Title: Fault current limiter using ionic liquid
Inventor: SARGENT PHILLIP MICHAEL
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2012-03-27
Abstract: A fault current limiter of the quenching superconductor type has a solid material in contact with the superconductor or in contact with a thin metal film coating the superconductor. The solid material is electrically insulating. When the superconductor quenches and heats up, following a fault, the solid material melts to form an ionic liquid, which is electrically conducting, thus creating new electrically conducting pathways. The invention reduces hot spots in the superconductor and reduces local temperature rise.

Abstract: A method and for implementing a square root operation on a computer system comprises using an iterative converging approximation technique (e.g. Newton-Raphson), to calculate converging approximations of the reciprocal of the square-root; wherein a concluding iteration calculates a first intermediate value, based on a multiplication of the input value with a previous approximation of the reciprocal; calculates a second intermediate value, based on a multiplication of the first intermediate value with a previous approximation of the reciprocal; and performs a multiplication of the two intermediate values to determine the value of the square-root of the input value. The number of iterations may be based on the number of bits of accuracy in the initial approximation of the reciprocal, and a desired number of bits of accuracy for the determined square-root. Preferably, the concluding iteration multiplier logic comprises rounding down the intermediate values, and the value of the square-root.
