Appeal No. 1999-1462 Application No. 08/747,881 The invention is related to a superconducting wire which comprises a metal sheath having a thickness-directional dimension and a plurality of superconductors independently distributed in the metal sheath in the thickness direction. The thickness-directional dimension of each of the superconductors is not more than 5% of the thickness- directional outside dimension of the metal sheath. The superconductors are bismuth oxide superconductors having components of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O or (Bi, Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. The invention includes an organic material provided to cover the metal sheath. The invention is further illustrated by the following claim. 1. A superconducting wire comprising: a metal sheath having a thickness-directional dimension; and a plurality of superconductors independently distributed in said metal sheath in said thickness direction, wherein the thickness-directional dimension of each said superconductor is not more than 5% of the thickness directional outside dimension of said metal sheath and wherein said superconductors are bismuth oxide superconductors having components of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O or for this appeal (paper no. 41). 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
