Researchers also want to fashion them into small, "modular" sizes that are more affordable and easier to produce than today's large nuclear power stations, and even transportable.
But in addition to making a product that performs well, Mr. Miller said, he seeks to create sleek, concise forms, and modular sizes — so that the stapler on your desk, for example, matches up with the tape dispenser.
More wind power capacity addition can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and modular sizing of generators instead of adding large capacities could have reduced the idle capacity.
The modular sizes of members, standard reinforcement bar diameters, spacing requirements of reinforcing bars, architectural requirements and other practical requirements in addition to relevant provisions are considered to obtain directly constructible designs without any further modifications.
The model was constructed by implanting a short-stem prosthesis (Metha, modular stem, size 2, 135°, neutral) into a left medium-sized Sawbone femur (model 1121-69; Sawbones Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon, WA), and an acetabular cup (Screwring SC, size 52 mm) into a left medium-sized hemipelvis (model 1305-9; Sawbones).
High speed wireless links require modular, compact size and high directivity with low cross polarization antennas.
A modular pilot size plant involving coagulation/flocculation, centrifugation, ultrafiltration and sorption processes has been designed and constructed.
IRIS, an integral, modular, medium size (335 MWe) PWR, has been under development since the turn of the century by an international consortium led by Westinghouse and including over 20 organizations from nine countries.
In the Nottingham TSR system humeral stems in four sizes, offset modular heads in five sizes and glenoid bearings in three thicknesses were available for optimal component fitting and soft tissue balancing.
