Abstract: A magnet, such as an open or closed magnet, has a first assembly with at least one superconductive main coil and with a first vacuum enclosure enclosing the main coil(s). A first cryocooler coldhead has a rigid first housing and is generally vertically aligned. A first flexible bellows is vertically aligned, has a first end attached to the first housing of the first cryocooler coldhead and has a second end attached to the first vacuum enclosure of the first assembly.

Abstract: A compression molding apparatus includes a mold of a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and a plug of a second material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion different from the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The mold has a cavity into which the plug is placed such that the mold and plug are disposed relative to one another providing a gap therebetween having a first volume for holding a body that at least partially fills the gap when the mold and plug are at a first temperature and for molding the body into a molded product when the mold and plug are subjected to a second temperature that causes one of the first and second materials of the mold and plug to change in size more than the other and thereby change the gap to a second volume different from the first volume and compress the body.

Abstract: A dehumidifier for an x-ray detector includes a box having an inlet, an outlet, and a drain. A thermo-electrical element includes a cold plate disposed inside the box for cooling air channeled therethrough, and an opposite hot plate disposed outside the box for liberating heat. Air is cooled inside the box for condensing moisture therefrom which is removed by the drain, and the cooled air is heated for reducing relative humidity thereof. The resulting dry air is channeled to a housing protecting the x-ray detector.
