US Patent:

52964590, Mar 22, 1994
Filed:

Jun 19, 1992
Appl. No.:

7/902224
Inventors:

Yehia Negm - Braintree MA
George O. Zimmerman - South Hamilton MA
Randy J. McConeghy - Waxahachie TX
Assignee:

Trustees of Boston University - Boston MA
International Classification:

H01L 3912
B05D 512
US Classification:

505 1
Abstract:

The present invention provides a methodology for forming an electrically conductive contact on the external surface of superconductive materials. The methodology is employed using any Noble metal to form the conductive contact; and is used with any superconductive material conventionally known. The resulting conductive contact provides a low electrical resistance and firm point of electrical junction for the superconductor with any conductive material in any electrical circuit or use.

US Patent:

53767551, Dec 27, 1994
Filed:

Apr 10, 1992
Appl. No.:

7/866595
Inventors:

Yehia Negm - Braintree MA
George O. Zimmerman - South Hamilton MA
Robert E. Powers - East Boston MA
Randy J. McConeghy - Waxahachie TX
Alvaro Kaplan - Brookline MA
Assignee:

Trustees of Boston University - Boston MA
International Classification:

H01B 1200
US Classification:

505231
Abstract:

A composite lead is provided which electrically links and conducts a current between about 75-80K. and liquid helium temperature of about 4. 5K. The composite lead may be employed singly or in multiples concurrently to provide conduction of electrical current from normal conductors and semi-conductors at room temperature to superconductors operating at 4. 5K. In addition, a variety of organizationl arrangements and assemblies are provided by which the mechanical strength and electrical reliability of the composite lead is maintained.
