Appeal No. 1998-1917
Application No. 08/766,984
said tape-shaped insulating material consisting
essentially of a material being contracted at a thermal
contraction rate of at least three times that of said
multifilamentary superconducting wires by cooling from room
temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature, whereby said tape-
shaped insulating material can apply a pressure to superposed
said multifilamentary superconducting wires from said tape-
shaped insulating material toward said former by cooling in
employment so that electrical contact between superposed said
multifilamentary superconducting wires can be improved by
cooling in employment, wherein said insulated superconducting
cable conductor is for dc use.
The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Sato et al. (Sato) 5,276,281 Jan. 04,
1994
(filed August 24, 1992)
Kikuchi et al. (Kikuchi) 1 4-277,410 Oct. 02,
1992
(Published Japanese Patent Application)
Claims 1, 3-7, and 9-15 stand finally rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Kikuchi in view of
Sato.
