Ki-Deok Sim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8441247
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for measuring the critical current of a superconducting tape. A continuous critical current measurement apparatus for measuring critical current of a superconducting tape while feeding a superconducting tape in a liquid nitrogen container includes wheel-type current terminals and wheel-type voltage terminals. The superconducting tape is continuously supplied and fed by a reel-to-reel device, and the critical current of the superconducting tape is measured in real time using the wheel-type current terminals and the wheel-type voltage terminals while the superconducting tape is fed at constant linear velocity in contact with the wheel-type current terminals and the wheel-type voltage terminals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6891455
    Abstract: A gravity control apparatus is provided, in which is controlled through the superconducting coil designed for generating uniform magnetic force. The gravity control apparatus includes a hollow cylindrical low temperature container; a combination of B0 coil and a symmetric and/or asymmetric gradient magnetic field generating coil having a predetermined length and inner and outer radiuses, wherein each of B0 coil and gradient magnetic field generating coil is wound onto a bobbin which is installed to the low temperature container so as to form a superconducting magnet, and the B0 coil has three solenoid coils which are arrayed in three parts with a predetermined spacing so as to generate, from the center of the B0 coil, uniform magnetic field having constant magnetic flux density; and a power unit for supplying operating current to each of coils. Thus, gravity acting on the material disposed in the hollow center of the low temperature container can be compensated with a uniform magnetic force.
