摘要:
A method of controlling an ice maker is provided that minimizes generation of excess water and reduces energy consumption. The method allows for uniform heat to be generated and distributed throughout the ice tray during an ice separation process. Consequently, the ice separating process may be consistently performed irrespective of the shape of the ice tray and its surroundings, thereby minimizing generation of excess water, and reducing energy consumption.

An ECP sensor includes a tubular ceramic probe having a closed tip at one end packed with a metal and metal oxide powder. A metal support tube receives an opposite end of the probe, and is joined thereto by a braze joint therewith. An electrical conductor extends through the support tube and probe, and has an end buried in the powder for electrical contact therewith. A ceramic band bridges the probe and tube at the joint for sealing thereof.

A metal cooling tube of a water-cooled nuclear reactor, having an inner surface thereof exposed to an aqueous cooling medium containing hydrogen peroxide. The cooling tube has its inner surface coated with matter selected from the group consisting of the element manganese, molybdenum, zinc, copper, cadmium for absorbing such hydrogen peroxide and then affecting decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide in the aqueous medium. In preferred embodiment such coating is manganese and oxides thereof. A method for lowering the electrochemical corrosion potential of a metal allow cooling tube exposed to an aqueous medium in a water-cooled nuclear reactor is also disclosed. Such method comprises the step of coating an inner surface of such tube with matter selected from the group of elements comprising manganese, molybdenum, zinc, copper, cadmium, so as to permit absorption and hydrogen peroxide in such aqueous medium and effect decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in such aqueous medium.

An electrochemical corrosion potential sensor includes a sensor tip electrically joined to a conductor, and a ceramic insulator joined to the tip around the conductor. A sleeve is joined to the insulator around the conductor, and is electrically insulated from the tip by the ceramic insulator. The insulator has an exposed surface axially separating the tip and sleeve, and a ceramic coating is bonded thereto for preventing dissolution of the insulator by reactor water. In a preferred embodiment, the ceramic insulator is sapphire, and the ceramic coating is yttria-stabilized-zirconia or magnesia-stabilized-zirconia which may be plasma sprayed over the insulator.

A new approach for a transport protocol for sensor data collection, such as a smart grid is described. In one embodiment of the invention, each server avoids keeping security and communication state per client through the notion of a secure “state-token”. The state token is issued with each server message and is subsequently attached to corresponding client messages delivered to the server. An implementation is provided in which the server encrypts and authenticates the associated session state, and then gives the resulting encryption for the client to temporarily store and return to the server with a next message. In this way, a server does not keep session state after sending the encryption back to a client and can quickly restore session state when the next message from the client arrives.

An ice making assembly for a refrigerator and a method for controlling the ice making assembly are provided. The ice making assembly and the method of controlling the ice making assembly provides a constant amount of water supply for each ice making cycle regardless of environmental conditions such as the varying water supply pressure of different installation locations. Furthermore, overflowing can be prevented during water supply with the use of a capacitance water level sensor.

A method of determining in-reactor susceptibility of a zirconium-based alloy to shadow corrosion according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention may include immersing a first electrode and a second electrode in an electrolytic solution. The first electrode may be formed of the zirconium-based alloy, while the second electrode may be formed of a metallic material suitable for use in a nuclear reactor and having a higher electrochemical corrosion potential than the zirconium-based alloy. The method may additionally include irradiating the immersed first and second electrodes with electromagnetic radiation. A galvanic current may then be measured between the first electrode and the second electrode to ascertain the relative in-reactor susceptibility of the zirconium-based alloy to shadow corrosion. The present invention allows a simplified and more rapid method of developing solutions that mitigate shadow corrosion, thereby potentially saving years of expensive in-reactor testing.
