The inputs may include a color, which is used to derive a color palette used in generating the mock web pages. The input can also include an image, which can be transformed in various ways, and a web page layout that determines where the transformed image may be placed. The theme variation engine uses the inputs to generate various mock web pages that the user can select and have the associated thematic parameters saved for future use. Alternatively, certain thematic parameters associated with the selected mock web pages can be used for generating additional mock web pages. The selected thematic parameters can then be used to generate the web site for the user. A computer system may implement execute instructions using a theme variation engine program module. | 02-28-2013 |

20110026661 | DETECTING PIN DIVERSION FROM PRESSURIZED WATER REACTORS SPENT FUEL ASSEMBLIES - Detecting diversion of spent fuel from Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) by determining possible diversion including the steps of providing a detector cluster containing gamma ray and neutron detectors, inserting the detector cluster containing the gamma ray and neutron detectors into the spent fuel assembly through the guide tube holes in the spent fuel assembly, measuring gamma ray and neutron radiation responses of the gamma ray and neutron detectors in the guide tube holes, processing the gamma ray and neutron radiation responses at the guide tube locations by normalizing them to the maximum value among each set of responses and taking the ratio of the gamma ray and neutron responses at the guide tube locations and normalizing the ratios to the maximum value among them and producing three signatures, gamma, neutron, and gamma-neutron ratio, based on these normalized values, and producing an output that consists of these signatures that can indicate possible diversion of the pins from the spent fuel assembly. | 02-03-2011 |
