Inertial confinement fusion system which decouples life-limited component from plant availability

Patent Moses, Edward I.; Latkowski, Jeffery F.; Anklam, Thomas M.; ...

An architecture for an inertial confinement fusion system is disclosed. The system includes a fusion chamber for producing neutrons from a fusion reaction, and a laser system in which lasers are arranged about a vacuum chamber to provide energy to the fusion chamber to initiate the fusion reaction. The beam paths between the lasers and the fusion chamber are configured to prevent neutrons from the fusion chamber from reaching the laser system at a level that would preclude human access to the laser system.

Wellbore inertial directional surveying system

Patent Andreas, Ronald D [Albuquerque, NM]; Heck, G Michael [Albuquerque, NM]; Kohler, Stewart M [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

A wellbore inertial directional surveying system for providing a complete directional survey of an oil or gas well borehole to determine the displacement in all three directions of the borehole path relative to the well head at the surface. The information generated by the present invention is especially useful when numerous wells are drilled to different geographical targets from a single off-shore platform. Accurate knowledge of the path of the borehole allows proper well spacing and provides assurance that target formations are reached. The tool is lowered down into a borehole on the electrical cable.

Multiple excitation regenerative amplifier inertial confinement system

Patent George, Victor E. [Livermore, CA]; Haas, Roger A. [Pleasanton, CA]; Krupke, William F. [Pleasanton, CA]; ...

The invention relates to apparatus and methods for producing high intensity laser radiation generation which is achieved through an optical amplifier-storage ring design. One or two synchronized, counterpropagating laser pulses are injected into a regenerative amplifier cavity and amplified by gain media which are pumped repetitively by electrical or optical means. The gain media excitation pulses are tailored to efficiently amplify the laser pulses during each transit. After the laser pulses have been amplified to the desired intensity level, they are either switched out of the cavity by some switch means, as for example an electro-optical device, for any wellmore » « less

System and method for liquid extraction electrospray-assisted sample transfer to solution for chemical analysis

Patent Kertesz, Vilmos; Van Berkel, Gary J.

A system for sampling a surface includes a surface sampling probe comprising a solvent liquid supply conduit and a distal end, and a sample collector for suspending a sample collection liquid adjacent to the distal end of the probe. A first electrode provides a first voltage to solvent liquid at the distal end of the probe. The first voltage produces a field sufficient to generate electrospray plume at the distal end of the probe. A second electrode provides a second voltage and is positioned to produce a plume-directing field sufficient to direct the electrospray droplets and ions to the suspendedmore » « less
