Abstract:

A retriever for a climbing aid used as an anchor in cracks where the aid has an operating bar. The retriever has: (a) a fork body with tines; (b) hooks on the ends of the tines for engaging the operating bar of the climbing aid; (c) finger holds located on the fork body; (d) a longitudinal bore in the fork body extending from the base of the tines to the upper end of the fork body; (e) a rod having a first and a second end and mounted for reciprocation in the bore; (f) a stop secured to the first end for applying pressure upon the support bar of the climbing aid; and (g) a handle secured to the second end and engaging the base of a thumb of a climber.

Abstract:

Optical frequency combs are used for a wide range of applications, some of which require precise control of the amplitude and phase of individual comb teeth. A technique is provided for tooth-level optical frequency comb control. A frequency comb may include a plurality of comb teeth that are separated from one another by a comb frequency spacing. This technique includes generating a train of control pulses, each of the control pulses being frequency-locked to a corresponding tooth of an optical frequency comb to be controlled. The tooth-level control of the frequency comb is enabled via stimulated Brillouin scattering using the train of control pulses.

International Classification:

G02B 5/00

Abstract:

Enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation to induce plasmon oscillations in target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) in a way that produces high density electron clouds in localized regions of the target structures, thereby generating charge density variations around light element atoms located in the localized regions. Each target structure includes an electrically conductive body including light elements (e.g., a metal hydride/deuteride/tritide) that is configured to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation. The induced oscillations causes free electrons to converge in the localized region, thereby producing transient high electron charge density levels that enhance Coulomb repulsion screening around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions. Various systems capable of implementing enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening are described, and various nanostructure compositions and configurations are disclosed that serve to further enhance fusion reaction rates.

Abstract:

Enhanced Coulomb repulsion (electron) screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) that undergo plasmon oscillation when subjected to electromagnetic (EM) radiation, whereby transient high density electron clouds are produced in localized regions of the target structures during each plasmon oscillation cycle. Each target structure includes an integral body composed of an electrically conductive material that contains light element atoms (e.g., metal hydrides, metal deuterides or metal tritides). The integral body is also configured (i.e., shaped/sized) to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation such that the transient high density electron clouds are formed during each plasmon oscillation cycle, whereby brief but significantly elevated charge density variations are generated around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions, thereby enhancing Coulomb repulsion screening to enhance nuclear fusion reaction rates. Various target structure compositions and configurations are disclosed.
