Abstract: A jump box for training athletes that eliminates a lot of the hazards of using a traditional jump box. The device has a base, a back frame and a platform the height of which can be adjusted in small increments. The platform is sized and shaped to extend further towards the athlete than any other portion of the jump box making it considerably safer than other devices on the market. In addition, the platform of the jump box is angled downward slightly to make it easier for the athlete to jump on the device. The weight and construction of the device makes it virtually impossible to knock over. In addition, because of the shape and orientation of the platform, athletes can use the box without injuring themselves if they miss a jump.

Abstract: A Control Neutron Absorber (CNA) assembly for a microreactor that produces nuclear energy is disclosed. The CNA assembly includes a housing, a CNA rod, and a burnable absorber. The housing includes an inner housing and an outer housing. The inner housing is configured to receive a CNA rod. The outer housing extends coaxially with the inner housing and is positioned radially outward and offset from the inner housing defining a cavity therebetween. The CNA rod includes a neutron absorbing rod including a first neutron absorbing material. The neutron absorbing rod is positioned within the inner housing and is configured to move axially relative to the inner housing. The burnable absorber includes a second neutron absorbing material, exhibits a neutron absorbing strength that is less than that of the neutron absorbing rod, is positioned within the inner housing, and is configured to receive the neutron absorbing rod therein.

Abstract: An injector mount system (30) is provided for mounting an injector (22) to an exhaust flow conduit (21) in an exhaust treatment system (10). The injector (22) includes a housing (32) having an open end (46) that mounts an orifice/nozzle (38). The injector mount system (30) includes a boss (62) fixed to the exhaust flow conduit (21), and an end cap (44) of the injector (22) that is attached to the housing (32), closing the open end (46) and securing the orifice/nozzle (38) in the open end (46). The boss (62) and end cap (44) include mating flanges (60,64) that define a non-threaded connector for securing the injector (22) to the exhaust flow conduit (21). The mating flange (60) of the end cap (44) being formed as a unitary part of the end cap (44), and the mating flange (64) of the boss being a unitary part of the boss (62).
