Abstract: A phase separation jig (100) for a superconducting cable includes: a cable holder (10) maintaining each core (80) of a multi-core superconducting cable (2) in a predetermined tolerable bending manner; and a coupler (20, 30) holding the cable holder (10) for each core (80) at a predetermined spacing with each other. Each core (80) is spaced apart from each other and maintained in a tolerable bending manner by the holder (10). Accordingly, a phase separation structure can be obtained which can regulate deformation of the cable and prevent abnormal deformation even for a superconducting cable.

Abstract: A communication device, able to establish synchronization of frequency and able to continuously track a carrier even if an oscillation frequency of an oscillator changes, wherein the device changes the oscillation frequency of a reference frequency oscillator according to established protocols when the base station of the other party in communication changes by generating a frequency change signal for reporting that the base station has changed and the frequency must be changed and outputting it to a control unit of a GPS baseband unit and wherein, when not receiving a frequency change signal, the control unit makes a tracking unit operate divided into three groups of loop units of a group of loop units for the currently synchronized frequency and groups of loop units for the frequency f±&Dgr;fs of the ± change and, when receiving a frequency change signal, makes the tracking unit operate divided into two groups of loop units for the frequency f±&Dgr;fs of the ± change excluding th

Abstract: A superconducting cable is manufactured by providing spacers 12 in a plurality of cores 2 at the time of stranding of the cores 2, and removing the spacers 12 before the stranded cores 2 are housed in a thermally insulated pipe and housing the cores into the thermally insulated pipe while the strands are held in a slacked state. By means of temporal interposition of the spacers, there is easily manufactured three cores having sufficient slack to manage thermal contraction which occurs when the cores are cooled in the thermally insulated pipe.

Abstract: An information recording medium includes a data area for recording user data, and a defect management area for recording a defect list for managing N number of defect areas existing in the data area, where N is an integer satisfying N≧0. The defect list includes a header located at a fixed position in the defect list, N number of defect entries respectively including position information on positions of the N number of defect areas, and an anchor.

Abstract: A brushless motor (10) comprises a stator yoke plate (16) made of a magnetic material, to which both main surfaces the first and the second flexible printed circuit boards (20) (22) formed integrally including a connecting part (24) are stuck respectively. On the first flexible printed circuit board (20), a plurality of driving coils (30) are arranged annularly and a conductor pattern for a speed detecting coil is formed inside the driving coils (30). On the integrated stator yoke plate (16) and the first and second flexible printed circuit boards (20) (22), a penetrated hole (18) for passing through a rotor shaft (54) is formed generally in the center. A tongue (36) is formed generally in protrusion inwardly from the periphery defining the penetrated hole (18) on which a connecting conductor pattern connected to the speed detecting coil is formed.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus are, herein, disclosed for producing microspheres of fissile and/or fertile materials with a high degree of sphericity from a feed solution starter containing at least one metal salt selected from among thorium, uranium and plutonium by using as a gelling medium an organic solvent that has a higher density and a greater interfacial tension with water than the feed solution and which is capable of dissolving ammonia.
