Provided is an insulated oxide superconducting cable conductor having a high critical current and a high critical current density. The insulated oxide superconducting cable conductor comprises an elongated former, a plurality of tape-shaped multifilamentary oxide superconducting wires which are wound on the former at a bending strain factor of not more than 0.5%, and a spirally wound tape-shaped insulating material covering the tape-shaped multifilamentary oxide superconducting wires. The tape-shaped multifilamentary superconducting wires are superposed on the former in layers, whereby stabilizing materials of the superposed superconducting wires are in contact with each other. The tape-shaped insulating material consists essentially of a material which is contracted at a thermal contraction rate of at least three times that of the tape-shaped multifilamentary wires by cooling from a temperature of 298 K to that of 77 K. The tape-shaped insulating material can apply a pressure to the superposed multifilamentary superconducting wires toward the former while improving electrical contact between the superposed multifilamentary superconducting wires by cooling in employment. The former can be formed of a flexible tube.

High TC superconducting cable conductor employing oxide superconductor

An oxide superconducting stranded wire having inter-strand insulation and high critical current is provided. A wire including an oxide superconducting material and a matrix covering the material and consisting essentially of silver or a silver alloy is coated with a paint containing, as a main component, an organometallic polymer such as a silicone polymer or aluminum primary phosphorus in a paint reservoir, and the paint is baked in a baking furnace via a drying furnace. A plurality of such wires with the baked paint are twined into a stranded wire, which is then heated up to a temperature necessary for sintering the oxide superconducting material. The stranded wire thus obtained through the step of sintering may have high critical current. A heat-resisting insulating coating layer may be formed by baking the paint.

In a photographic processing system for processing a photographic film for each order without splicing it to other photographic film, a destination of each of plural photographic films having a different destination from each other is determined based on photographic film destination determining information recorded on a photographic film to be processed.

Photographic processing system

Provided is an oxide superconducting conductor consisting of a plurality of metal-covered multifilamentary superconducting wires which are assembled with each other. Bending is applied to the superconducting conductor for improving its critical current density. It is possible to obtain a compact superconducting conductor having higher capacity, since its critical current density is increased by such application of bending.

In order to provide a flexible oxide superconducting cable conductor which is reduced in ac loss, tape-shaped multifilamentary superconducting wires covered with a stabilizing metal are spirally wound on a flexible former. Each of the multifilamentary superconducting wires has a plurality of filaments. The filament contains an oxide superconductor. The superconducting wires are preferably wound on the former at a bending strain of not more than 0.3 %. In winding on the former, a prescribed number of tape-shaped multifilamentary superconducting wires are wound on a core member in a side-by-side manner, to form a first layer. Then, an insulating layer is provided on the first layer. This insulating layer can be formed by an insulating tape. A prescribed number of tape-shaped superconducting multifilamentary wires are wound on the insulating layer in a side-by-side manner, to form a second layer. The insulating layer is adapted to reduce ac loss of the conductors. When the former is made of a metal, it is more preferable to provide an insulating layer between the former and the multifilamentary superconducting wires.
