Abstract: A temperature-controlled irradiation system may include an outer containment and a sealed capsule disposed within the outer containment. The sealed capsule may be configured to contain a testing material within the sealed capsule. The system may further include a temperature sensor disposed within the sealed capsule. The temperature sensor may be configured to measure a temperature of the testing material. A pressure sensor may be disposed within the sealed capsule. The pressure sensor may be configured to measure an internal pressure of the sealed capsule. The system may include a heater disposed within the sealed capsule. The heater may be configured to control the temperature of the testing material. The heater may be immersed within the testing material. A gas gap is provided between the sealed capsule and the outer containment. The gas gap may be configured to control thermal conductivity between the sealed capsule and the outer containment.

Abstract: An adaptable multiple purpose connector system for simultaneous pneumatic and electric connections includes a pin and socket. Each connector has an electrical contact a cylindrical hollow core extending through the connector from one end to other. The pin and socket are shaped to be complementary to each other such that the pin can be at least partially inserted into the socket such that the cylindrical hollow cores are aligned and the electrical contact are mated. An internal seal forms an air-tight connection is formed between the pin and socket connector. An external seal positioned on the outward ends of the pin and socket connectors creates a sealed pneumatic connection with pneumatic tubes when the connectors are mated. Additional connections may include solid transport such as feed wire in an example welding configuration.
