  • Mitigating the effects of defects in high temperature semiconductor wires
    Patent number: 8680015
    Abstract: A method includes locating a defect in a first segment of high temperature superconducting wire. A second segment of high temperature superconducting wire is then positioned onto the first segment of high temperature superconducting wire such that the second segment of high temperature superconducting wire overlaps the defect. A path is then created such that current flows through the second segment of high temperature superconducting wire. The first segment of high temperature superconducting wire and second segment of high temperature superconducting wire are then laminated together.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignee: American Superconductor Corporation
    Inventors: Henry C. Valcour, III, Peter D. Antaya, John Gannon, Eric R. Podtburg, Subramaniam Anandakugan, William L. Carter, Hong Cai, Michael A. Tanner, David Crotzer, Alexander Otto, Dana Krause
