A vacuum device, comprising:
- an enclosure configured to enclose a vacuum, comprising an external base forming at least a portion of the enclosure;
- an internal base within the enclosure;
- and
- at least one thermal dissipative strap assembly, comprising:
- an internal base thermal conductive base in contact with the internal base;
- an external base thermal conductive base in contact with the external base;
- and
- a flexible thermal dissipative strap disposed such that the flexible thermal dissipative strap is disposed in the vacuum when the vacuum is formed and coupling the internal base thermal conductive base to the external base thermal conductive base.
A vacuum device, comprising:
- an enclosure configured to enclose a vacuum;
- an internal base within the enclosure;
- a plurality of support assemblies penetrating the enclosure and contacting the internal base;
- and
- a plurality of thermal dissipative strap assemblies, each thermal dissipative strap assembly comprising:
- an internal base thermal conductive base in contact with the internal base;
- an enclosure thermal conductive base in contact with the enclosure;
- and
- a flexible thermal dissipative strap coupling the internal base thermal conductive base to the enclosure thermal conductive base;
- wherein the internal base thermal conductive bases of the thermal dissipative strap assemblies are disposed on the internal base among contact locations of the support assemblies to the internal base.
A vacuum device, comprising:
- means for enclosing a vacuum;
- means for generating heat disposed within the means for enclosing the vacuum;
- means for supporting the means for generating heat;
- and
- means for reducing the heat conducted to the means for enclosing the vacuum through the means for supporting the means for generating heat.
