Inventor: OKAZAKI TORU
IPC: H01F6/06
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A superconducting fault current limiter is provided which is capable
of ensuring a sufficient impedance for restricting an excessive current flow
caused by an accident and completely satisfying a canceling condition of a
magnetic field during normal operation without using an iron core. 
     The fault current limiter includes first superconducting coils (1) and
second superconducting coils (2) including windings of superconducting
lines. First superconducting coils (1) are electrically connected in series
with second superconducting coils (2). First superconducting coils (1) and
second superconducting coils (2) generate magnetic fields in opposite
directions by application of currents. The fault current limiter further
includes a component (R2) selected from a group consisting of a resistor and
an inductor, the component being electrically connected in parallel with
second superconducting coils (2). First superconducting coils (1) and
second superconducting coils (2) are alternately arranged in a ring form
such that a coil axis is circular.

Patent EP-1188773-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BENEDINI FRANCESCA
IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a new class of compounds presenting a
high compatibility with tissues and organic fluids. Such new compounds
are polysaccharides, essentially formed of units of uronic acid and/or
hexosamine, containing nitro groups -ONO 2  covalently bonded to
the saccharide structure. Preferably, the polysaccharides according to
the invention are prevalently of disaccharide repeating units formed of
uronic acid and hexosamione. 
     These compounds, in physiological conditions, selectively release NO,
allowing a reduction in the amount of NO needed to achieve a determined
therapeutical effect. This result has been achieved by functionalizing
polysaccharides essentially formed of units of uronic acid and/or
hexosamine, with substituents containing a -ONO 2  group.
