  • Patent number: 11616188
    Abstract: Proposed is a novel embedded structure for suppressing a disturbance in the cross sectional shape and a non-uniform deformation of a metal member arising in a precursor when producing an MgB2 multi-core wire material by a surface reduction process. This superconductive multi-core wire material precursor is characterized by having: soft Cu and Fe pure metals disposed in the center; mixed powder elements, each comprising as a sheath material a metal such as Fe or Nb having a barrier effect preventing a reaction between Mg and Cu, the mixed powder elements being disposed in a form that surrounds the periphery of the soft metal serving as the central material; and disposed around these, an outer shell layer produced from a harder metal than the central material and the sheath material.

    Abstract: From among a U-plane and a C-plane, the U-plane is installed in a first user site which has a base station, and the C-plane is installed in a C-plane site (any site that is not a user site). A system sets a U-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a first user site with a second user site via a wide area network, and a C-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a C-plane site with the first user site via the wide area network. In addition, the system sets an in-site communication path which is a communication path within the first user site and which connects to an inter-site communication path. A U-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which data is transmitted or received by a U-plane. A C-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which a signal is transmitted or received by a C-plane.

  • Patent number: 11387017
    Abstract: The following two problems arise when carbon is added to a starting material powder in the process of production of an MgB2 superconductor: (1) an impurity phase increases; and (2) the degree of substitution of carbon at boron sites is spatially non-uniform. This superconductor production method comprises: a mixing step of mixing a starting material powder and an additive; and a heat treatment step of heat-treating the mixture prepared in the mixing step. The starting material powder is MgB2 powder or a mixed powder of magnesium and boron, and the additive is an Mg—B—C compound containing three elements of magnesium, boron and carbon.
