DEFINITION

Classification: 326/5

Interference device (i.e., SQUID):

(under subclass 3) Subject matter including a device which controls or modulates electrical currents based on the quantum wave properties of a current carrying electrons in solids.

(1) Note. A superconductive interference device is also called a superconductive quantum interference device or SQUID.

(2) Note. A SQUID may obtain the control or modulation of electrical currents by, for example, causing a relative phase displacement between at least two currents flowing through a superconductor and combines these two currents after the phase displacement has been achieved, etc.
