Potential NASA and DoD applications include, for example, missions that require the improved signal to noise ratios obtainable with on-focal plane, high-resolution, analog-to-digital (A/D) data converters, based on the Josephson effect, which require cryogenic supporting technology.
Potential commercial applications include cryopumps for use in the electronics manufacturing industry, cooling superconducting magnets for MRI systems and squid magnetometers used in the medical industry.
