    Abstract: A system and method for altering and maintaining the temperature of a workpiece, especially at cryogenic temperatures, is disclosed. The platen on which the workpiece is located contains at least one inner conduit through which fluid can flow. An apparatus, in communication with a fluid source, is brought into contact with the platen. For example, an inlet and outlet on the platen and the ports of the apparatus may mate. Once the platen and the apparatus are successfully mated, fluid is passed through the apparatus and into the platen. Once the platen (and therefore the attached workpiece) has reached the desired temperature, the apparatus stops the flow of fluid through the platen. The apparatus and the platen then disengage. The platen is then free to move and rotated as required by the ion implantation process. When the platen temperature deviates from the desired temperature, the above process is repeated.

    Abstract: The fluid delivery mechanism of the present disclosure provides a solution for use in a single axis of motion that allows the connection of one or more fluid flow paths over a wide range of temperatures into a vacuum environment. The mechanism does not employ flexible tubing that is prone to fatigue, especially at very low temperatures. In one embodiment, a tube is axially moved within a sealed piston to allow for fluid delivery. In a second embodiment, bellows are used to provide the required functionality. In another embodiment, it is possible to achieve movement in two or more axis of motion by utilizing two or more appropriateiy configured mechanisms.

    Abstract: A new type of superconducting fault current limiter is disclosed, which can advantageously be used with high voltage transmission networks. The circuit is electrically connected to two terminals (144, 146), which connect to the transmission network. The superconducting circuit (120) is located within an enclosure or tank (112), which is electrically isolated from ground. Therefore, the voltage difference between the enclosure and the superconducting circuit, and between the enclosure and the terminals are significantly less than exist in current deployments. In some embodiments, the enclosure is electrically connected to one of the terminals, while in other embodiments, the enclosure is electrically isolated from the terminals. The circuit can be combined with other like circuits to address a wide range of current transmission network configurations.
