One method includes reducing pressure in a cryogen vessel of an MRI system during magnet ramping. The method also includes returning pressure in the cryogen vessel to a normal operating pressure level after magnet ramping is... http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20120202ptan20120028806.php Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:33:42 -0800 Disclosed herein is a topologically protected π/8-gate which becomes universal when combined with the gates available through quasi-particle braiding and planar quasi-particle interferometry. A twisted interferometer, and a planar π/8-gate in CTS, implemented with the help of the twisted interferometer, are disclosed. Embodiments are described in the context of state... http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20120202ptan20120028807.php Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:33:42 -0800 The invention offers a superconducting coil, which is an oxide superconducting coil 10 that has the shape of a saddle formed by winding an oxide superconducting wire 11 in the shape of a racetrack and that has a curved portion 10b and a linear portion 10a connected to the curved... http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20120202ptan20120028808.php Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:33:42 -0800 inside of said superconductor layer, columnar or rod-shaped BaZrO3 crystals are dispersed such that they are inclined from c-axis of the superconducting crystals and that BaZrO3 crystals adjacent in longitudinal directions are in a skew position. An oxide superconducting tape comprised of a substrate on which a GdBa2Cu3O7-δ (δ=0 to 1)... http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20120202ptan20120028809.php Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:33:42 -0800 A method for fabricating a wire from textured powder includes compressing a powder comprising a plurality of particles into a ribbon. The method further includes encasing the ribbon between two foil sheets to create a sheet of encased ribbon. The method additionally includes rolling the encased ribbon into a substantially... http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20120202ptan20120028810.php Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:33:42 -0800 (3) heat treatment is carried out in order to pyrolyse said oxide precursor and to form the oxide, at least part of said heat treatment being carried out under a flow of reducing gas, said reducing gas preferably having a flow rate greater than 0.005 cm/s, preferentially between 0.012 cm/s...
