A MONTE-CARLO CODE FOR CALCULATING COLLISION PHENOMENA IN RANDOMIZED TARGETS
Ref.-No.: 1801-6323-WT
IT / Software / Bioinformatics
Fusion technology / energy
The invention relates to a Monte-Carlo program implemented in Fortran 90. It treats the bombardment of incident ions on different target structures such as mono-atomic targets, layer structures or composition target structures. The two general cases considered in the code are the static case, where the target composition is fixed during the simulation, and the dynamic case, where modifications of the target caused by the ion bombardment are taken into account.
A further development of the ...

Adaptive deflection technology to reduce thermal hotspots caused by charged particles
Ref.-No.: 1402-6785-WT-FG
Fusion technology / energy
In fusion reactors and similar high-energy technologies, charged particles can strike certain surfaces and cause significant localized heating. This can lead to material fatigue and component damage. The invention presented here uses an innovative method to reduce the thermal stress by deflecting the particles. By controlling magnetic and electric fields, the point of impact of the particles is continuously shifted so that the thermal load is distributed over a larger area. Temperature-controlled ...

Bildleiter
Ref.-No.: 1801-6386-WT
Sensors, Devices and Components
Fusion technology / energy
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bildleiter, der insbesondere für den Einsatz in einer Umgebung mit radioaktiver Strahlung geeignet ist. In einer solchen Umgebung verringert sich die Transmission des Bildleiters mit der Zeit. Bekannterweise kann die Transmission des Bildleiters durch Erwärmen auf eine Temperatur im Bereich von 100° bis 300° regeneriert werden. Weil dieses Erwärmen bisher in einem Ofen erfolgte, implizierte das Regenerieren des Bildleiters seinen Abbau von seinem Betriebsort, ...
Compact Stellarator-Tokamak Hybrid: Enhanced Plasma Stability and Efficient Fusion Reactor Design

Fusion technology / energy
This invention introduces a novel hybrid fusion reactor concept that combines the advantages of tokamaks and stellarators. In tokamaks the magnetic confinement field is generated by toroidal coils and the plasma current driven by a central solenoid coil, while in stellarators the magnetic confinement field is created by a complex magnetic coil system. The proposed design integrates a single type of simple quasi-axisymmetric (QA) coil to introduce 3D shaping effects while maintaining a compact ...

Optical Fiber Feedthrough for a Vacuum Chamber
Ref.-No.: 1801-6480-WT
Fusion technology / energy
This invention relates to an optical fiber vacuum feedthrough designed to transmit optical signals between the inside and outside of the vacuum chamber. Traditional methods often require frequent replacement of flanges or optical fibers due to leakage over time, and the high pressure applied to the optical fibers led to transmission losses. In order to address these issues, the presented optical fiber feedthrough comprises a compression device which compresses sealing elements axially along the ...
