Title: Method of manufacturing long length composite superconductors
IPC: H01B12/10
Filed: 1970-07-17
Abstract: 1316984 Super-conductors COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON HOUSTON-HOTCHKISS BRANDT 17 July 1970 [18 July 1969] 34901/70 Headings H1A and A4D Stabilized super-conductor composites are applied to the surface of an elongate base support at a temperature permitting retention of the superconductor's properties by merging the composites into the surface of the support, the composites being applied so that the super-conductor filaments are inclined at an angle to the major axis of the support. The composites may comprise Cu strips or wires containing one or a plurality of super-  conductor filaments. The filaments may extend parallel to the axis of the composite or be transposed. As shown, a plurality of stabilized superconductor composites are laid on to a heated Cu tube 31 in a protective atmosphere and the assembly is then drawn down by means of die 37 and core 38 to merge the composites into the surface of the tube. The tube is heated by passing an electric current through it, by RF heating, or by passing it through a furnace. The tube may be replaced by a square-section rod, Fig. 7 (not shown), which subsequently may be worked to a tubular shape. A flattened tube may be used as the core, Fig. 9 (not shown), and subsequently inflated. Two composite ribbons may be lapped round a Cu tube, Fig. 14 (not shown). In a further embodiment, ribbons of Nb 3 Sn formed by diffusion are electro-plated with Cu and hot-plated on to Cu strips which are then wound about a tube with gaps between the strips. The assembly is then coated with Pb-Sn solder. The ribbons may be replaced with multi-filament composites of Nb plus Sn and steel, which are applied to the tube and drawn followed by an annealing step to react the Nb and Sn together. The composite may be of Nb-Ti embedded in Cu or Nb and Sn filaments embedded in a Cu or Al strip. Sn filaments may be replaced with Al-Ge to give an Nb3(AlGe) super-conductor. Stainless steel or a Cu-Be alloy may be included to strengthen the composites.

Title: Electrode holder for electric arc generators for the production of high frequency electric waves
IPC: H03B11/08
Filed: 1921-12-29
Abstract: 195,453. Jones, H. Sefton-, (Lorenz Akt.-Ges., C.). Dec. 29, 1921. Discharge-gap apparatus. - T h e electrode holders of an electric arc for producing high-frequency currents, are formed hollow and serve to receive and guide coaxially a number of electrodes inserted one behind another. en the introduction of a new electrode all those in the holder being advanced the length of an electrode. In the arrangement shown, double-ended carbons are used for both electrodes and. both holders are made hollow throughout their length, the, lower holder, Fig. 2, accomirodating three electrodes. To change the electrodes, a new one is inserted in the push l of the lower holder, the push then being rammed home, thereby advancing the three electrodes already in the holder and replacing the spent electrode. The springs c close ever the shoulder of the electrode last introduced and permit the push l to be withdrawn. The ejected electrode a<2> forces in the upper electrode a' together with the casing d, until a ball grip k on the latter drops into apertures m in the holder, after which the electrode continues its movement alone until its lower shoulder passes the grip k. The casing d is then forced out again by a spring f compressed by the inward movement of the casing, and passes over the electrode ejected from the lower shoulder, the lower end of this electrode now forming the upper combustion, point. During renewal of the elcetrode the entire lower holder advances in a bearing against the action of a spring g, thus compensating for the distance between the arcing points. This movement, and consequently the length of the arc-gap, may be adjusted by regulating the spring tension bv means of a wheel i.
