An autonomous robotic refuelling system is being developed to achieve rapid aircraft turnaround, notably during combat operations. The proposed system includes a gantry positioner with sufficient reach to position a robotic arm that performs the refuelling tasks; a six degree of freedom manipulator equipped with a remote center of compliance, torque sensor, and a gripper that can handle standard tools; a computer vision system to locate and guide the refuelling nozzle, inspect the nozzle, and avoid collisions; and an operator interface with video and graphics display. 4, record 1, English, - autonomous%20robotic%20refuelling%20system

The guide thimbles are structural members which also provide channels for the neutron absorber rods, neutron sources or instrumentation devices. Each thimble consists of a Zircaloy tube. The tube diameter at the top section provides the annular area necessary to permit rapid control rod insertion during a reactor trip. The lower portion of the guide thimble is made with a smaller inner diameter to reduce diametrical clearances and produce a dashpot action near the end of the control rod travel during trip operation. 1, record 2, English, - dashpot%20action

Fiber optic cable is used to connect high speed telephone and computer networks. This "wire" is not made of metal, but instead uses special glass, plastic or ceramic filaments to guide the light to a certain destination. It too permits very rapid data exchange, and is especially resistant to transmission noise. 9, record 3, English, - fiber%20cable

A bush intended for insertion in a liner and used for guiding a drill or reamer. There are two types of renewable bushes : the "slip" bush designed to facilitate rapid changing in cases where, for instance, several different operations and tools are required to follow the same general guide, and the "fixed" type which is intended to remain in the jig until too worn for further use(see 3. 2. 1, 3. 2. 2 and 3. 2. 3). 1, record 5, English, - renewable%20bush
