20150110549 | CONNECTOR FOR CONCRETE BARRIERS - Provided are a connector and a connection system for concrete barriers. The connector is configured to slip-fit into a gap between the concrete barriers, which have a lock that engages the concrete barriers. The connector includes a saddle member and a fork member. The saddle member includes a base to be disposed over the gap and partially atop the concrete barriers. The fork member extends below the base of the saddle member. The fork member includes an elongated base and legs that extend below the elongated base. The legs are to straddle the lock that engages the concrete barriers. | 04-23-2015 |

20110058636 | METHOD OF AND AN APPARATUS FOR MONITORING THE OPERATION OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR - The invention concerns a method of monitoring the operation of a reactor of a nuclear plant. The reactor is operated at a given total reactor power during a normal fuel operation cycle. The radioactivity level in the off-gas stream is continuously measured to detect a possible release of fission gases from the fuel rods as a consequence of a fuel leakage due to a defect on the cladding of any of the fuel rods in any of the fuel assemblies. An instantaneous power distribution is regularly established in the core and a power distribution pattern over time is established based on the instantaneous power distributions. The release of fission gases and the established power distribution pattern are then combined and correlations between changes in the release of fission gases and in the power distribution pattern are observed in order to determine a position of the defect. | 03-10-2011 |

20150095811 | CONTEXT AWARE USER INTERFACE PARTS - A model for displaying multiple user interface elements such that each control includes a container that includes standard functionality across at least a majority of the user interface elements. For instance, such standard functionality might include a part status indication, a title, a content status indication, a command invocation function, a part resizing function, and so forth. The model may also provide for standardization of resizing of user interface elements. For a given user interface element, there would be a predetermined number of possible size and shapes, each corresponding to a different projection of data. For instance, all of the user interface elements on a screen may fall within the predetermined number of possible size and shapes, thereby allowing more functional layout of the user interface on the display. | 04-02-2015 |
20150095812 | EXTENSIBLE AND CONTEXT-AWARE COMMANDING INFRASTRUCTURE - Computing systems in which multiple non-context-sensitive or core commands may be initiated from each of a number of different user interface contexts. There are also multiple context-sensitive mechanism for visualizing the commands depending on which of the multiple possible user interface contexts that the commands appear. At least some embodiments described herein also related to the presentation of dialogs at various stages of the command lifecycle without the system needing to know the underlying operations of the command, and allowing the developer to specify when dialogs are to appear in that lifecycle. | 04-02-2015 |

20150094459 | Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass and Recovery of Substituents using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents/Compound Mixtures with Low Transition Temperatures - Low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) or solvents are provided that can be used in methods and systems to dissolve and bydrolyze certain components from lignin-containing biomass (e.g., lignin) at mild conditions so that further degradation is prevented. The solvents, methods and systems according to the invention have various advantages over prior technology or approaches. For example, LTTMs are cheap solvents, renewable and/or non-toxic food ingredients. LTTMs dissolve lignin selectively from a lignin-containing biomass. A highly efficient (up to 90%) lignin recovery can be achieved. The recovered lignin is of higher quality. The remaining cellulose is also of higher. Much less water is needed, which means a tremendous reduction of the energy requirement in the recovery process, i.e. less energy needed for evaporating large quantities of water. | 04-02-2015 |

20140222206 | Polarized Enhanced Confidentiality in Mobile Camera Applications - A system for selectively controlling visibility of information and for reducing or eliminating light energy in a robotic telepresence environment is provided. The system includes a robotic device in a work environment that is occupied or operated by a pilot at a station in a workspace remote from location of the robot in the work environment, a camera operably attached to the robotic device, a primary polarizing filter adjustably attached to the camera, a viewing area, at least one light source remote from the camera, and at least one secondary polarizing filter. The primary and at least one secondary polarizing filter can be adjusted to vary the lighting and artifacts seen by the pilot. | 08-07-2014 |
