Today's news alerts include: Superconductor Technologies Submits Dept. of Energy Proposals With GE Global Research Collaborations to Include Next Generation Cryocoolers and HTS Superconducting Materials SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Jun 15, 2009 -- Superconductor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:SCON) ("STI"), a leader in the development and production of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, has completed the submission of two proposals in response to a request for concept papers requiring funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency -- Energy (ARPA-E) branch of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Both of the proposals were made jointly with GE Global Research, a subsidiary of General Electric (NYSE:GE). STI submitted the two proposals in response to a May solicitation from ARPA-E, a new organization within the DOE set up to fund projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Jeff Quiram, president and CEO of STI, stated: "STI is committed to applying our unique material science capabilities and manufacturing expertise to a number of potentially revolutionary applications, including HTS wire for electric power grid applications and cryocoolers for electric devices. We are honored to be working with GE Global Research on these projects." In the first proposal, STI and GE Global Research have jointly proposed the adaptation of STI's proprietary cryocooler technology for usage in next generation wind turbines. The goal of the program is to utilize the proven reliability of STI's cryocooler for an application where extended reliability is a key requirement. STI would lead the development program, with GE Global Research providing critical technical assistance in establishing device specifications and product integration requirements.

The second joint proposal to ARPA-E is an outgrowth of the previously announced collaboration to jointly develop a successful commercial production process for 2G HTS tape, a key enabling technology in superconducting devices for emerging power generation and electric power grid applications. Now joined by GE Global Research, the parties have requested funding for a project to adapt STI's proprietary HTS material deposition process with the goal of producing HTS tape at a viable cost. While the performance benefits of superconducting tape are well recognized in the industry, the ability to manufacture sufficient quantity of tape at a competitive price has been a significant impediment to market acceptance. GE Global Research would provide significant technical assistance in establishing performance requirements and refining STI's manufacturing process for producing HTS tape.

Initial submissions were due to ARPA-E by June 10th, at which time a review of all proposals will be completed. ARPA-E will inform all applicants whether a submission has been approved, at which time the selected applicants will be invited to submit the full application package for the proposed project to ARPA-E.
