Multiaxial thermal dissipation and structurally-compliant device

A method comprising:

• obtaining a Dewar having an endcap;
• obtaining a multiaxial thermal shoe;
• obtaining a heat sink;
• coupling the heat sink to the multiaxial thermal shoe via one of at least two axial surfaces;
• and
• placing a thermal interface material between the endcap and the multiaxial thermal shoe to thermally couple the endcap of the Dewar to the heat sink, the multiaxial thermal shoe configured to transfer thermal energy between the endcap of the Dewar and the heat sink without structurally coupling the Dewar to the heat sink.

A method comprising:

• removing thermal energy from a Dewar having an endcap;
• passing the thermal energy through a thermal interface material and a multiaxial thermal shoe;
• and
• providing the thermal energy to a heat sink;
• wherein the multiaxial thermal shoe thermally couples the endcap of the Dewar to the heat sink via one of at least two axial surfaces and transfers thermal energy between the endcap of the Dewar and the heat sink without structurally coupling the Dewar to the heat sink.
