Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to systems and methods for obtaining a high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable assembly and filling the HTS cable assembly with a molten metal, such as solder.

Abstract: An object monitor including two or more sensors for detecting two or more objects on two or more paths. Each sensor operates to detect location values of an object traveling along one of the paths. A processor receives first location values of a first object and calculates a first arrival time of the first object at a collision point. The processor receives second location values of a second object and calculates a second arrival time of the second object at the collision point. The processor operates to provide an alarm signal when the first arrival time and the second arrival time are within a safety difference value of being equal.

Abstract: An off-chip signal is provided to a differential branch-line directional coupler implemented entirely on-chip. The coupler produces differential quadrature signals, which are then buffered and applied to a quadrature mixer. The coupler is implemented entirely on-chip using microstrip transmission lines. The coupler is made up of a plurality of rings and a plurality of underpasses connecting ports of the rings, wherein each of the plurality of rings is made up of four branch lines, and each branch line having an electrical length of one-quarter wavelength at the center design frequency. Coupling between the plurality of branch lines of the rings may be varied.

Abstract: A process for removing at least one thin-film layer from a surface of a workpiece pursuant to manufacturing a microelectronic interconnect or component is set forth. Generally stated, the process comprises the oxidation of at least a portion of the at least one thin-film layer and the etching of the oxidized thin-film layer using an etchant that selectively etches primarily the oxidized thin-film layer.

Abstract: Alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists having the formula: ##STR1## which are useful to produce .alpha.-adrenoceptor antagonism, pharmaceutical compositions including these antagonists, and methods of using these antagonists to produce .alpha.-adrenoceptor antagonism in mammals.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a transformer winding embedded in casting resin by winding coils respectively by themselves and independently of one another for disposition thereof in tandem in axial direction of the winding includes placing the wound coils in a substantially annular casting mold having an inner and an outer jacket, with respective impregnated corrugated mats of insulating material as spacers disposed between the inner jacket and the coils as well as between the coils and the outer jacket, the inner and the outer jackets being fixed between mold end walls at respective ends of the casting mold; and disposing the casting mold containing the wound coils in an evacuated chamber and pouring casting resin into the casting mold through an axially parallel slot formed in the outer jacket thereof.

Abstract: Transformer, including an iron core, high voltage and low voltage windings, at least one cast resin body completely embedding, holding and insulating the windings, the cast resin body having cooling channels formed therein and having additional channels formed therein being separated from the cooling channels, and insulating gas filling the additional channels.

Abstract: Single-phase transformer, including windings being wound around an axis and cast in resin forming a cast resin body, the cast resin winding body having an outer surface and a rectangular window formed therein with sides disposed in given planes, a wound core formed of tape material extended through the window, two flanges being cast with and integral with the cast resin winding body on opposite sides thereof and parallel to the winding axis and to the window, the flanges having outer edges, mutually parallel inner surfaces substantially disposed in the plane of the narrow sides of the window and grooves formed in the inner surfaces in the vicinity of and parallel to the outer edges, an encapsulation for the wound core being anchored in the grooves, and a grounded metallization layer formed on the outer surface of the cast resin winding body at least immediately adjacent to the wound core.
