Method of operating superconductive computer elements

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF ESTABLISHING A PERSISTENT SUPERCURRENT IN A SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING, SAID SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING BEING CHARACTERIZED BY A CRTICAL ELECTRON VELOCITY WHICH REPRESENTS AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT WHICH IS LESS THAN THE CRITICAL CURRENT, WHICH COMPRISES IMPRESSING UPON THE SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING A MAGNETIC FIELD MORE THAN TWICE AS GREAT IN INTENSITY AS THAT REQUIRED TO ACCELERATE THE ELECTRONS IN THE SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING TO THE CRITICAL ELECTRON VELOCITY AND THEN DECREASING THE IMPRESSED MAGNETIC FIELD TO ESSENTIALLY ZERO TO APPLY A NEGATIVE ACCELERATION TO THE ELECTRONS IN THE SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING AND GENERATE IN THE SUPERCONDUCTIVE THIN FILM RING A FLOW OF ELECTRONS IN THE DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO THE FLOW WHICH HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED AT THE CRITICAL ELECTRON VELOCITY, THIS OPPOSITE FLOW OF ELECTRONS BEING AT SUBSTANTIALLY THE CRITICAL ELECTRON VELOCITY AND REPRESENTING A PERSISTENT SUPERCURRENT IN THE THIN SUPERCONDUCTIVE FILM.
