Abstract: A gas-liquid contactor is provided for removing gases and particulate matter from flue gases, such as those which are produced by processing operations of the type carried out in utility and industrial facilities. The gas-liquid contactor includes a tower into which a slurry is introduced for absorbing gases and particulate matter, and is configured so as to eliminate the requirement for a pump to deliver the slurry to the tower. In addition, the tower is configured to accommodate a maximum flue gas flow velocity through the tower while maintaining proper operation of the tower. Liquid particles in which the gases and particulate matter are entrained are collected in a tank, through which the slurry is recycled to the tower. The level of the slurry within the tank is higher than the entry point of the slurry into the tower, such that the slurry returns to the tower under the force of gravity.

Abstract: A method for mitigating general corrosion and crack initiation and growth on the surface of metal components in a water-cooled nuclear reactor. A compound containing a non-noble metal such as zirconium or titanium is injected into the water of the reactor in the form of a solution or suspension. This compound decomposes under reactor thermal conditions to release ions/atoms of the non-noble metal which incorporate in or deposit on the surfaces of the components, including the interior surfaces of any cracks formed therein. The preferred compounds are zirconium compounds such as zirconium acetylacetonate, zirconium nitrate and zirconyl nitrate. Zirconium deposited in or on an oxided surface of a metal component will reduce the electrochemical potential at the surface to a level below the critical potential to protect against intergranular stress corrosion cracking.

Abstract: A method for processing a low dielectric constant material includes dispersing an additive material in a porous low dielectric constant layer, fabricating a desired electronic structure, and then removing the additive material from the pores of the low dielectric constant layer. The removal of the additive material from the pores can be accomplished by sublimation, evaporation, and diffusion. Applications for the low dielectric constant layer include the use as an overlay layer (20a) for interconnecting a circuit chip (14) supported by a substrate (10) and the use as printed circuit board material (110).

Abstract: A welded bracket (14, 22, 26) for use in repairing a shroud in which one or more shroud girth seam welds have experienced stress corrosion cracking. A plurality of the welded brackets are placed around the outer circumference of the shroud at a plurality of azimuthal positions at the elevation of the top guide support ring (2c). Each bracket is constructed by welding curved plates. Welding productivity is increased by using an extremely thin weld joint design with a non-circular cylindrical, thin welding electrode having an elongated cross-sectional shape. During welding, the elongated dimension is aligned parallel with the length of the weld joint. This combination enables joining of the welded bracket parts with both the initial weld joint preparation and the completed weld having a uniquely thin width and with a high aspect ratio of depth to width. This high aspect ratio reduces the number of weld beads needed to build the weld joint. The high aspect ratio, in combination with torch travel speeds of 30 cm/mn or more (12 or more inches per minute), increase welding productivity, thereby reducing reactor downtime resulting from shroud repair.

Abstract: A mobile tracking unit capable of operating in a power-starved environment for a vehicle tracking system includes a navigation set for generating data corresponding to a respective vehicle position. The navigation set is periodically energized at a selected activation rate FG while the vehicle is moving to generate the vehicle position data. The tracking unit includes an electromagnetic emitter which is capable of transmitting the vehicle position data and which is periodically energized at a selected activation rate FEM while the vehicle is moving to transmit at least the vehicle position data. A motion sensor is employed for generating data indicative of vehicle motion. A tracking unit controller receives the vehicle motion data and controls the navigation set and the emitter based upon the vehicle motion data so that when the vehicle is stationary, each of activation rates FG and FEM can be respectively decreased by a predetermined factor, thus reducing the overall power consumption of the tracking unit. The tracking unit controller is further designed to return to activation rates FG and FEM upon the motion sensor sensing renewed vehicle motion, thus avoiding loss of vehicle position data during times of renewed vehicle motion.

Abstract: A process for providing a significant improvement in the detrimental tensile residual stress condition on the root side of welds, especially on the inside wall of piping welds. The method uses a high welding torch travel speed (>10 inches/min), especially on the last one or two cap passes. The process relies on the limited thermal heat sink capability of the pipe wall and nearly completed weld joint itself to generate a significant through-wall temperature gradient, and therefore a sufficient through-wall stress gradient during the welding. This stress gradient results in metal plasticity and permanent strains, and therefore a reduction in the magnitude of the final residual stress or, preferably as conditions allow, a reversal in the direction of the stresses from tensile to compressive. The method can be used as a welding process or as a heat treatment. In the case of heat treatment, the far surface of the weld joint is heated without fusion of the material making up the far surface.

Abstract: Pulse width modulation is used to control the flow rate through a solenoid expansion valve (24) in a refrigeration system (10) using a dual evaporator, two-stage cycle. The refrigeration cycle (10) includes a phase separator (22) which receives two-phase refrigerant from the low temperature evaporator (20) and supplies liquid refrigerant to the pulse width modulated solenoid valve (24). A liquid level sensor (34) is disposed in the phase separator (22), and a controller (32) for controlling the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated solenoid valve (24) is provided to receive input from the liquid level sensor (34). The liquid level sensor (34) can be of the type which provides a continuously variable signal as a function of liquid level, or it can be a liquid level switch which controls valve duty cycle on the basis of whether the phase separator liquid level is above or below a set level. Alternatively, two liquid level switches (34a, 34b) can be provided.

Abstract: A motion imaging method (600) uses magnetic resonance to detect the two or more components of motion such as velocity, acceleration or jerk within a subject. One component of motion is detected by computing differences of data obtained with modulated motion-encoding magnetic field gradient pulses (655). Distributions of at least one component of motion are measured responsive to a motion sensitive phase-encoding gradient pulse (660). The method can be used to obtain velocity and acceleration measurements in any of three mutually orthogonal directions.

Abstract: During acquisition of X-ray attenuation measurements of a patient being imaged, the measurements are processed to determine error factors for each detector in the system. In doing so, an average value is calculated for each detector from the X-ray attenuation measurements acquired during a scan of the patient. The set of average values should increase and decrease monotonically going toward and away from the value in the set for center detector. Deviation from such monotonic variation indicates a calibration error and is used to change a calibration factor in the signal processing circuit for the corresponding detector.
