Helium cooling has been shown to be very attractive from safety considerations as a coolant for ITER. However, there is a concern that use of helium will result in large manifolds and large pumping power. The purpose of this task was to design, fabricate and test a helium cooled divertor module for

โฆ Synopsis
A miniature smart robotic foot (SRF), equipped with an integrated vacuum pump, a suction cup, a pressure sensor and a micro-valve, was designed, fabricated and tested. A mock-up robot equipped with the SRF was used to study the load-carrying potential of the system. The SRF weighs 35 g and it can, with a 40 mm suction cup, support weights in the range of 1.2-3.5 kg under various test conditions and surfaces. A next generation SRF is also built, which is equipped with a micro-controller, a video micro-camera, a wireless interface and a thin film battery.

This paper deals with the design, fabrication and test of a rotating-ยฏux-type low-T c superconducting (LTS) power supply. The operating current of the LTS power supply is designed to be 900 A for a rotational speed of 120 rpm. This power supply system consists of two exciters, a rotor, a stator, and
