20080242549 - Superconducting filter device: A superconducting filter device is disclosed that includes a dielectric base substrate; a patch-type resonator pattern formed of a superconducting material on the base substrate; and a feeder extending in the vicinity of the resonator pattern. The feeder includes a transmission line part for signal inputting or signal outputting, the... Agent: Westerman, Hattori, Daniels & Adrian, LLP

20080242550 - Tunable filter and method for fabricating the same: The tunable filter includes two or more adjacent resonators, and a variable capacitive coupler formed on the same substrate where the resonators are formed provided between the resonators. The tunable filter is appropriate for integration which can efficiently change a coupling capacitance between the resonators using a simple structure....

20080242551 - Wire-in-conduit magnetic conductor technology: A new type of conductor well-suited for use in a superconducting electromagnet. The conductor comprises a single electrically conductive member at its core. The conductor may include concentric layers of dissimilar materials. This conductor is surrounded by a channel through which coolant—typically liquid helium—can flow. The channel is bounded by... Agent: J.
