Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The International Reactor Innovative and Secure (IRIS) reactor is a new, pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactor design ... Two potential Integrated Primary System Reactor (IPSR) pressurizer designs are being analyzed for this research project: a steam pressurizer, and a nitrogen gas pressurizer. These two integral pressurizer designs differ from most conventional types, because they incorporate a much larger interface more closely coupled to the reactor primary system.

CONT

Integrated Modular Water Reactor(IMR) is an integrated primary system reactor being developed by a Japanese consortium. IMR is primarily designed to supply electric power through a power grid with unit output of 350MWe. In this paper, the outline of the IMR concept and the current development status is presented.

AVEA [Aile verticale épaisse aérodynamique] is a new concept of modular over-pressurized airship with an air ballast. This transportation system can sustain and transport up to 1000 tons over 10 000km at 100 km/h. It is constituted of several cylindrical balloons called "Modules Aérostatiques Pilotables"(MAP) which are assembled in an ovoid shape aerodynamically operational. For instance, the dimensions of an AVEA able to transport 500 tons are about : length 200 m, width 100 m and height 100 m.

[...] l'Avea (Aile verticale épaisse aérostatique) [est] un concept novateur de dirigeable à grandes dimensions. L'Avea fait appel à un assemblage de «Modules Aérostatiques Pilotables» (MAP) contenant des poches d'hélium et d'air en surpression. Ils permettent de modifier l'altitude de l'aérostat en faisant varier la masse d'air sans actionner gouvernes ou propulseurs. En altitude, la «fragmentation» en modules permet de limiter les problèmes de tensions sur l'enveloppe. Le risque lié à la diffusion de l'hélium est aussi atténué : en cas de perte d'hélium, on fait sortir de l'air afin de maintenir l'équilibre aérostatique. Lors de la phase de descente, un treuil permet de rapprocher les MAP des pôles inférieur et supérieur pour diminuer le volume de l'enveloppe et ainsi maintenir une surpression constante. Enfin, pour tenir la basse altitude lors de la récupération, de l'air est injecté afin d'augmenter la masse.

The International Transport Rack(ITR) ... launched inside the SPACEHAB Logistic Double Module (LDM), will offer the transport potential for various drawer payloads. Beside the provision of passive mechanical interfaces for lockers and different types of drawers up to 12 panel units (PU, 1PU = 4.45cm), the ITR will also be equipped with resources for power, cooling and data handling. The ITR features the support of the logistic ISS re-supply and the operation of user payloads during the flight to/from the ISS.

OBS

The ITR design is based on a modular concept and includes the capabilities necessary to operate active payloads : The main ITR functions are implemented in four units : Rack Structure Power Distribution Unit(PDU) [;] Thermal subsystem Command & Data handling subsystem(Laptop Unit).

It is a laboratory, designed for the International Space Station, to investigate "complex plasmas"-in regard to the fundamental physics and the application potential. A "complex plasma"(or dusty plasma) is a "normal" electron-ion plasma with an additional charged component of small micron-sized particles.

The Biotechnology Mammalian Tissue Culture facility has been conceived for research on cell and tissue culture. It will be essential in furthering our understanding of the influence of the cell microenvironment on growth and differentiation. The core of the system will provide robust control of concentration gradients and of mechanical forces thanks to the integration of fluid distribution tools, microsensors, and microactuators. The emphasis is put on the mimicking of organotypical conditions and on the acquisition of data to be used for guided tissue development and differentiation in both space and terrestrial conditions. In addition to this core cultivation subunit, a powerful diagnostics subunit allows for dedicated tools adapted to the tissue undergoing testing. The whole concept is modular in order to support upgrading and adaptation to the requirements of the experimental programme.

Multi Material Moulding. Two raw material injection moulding: In this process, two materials are injected consecutively into two different mould cavities through separate nozzles to produce a moulded part. First one component is injected, then this part is transferred to another cavity by turning or pushing out part of the mould or by transferring the moulding into another mould, then the second component is injected. During composite injection moulding (Combiform), the second cavity is vacated by actuating a movable core. Two component injection moulding: In this process, two materials are injected through a nozzle into a mould cavity, resulting in a moulding with a clear separation between skin and core component. This process is also referred to as sandwich injection moulding.

OBS

Today the dividing line between [the] expressions ["two raw material injection moulding" and "two component injection moulding"] has become blurred as a result of the constant further development of the processes, new ideas and mould developments. In particular, two component injection moulding is also used as a term for the field of two raw material injection moulding (two shot moulding). The terms must therefore be clearly defined at the beginning of project discussions.

CONT

A brand new range of machines for multi-material moulding is now available due to the modular concept of the CANBIO line. Negri Bossi is producing this range of machines to meet the increasing requirements of the market for "multi-shot" and "multi-colour" mouldings.

Gas-assist and multiple-material molding are among the hottest value-adding developments to hit injection molding in years.

The open networked organization is based on cooperative, multidisciplinary teams and businesses networked together across the enterprise. Rather than a rigid structure, it is a modular organizational architecture in which business teams operate as a network of... client and server functions.... As servers, they receive requests or directions from clients,... and add value for the purpose of serving these clients. The new model is derived from Michael Porter's concept of "value chain, "but extended into the notion of a value network--reflecting the rise of the open networked enterprise.... The provision of value is not something chained in a linear way, but rather generated through an ever-changing open network. It is a model designed to encourage flexibility, innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsiveness.

PMC is a mezzanine bus concept that is based on the PCI bus specification. PMC cards are designed to be stacked on a VME CPU board and typically no more than 2 PMCs may be mounted on a 6U CPU. By contrast, up to 8 CompactPCI cards can be mounted on the same backplane. PMCs can only be installed or removed by first extracting the carrier board from the backplane which makes it less modular and more difficult to handle.
