Abstract

A modular system for containing projectiles has a sheet of material including at least a polycarbonate layer held by a metal frame having a straight frame member corresponding to each straight edge of the sheet. Each frame member has a U-shaped shield channel covering and holding a straight edge of the sheet and an adjacent U-shaped clamp channel rigidly held against the shield channel. A flexible gasket separates each sheet edge from its respective shield channel; and each frame member is fastened to each adjacent frame member only by clamps extending between adjacent clamp channels.

A complete algorithm for synthesizing modular fixtures for polygonal parts

Conference Brost, R; Goldberg, K

Commercially-available nuclear fixturing systems typically include a square lattice of tapped and bushed holes with precision locating and clamping elements that can be rigidly attached to the lattice using dowel pins or expanding mandrels. Currently, human expertise is required to synthesize a suitable arrangements of these elements to hold a given part. Besides being time consuming, if the set of alternatives is not systematically explored, the designer may fail to find an acceptable fixture or may settle upon a suboptimal fixture. We consider a class of modular fixtures that prevent a part from translating or rotting in the plane usingmore »« less

Modular radiation shielding system

Patent Schukei, G; McDonald, F

A modular radiation shielding system for use on the lower side of a nuclear steam generator tubesheet to protect inspection and repair workers in the primary head of the generator from radiation of the tubesheet and tubes it secures, is described comprising: modular panels of lead shielding of like geometric shape, each having a transverse opening for alignment with a tube and being symmetrical about one axis and asymmetrical about a second axis perpendicular thereto so that if a previously plugged tube is encountered, a quick 180/sup 0/ rotation aligns the transverse opening in register with another tube; means formore »« less
Assembly for thermal shielding of low pressure turbine

Patent Petsche, J

A thermal shield is described for a gas turbine engine for thermally shielding an outer casing of the engine from leakage of high temperature gases into an annular space between an inner surface of the outer casing and an outer annular surface of a nozzle guide vane platform, respective axial ends of the annular space being defined by radially inward depending flanges of the casing, a plurality of vane platforms being joined in an abutting end-to-end relationship to form the outer annular surface, the vane platforms having radially outwardly extending raised surfaces radially supporting the thermal shield within the annularmore »« less
Reactor head shielding system

Patent Jacobson, E

A modular reactor head shielding system is formed from a plurality of flexible pads shaped to interleave with the edges of each adjacent pad around the reactor head. The shielding system is assembled to protect workers from radiation exposure in working in the area around the reactor head or when working on the reactor head during refueling of the reactor. The pads are formed by inserting a pair of blankets secured to one another inside a pair of outer covers which are secured to one another in offset relation to form an interleave or tongue and groove configuration to eliminatemore »« less
Insulated cryogenic liquid container

Patent Swaney, W

Composite insulating panels each having a generally rectangular casing and insulating material in the casing are mounted by mechanical fastening means in a covering layer over an inner surface of a supporting enclosure. A cross-shaped joint cover member is installed between four adjacent corner portions of each group of four rectangularly arranged composite panels. A straight joint cover member is installed between each pair of adjacent composite panels, a pair of opposite end portions thereof being joined respectively to a pair of the cross-shaped joint cover members. Each of four leg portions of each cross-shaped joint cover member has amore »« less
