Rather, the support structure may be formed in multiple connectable segments which, when connected together, form a completed wiring support structure. Each segment may be of sufficient length to support multiple individual coil turns in a helical configuration. When the segments are connected the helical configuration continues without interruption from connectable segment to connectable segment. The segmented wiring support structure of the invention may be applied to linear or curved magnet geometries. | 03-24-2016 |
