Filed:

Aug 14, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/461529

Inventors:

David Snow - Bozeman MT, US
Michael Chase - Bozeman MT, US
Alex Woidtke - Bozeman MT, US
Luke Mauritsen - Belgrade MT, US
Isaac Henslee - Bozeman MT, US
Peter B. Sellin - Bozeman MT, US

Assignee:

S2 Corporation - Bozeman MT

International Classification:

F25B 19/00

US Classification:

62 511, 62 555, 62296

Abstract:

A cryogenic apparatus is provided having a nested thermally insulating structure, thermal links, a vacuum shroud, and a cryo-cooler. The nested thermally insulated structure holds a sample to be cooled while dampening the external vibrations caused by the cryo-cooler, the surrounding environment or cryo-cooler mounting surface. A vacuum plate is removably attached to the vacuum shroud to provide access to the sample chamber.

International Classification:

G01G 19/60
G01G 19/414

Abstract:

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing electronic weight measurement using a handheld apparatus (e.g., fishing net or other handheld apparatus, etc.). In some embodiments, the handheld apparatus might measure a raw signal weight of an item (e.g., fish or other suitable item), and might measure at least one of angle of tilt or angle of rotation of the item with respect to the handheld apparatus, and, in some cases, might also measure at least one of angle of tilt or angle of rotation of the item with reference to gravitational direction of the Earth. The handheld apparatus might calculate a processed signal weight of the item based at least in part on the measured angle of tilt and/or rotation of the item with respect to the at least one of the weight measurement sensor or the handle, and might display the processed signal weight of the item.

International Classification:

F25B 9/14

US Classification:

62 6

Abstract:

A cryogenic apparatus is provided having a nested thermally insulating structure, thermal links, a vacuum shroud, and a cryo-cooler. The nested thermally insulated structure holds a sample to be cooled while dampening the external vibrations caused by the cryo-cooler, the surrounding environment or cryo-cooler mounting surface. The thermal link is made of thermally conductive wires which connect the nested thermally insulated structure and the cryo-cooler thereby allowing the apparatus to reduce vibrations inherent in the operation of the cryo-cooler.
