228102

A method of forming a long 100-inch low resistance lap joint suitable for joining magnet coils in a superconducting magnet assembly on the magnet drum, which is accomplished by forming a flat solder sandwich within a groove on the drum and moving a heat source along the lap joint with controlled temperature, pressure and rotational speed of the drum.

H01B 1200

2281791

Apparatus and method for forming long lengths of laminated superconducting tape by passing three foils over idler pulleys, through a solder bath and between pinch rollers having a portion which extend above the solder bath to enable cleaning of the pinch rollers during the formation of the superconducting tape with means to adjust the pressure applied by the pinch rollers, and to adjust the laminated tape takeup tension independently from the foil process tension.

335216

An insertion and positioning mechanism to assist in inserting the cryocooler into the sealed cavity of a recondensing superconducting magnet during superconducting operation utilizing guide assembly and slider assembly combinations to resist forces of cryocooler interaction with the magnetic field of the superconducting magnet to avoid misalignment, and to ensure good thermal contact at the cryocooler thermal interfaces.
