TL;DR: The C-2W experimental device (also called "Norman") as discussed by the authors is the world's largest compact-toroid (CT) device, which has several key upgrades from the preceding C2U device such as higher input power and longer pulse duration of the NBI system as well as installation of inner divertors with upgraded electrode biasing systems.

Automobile security system
Stephen S. Thompson,Michael C. Thompson,Gregory Rice,Pradeep M. Bhagwat,Mark Gottlieb,Thomas Roche +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microprocessor controlled automobile security system provides several features for enhanced operability, such as the ability for an operator to personally set the threshold at which a signal detected by a shock detector will result in an alarm being triggered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achieving a long-lived high-beta plasma state by energetic beam injection.
Houyang Guo,Michl Binderbauer,T. Tajima,R. D. Milroy,L. C. Steinhauer,Xiaokang Yang,E. Garate,Hiroshi Gota,Sergey Korepanov,Ales Necas,Thomas Roche,Artem Smirnov,Erik Trask +12 more
TL;DR: The kinetic stabilizing effect of fast ions on a disruptive magneto-hydrodynamic instability, known as a tilt mode, which poses a central obstacle to further field-reversed configuration development, is demonstrated by energetic beam injection.
