HTS filters or not, Conductus has several applications for its products. For example, Conductus is quite a leader in the manufacture of squid magnetometers. Their competition is Quantum Design in US, and Oxford Instruments (Big Fish!) in UK. Squid magnetometers are being tested by tons of medical researchers all over the world. Conductus has embarked on adding value to the basic squid by combining conventional electronics, croyogenics, and high Tc. So you can use these in small MRI devices, or measure heart beats, or brain waves. Or for non-destructive testing or remote sensing or deep well conductivity measurements for the oil industry. The possible applications are enormous. They have started selling NMR products, they will ship MRI products within a couple of quarters.

Other applications involve josephson junctions, which can be used for high speed switching and fast computers. Conductus may be ready to commercialize products based on these in about two years if the market is ready.

Conductus has a lot of respect as a superconductor company. They have collaborated with the best in each business that they are trying to get into. Lucent in PCS filters, Fore systems and IBM in ATM switching project, Varian in NMR, Siemens in MRI, and Phillips and Stanford University for mammograms.

Let us leave the HTS filter technological evaluation to the companies that are testing. Is their is any medical scientist out there who could filll us in on Squid usage?
