  • Publication number: 20050212634
    Abstract: An electrical device operating on the principle of induction, such as a transformer. The device employs High Temperature Superconductors to build pancake coils having a very low height to diameter ratio. These pancake coils are placed around ferromagnetic core legs as in a conventional transformer. In multiphase applications, the low height to diameter ratio of the pancake coils causes the transformer to become quite wide. The present invention proposes overlapping the adjacent pancake coils in a multiphase induction device to reduce the width. A specific example of a 3-phase power transformer is presented.

  • Patent number: 6785373
    Abstract: A system and method for providing call information query stores modified call information associated with a telephone number within the local databases of a service provider's local network. The modified call information enables a service provider to unilaterally alter how calls are routed and rated. The service switching points (SSPs) located within a same local network are equipped with modified intelligent network or advanced intelligent network software that enables the local SSPs to receive remote call information resulting from a remote query performed by a remote SSP. The local SSPs analyze the remote call information and generate queries to their local databases to obtain modified call information. New services requiring modified call information can then be implemented based upon the modified call information received as a result of the queries.
