An anomaly detection system comprising a diagnostic interface and a data acquisition system capable of recording data indicating variation of voltages at tapping points in a superconducting magnet. Data representing those variations in voltages may be stored as a data log and a processor may analyze the data in order to identify a mechanical impact.

Anomaly detection and correlation system

A mechanical actuation arrangement for remotely applying a force to a cryogenically-cooled device has a mechanical actuator composed of multiple parts. In use, the parts bear against one another to enable a force to be applied to the device by an actuator device, and when not in use, the parts separate.

Actuation arrangement

In a method for measuring the level of liquid cryogen in a cryogen vessel, a current pulse is applied to a cryogen level probe includes an ignition current pulse part of sufficient magnitude to ensure that a resistive front propagates down the probe to below the liquid cryogen surface; a recovery current pulse part allowing that part of the superconducting wire below the surface of the liquid cryogen to return to a superconducting state; and a measurement current pulse part of sufficient magnitude and duration to allow an accurate measurement of the superconducting wire's resistance to be measured.
