Appeal No. 1997-0534
Application 08/171,904
Angstroms in diameter; and
(c) combining said ultra-fined grained superparamagnetic
particles with said powdered high temperature superconductor
to form a solid mass comprised of crystalline grains of said
superparamagnetic particles and said powdered high temperature
superconductor, said superparasmagnetic particles constituting
about 0.1 -0.3% by weight of the total, and having grain
boundaries between said grains of said powdered high
temperature superconductor and a dispersion of said
superparamagnetic particles on the grain boundaries, thereby
enhancing intergrain critical current density of said high
temperature superconducting material.
The Examiner relies on the following reference:
Wijeyesekera et al. (Wijeyesekera) 4,999,338 Mar. 12, 1991
Claims 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 to 9 stand rejected under 35

Appellants and the Examiner, we make reference to the brief
and the answer for their respective positions.
