Suspension system for an inner container mounted for thermal insulation in an outer container. Rod-shaped fixed bearing securing elements of a fixed bearing system engage the outer container and the inner container and can be stressed in tension and compression. Fixed bearing securing elements engage the inner container while being arranged so as to be distributed in an annular installation space between the inner container and outer container, and they engage the outer container while being distributed in the annular installation space. A floating bearing system with a floating bearing ring and annularly distributed floating bearing securing elements can be arranged in the outer container to support the inner container. The floating bearing securing elements can be stressed in tension by tension springs and/or in compression by compression springs and engage the floating bearing ring and the inner container or the outer container.

The present invention relates to a heat-insulating structural material, which: firstly, can minimize or prevent a thermal bridge by improving the structure of the connection part of the heat-insulating structural material; secondly, improves insulation performance by arranging a vacuum insulation material inside the core layer of the heat-insulating structural material; and thirdly, increases structural stiffness by forming the core layer from a non-foaming polymer material having excellent structural performance, prevents gas from moving in or out of the vacuum insulation material through the air-tight adhesive structure of the core layer, and can improve fire protection performance so as not to be vulnerable to fire, and thus the present invention is universally applicable to fields requiring insulation ability and structural performance.

A cryogenic tank for storing cryogenic fluids is disclosed. The cryogenic tank is typically configured to be mounted on a vehicle for supplying cryogenic fuel to a propulsion system of the vehicle. The cryogenic tank comprises an inner vessel for containing cryogenic fluids and an outer vessel surrounding the inner vessel to define a vacuum insulating volume therebetween. The outer vessel is configured to transmit static and/or dynamic loads, while the inner vessel is partially or completely isolated from such loads.

A Dewar system is configured to liquefy a flow of fluid, and to store the liquefied fluid. The Dewar system is disposed within a single, portable housing. Disposing the components of the Dewar system within the single housing enables liquefied fluid to be transferred between a heat exchange assembly configured to liquefy fluid and a storage assembly configured to store liquefied fluid in an enhanced manner. In one embodiment, the flow of fluid liquefied and stored by the Dewar system is oxygen (e.g., purified oxygen), nitrogen, and/or some other fluid.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to the implementation and operation of a non-contact displacement measurement technique for cryogenic stabilization in QIP systems.

A method for extracting a liquid phase of a cryogen comprising the liquid phase and a vapour phase from an interior volume of a storage dewar through an extraction means, utilizing a push gas introduced into the vapour phase of the cryogen through an outlet of a supply line provided between a push gas supply and the interior volume of the storage dewar, the supply line partially extending through the liquid phase within the interior volume.
