more trays is lowered into position onto the support portion such that the dovetail projection back member fits within the dovetail slot of the tray locking the tray onto the back member.

Abstract: A device for detecting the improper adjustment of a ventilatory support machine used on a mammal. The device (12) includes measuring elements (40) for taking a measurement, as a function of time, of a neurophysiological signal involved in the respiratory process of the mammal for at least two successive breathing cycles, each breathing cycle comprising a respiratory initiation time; an input for receiving a respiratory initiation signal (to) which is different from the neurophysiological signal; elements (42) for processing the neurophysiological signals, which are configured to process the neurophysiological signals for each respiratory initiation time over a period of time starting from the respiratory initiation time; and elements (44) for detecting an improper adjustment of the ventilator using the processed signals.
