Formerly known as Rey Research Corporation, The Tai-Yang Research Company (TYRC) develops military, space and commercial applications of high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials. The firm uses superconducting materials to make devices that require high power, such as motors, generators, transformers, and power transmission cables. The most common application is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which uses superconducting magnets. Superconducting materials provide an attractive alternative where higher power density is required. Currently, the firm's niche is making one-off prototypes of these devices. The firm performs early stage, high risk, design and development of devices and systems where high temperature superconductors are an enabling technology, emphasizing development of fully functional hardware designed to meet application-specific requirements. The Tai-Yang Research Company's products include customized high temperature superconducting magnets, current leads, and connectors for superconducting cables.
