Patent number: 9941758Abstract: In a method for producing a rotor, permanent magnets are arranged about a lateral surface in a recess of a rotor body from a selected position, e.g. a central position of the longitudinal extension of the rotor body, toward one side or toward two sides along an axis of rotation of the rotor body in side-by-side disposition. An end plate band covers a variable gap formed as a result of manufacturing tolerances of the permanent magnets between an outer face of an outermost one of the permanent magnets and an inner surface of the recess in an area of the recess which is non-parallel to the lateral surface. Subsequently, the permanent magnets and the end plate band are covered with a sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Peter Geis, Marko Glück, Björn Knorre, Andreas Kraus, Jürgen Martin, Melanie Sterzinger, Dietmar Streit, Juliane Then

Patent number: 9494344Abstract: A method for converting a cryostat configuration (1) having a first container (2) with a liquid helium bath (3) and a second container (6) which is filled with liquid nitrogen (7) is characterized in that a cooling medium (12) which is in a gaseous state at a temperature of 60K and a pressure of 1 bar, is introduced into the second container and is cooled by a refrigerator (16) by means of a cooling circuit (11), the coolant lines of which are guided into the second container, to an operating temperature of ?60K. With this retrofit for existing cryostat configurations that utilize both liquid helium and also liquid nitrogen for cooling a superconducting coil, use of liquid nitrogen can be completely avoided and the evaporation rate of the liquid helium can also be considerably reduced without having to re-liquefy the cryogens used.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Bruker BioSpin AGInventors: Andreas Kraus, Robert Schauwecker, Joerg Hinderer
