Publication number: 20170083669Abstract: Information including a data set indicative of a problem concern is determined by changing an active/past state of the data from an active state to a past state based on a time of an update (e.g., time of an update of a diagnosis, when a file may be updated) indicative of a resolution of the problem concern. When a most recent entry in the data set exceeds a duration range for the problem concern as determined by a knowledge base, the active/past state of the data is changed from the active state to the past state. Further, it determines whether the problem concern is correlated with a treatment. When the correlated treatment is being taken by a subject, changing the active/past state of the data from the active state to the past state so as to provide diagnostic assistant tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lee M. SURPRENANT, Jacob D. EISINGER, Richard M. ROGERS

Patent number: 9053823Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing an alternative cooling system for the suppression pool of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear reactor. The cooling system is operated to cool the suppression pool in the event of a plant accident when normal plant electricity is not available for the conventional residual heat removal system and pumps. The cooling system may also be used to supplement the cooling of the suppression pool via the residual heat removal system. The cooling system is operated and controlled from a remote location, which is ideal during a plant emergency.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLCInventors: Robert Joseph Ginsberg, John R. Bass, Richard M. Rogers, Mark W. Siewert

Patent number: 8958521Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing an alternative remote spent fuel pool cooling system for the spent fuel pool. The cooling system is operated to cool the spent fuel pool in the event of a plant accident when normal plant electricity is not available for the conventional fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, or when the integrity of the spent fuel has been jeopardized. The cooling system is operated and controlled from a remote location, which is ideal during a plant emergency.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLCInventors: Robert Joseph Ginsberg, Phillip G. Ellison, John R. Bass, Richard M. Rogers

Publication number: 20140072089Abstract: A method and apparatus for an alternative cooling system used to cool the suppression pool of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear reactor. The cooling system includes a cooling coil in an isolation condenser located at an elevation that is above the suppression pool. The isolation condenser is connected to the suppression pool via inlet and outlet pipes. The system may provide a natural convection flow of fluids between the suppression pool and the cooling coils to passively cool fluid from the suppression pool without requiring external electrical power.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLCInventors: Robert J. GINSBERG, John R. BASS, Robert A. AYER, Richard M. ROGERS

Publication number: 20130191151Abstract: Information including a data set indicative of a condition is categorized by changing a categorization state of the data from an active state to a past state based on a time of an update (e.g., time of an update of a diagnosis, when a file may be updated) indicative of a resolution of the condition. When a most recent entry in the data set exceeds a duration range for the condition as determined by a knowledge base, the categorization state of the data is changed from the active state to the past state. Further, it is determining whether the condition is correlated with a treatment. When the correlated treatment is being taken by a subject, changing the categorization state of the data from the active state to the past state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2012Publication date: July 25, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lee M.

Publication number: 20040207659Abstract: The invention provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) interface for building programs from web services. The interface to a web service is represented in a user menu preferably by an icon and text. A user drags and drops an icon representing a web service from the menu to a display area and interconnects the icon to other icons representing other program entities (preferably other web services). Preferably, a more detailed icon is created in the display area after the drag and drop. The completed set of interconnected icons in the display area are saved as a new program entity. The invention further includes visualization of the flow of information through the model in a test mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2003Publication date: October 21, 2004Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian D.
