This makes possible a solenoid-type actuator that provides a large displacement of the elastomer, thus allowing higher and lower rates of gas flow through a gas line. | 04-02-2009 |
20090156408 | HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING DIELECTRIC CERAMIC INSULATION - High-temperature superconductive devices and assemblies are provided. According to one embodiment, a high-temperature superconductive device includes a superconducting substrate and a dielectric ceramic insulator. The superconducting substrate comprises a superconducting material having superconductive properties above about 60 K. The dielectric ceramic insulator is applied to the superconducting substrate. The dielectric ceramic insulator comprises a thermal conductivity of at least about 0.2 W/cm-K at a temperature ranging from about 60 K to about 90 K and has a grain size of at least about 2 microns. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 06-18-2009 |
