Method of making couplings to super-conductor circuits

Claim 1

A METHOD FOR MAKING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO A SUPERCONDUCTIVE CIRCUIT MOUNTED ON A FIRST SIDE OF A METAL SUBSTRATE WHICH COMPRISES (A) FORMING A DESIRED HOLE IN THE METAL SUBSTRATE AND FILLING SAID HOLE WITH A FILLED PLASTIC RESIN HAVING A SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION AS THE METAL OF THE SUBSTRATE, (B) LOCATING A CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT WITHIN AND PASSING THROUGH SAID HOLE SEPARATED FROM CONTACAT WITH THE SIDES THEREOF BY SAID RESIN, (C) POLISHING A FIRST SIDE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE INCLUDING PLASTIC RESIN, THE CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT, AND THE SUBSTRATE TO FORM A PLANAR SURFACE ACROSS THE INTERFACE THEREBTWEEN, (D) APPLYING A THIN INSULATING COATING TO DESIRED AREAS OF THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE METAL SUBSTRATE (E) DEPOSITING DESIRED SURFACE CONDUCTORS ON SAID INSULATING COATING AND SAID PLASTIC RESIN TO MAKE DIRECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH THE CONDUCTING ELEMENT WITHIN SAID HOLE.

Claim 2

A METHOD FOR MAKING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO A SUPERCONDUCTIVE CIRCUIT MOUNTED ON A FIRST SIDE OF A METAL SUBSTRATE WHICH COMPRISES (A) FORMING A DESIRED HOLE IN THE METAL SUBSTRATE AND FILLING SAID HOLE WITH A FILLED PLASTIC RESIN HAVING A SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION AS THE METAL OF THE SUBSTRATE, (B) LOCATING A CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT WITHIN AND PASSING THROUGH SAID HOLE SEPARATED FROM CONTACAT WITH THE SIDES THEREOF BY SAID RESIN, (C) POLISHING A FIRST SIDE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE INCLUDING PLASTIC RESIN, THE CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT, AND THE SUBSTRATE TO FORM A PLANAR SURFACE ACROSS THE INTERFACE THEREBTWEEN, (D) APPLYING A THIN INSULATING COATING TO DESIRED AREAS OF THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE METAL SUBSTRATE (E) DEPOSITING DESIRED SURFACE CONDUCTORS ON SAID INSULATING COATING AND SAID PLASTIC RESIN TO MAKE DIRECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH THE CONDUCTING ELEMENT WITHIN SAID HOLE.

Claim 3

A METHOD OF MAKING AN ACTIVE ELEMENT OF A SUPER CONDUCTOR TRANSFORMER WHICH COMPRISES (A) DRILLING A HOLE THROUGH A METAL SUBSTRATE IN THE ARAEA WHERE IT IS DESIRED FOR MAGNETIC COUPLING TO OCCUR IN THE TRANSFORMER, (B) FILLING SAID HOLE WITH A FILLED PLALSTIC RESIN INSULATING MATERIAL HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION AS THAT OF THE METAL, (C) POLISHING ONE SURFACE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE FORMED BY THE METAL SUBSTRATE AND THE PLASTIC RESIN INSULATING MATERIAL TO FORM A SMOOTH PLANAR SURFACE, (D) DEPOSITING AN INSULATIVE LAYER ON THE METAL PORTION OF THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE AND (E) DEPOSITING A STRIP LINE ON SAID INSULATIVE LAYER AND POLISHED SURFACE OF SAID PLASTIC RESIN INSULATIVE MATERIAL WITHIN THE HOLE IN THE SUBSTRATE.

Claim 4

A METHOD OF MAKING AN ACTIVE ELEMENT OF A SUPER CONDUCTOR TRANSFORMER WHICH COMPRISES (A) DRILLING A HOLE THROUGH A METAL SUBSTRATE IN THE ARAEA WHERE IT IS DESIRED FOR MAGNETIC COUPLING TO OCCUR IN THE TRANSFORMER, (B) FILLING SAID HOLE WITH A FILLED PLALSTIC RESIN INSULATING MATERIAL HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION AS THAT OF THE METAL, (C) POLISHING ONE SURFACE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE FORMED BY THE METAL SUBSTRATE AND THE PLASTIC RESIN INSULATING MATERIAL TO FORM A SMOOTH PLANAR SURFACE, (D) DEPOSITING AN INSULATIVE LAYER ON THE METAL PORTION OF THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE AND (E) DEPOSITING A STRIP LINE ON SAID INSULATIVE LAYER AND POLISHED SURFACE OF SAID PLASTIC RESIN INSULATIVE MATERIAL WITHIN THE HOLE IN THE SUBSTRATE.
