Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Power Stations
CONT

The present invention relates to a modular nuclear fuel element, which can be adapted by an assembly system allowing it to be used in different nuclear power plants with horizontal and vertical cooling channels. The module is a cluster of parallel fuel rods mounted as circular concentric crowns and supported by a structural system. It has a single diameter fuel rod array where the ratio of the heat transfer area to the transverse rod area is higher than 330. It also has self-supporting fuel element spacer grids, which are collapsible sheaths attached to them with fewer than 13 welded end stoppers.

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Life Cycle (Informatics)
OBS

Using a variety of modular computer systems with standard and custom software packages, services are available in support of many diverse design and manufacturing applications. A considerable amount of time can be saved by the use of computers in the design/manufacturing process. This time saving comes primarily from design prototype simulation and analysis, and also from the fact that the designer can create his design without ever having either to draw a line on paper of recreate an existing design element. Communication between CAD and CAM utilizing a common data base is desirable to reap the maximum benefits of this technology. See Computer-Aided Photomask and IC Design Services.

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Internet and Telematics
DEF

Equipment that performs radio access and link maintenance functions.

OBS

The Radio Network Controller(RNC) is a key network element in emerging third-generation(3G) wireless networks. Today's RNCs are largely designed using vendor proprietary hardware and software. However, the growing momentum towards modular networks and systems is driving an industry transition to standards-based silicon and subsystem elements in RNC system design.

OBS

It interfaces with the core network and the control of radio transmitters/receivers.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Material Science Laboratory(MSL) offers a multi-user capability to support scientific research in solidification physics, crystal growth with semi-conductors, measurement of thermophysical properties and the physics of liquid states. MSL occupies about half of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] in the US Lab, and one ISPR in the Columbus Laboratory. The two MSL versions are identical except for minor rack interface differences. Each MSL comprises a core element consisting of a sealed process chamber in which interchangeable furnace inserts are hosted. These inserts process the samples. The sample cartridges are manually loaded into one of the furnaces. The furnace can be moved over the sample cartridge to displace the thermal gradients. Diagnostic systems provide scientific data on the facility and sample cartridge during operations. As the furnaces are modular, they can be upgraded or replaced according to utilisation needs. Additional MSL units complete the accommodation and operational interfaces to the laboratory.

CONT

The MSL will be developed in two versions: Facility 1, to be accommodated within the US Laboratory Module of the International Space Station; and Facility 2, to be accommodated on board the European Columbus Laboratory. These two facilities are very similar to each other; the main differences being that the US Laboratory version of MSL is accommodated inside the NASA Materials Science Research Rack. This rack is equipped with the Active Rack Isolation System ARIS, which provides a modicum of isolation from microgravity disturbances.

OBS

materials sciences laboratory; MSL: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

  • Artificial Intelligence

CONT

... a system that incorporates three or more identical units with the same input can be used to correct errors by choosing the output that a majority of the modules agree on. In the simplest case, three modules are needed where two of the modules are redundant. Von Neumann also proposed that the proper output be chosen by a majority element or organ(as he called it), as discussed in an earlier chapter. This element has an output that agrees with the majority of inputs, and this system(is) called triple modular redundancy(TMR).
