contemplate and instant

照您所贴的后文看来，“the circumstances which are contemplated by the instant invention" 是指其后所描述的局限性。
所以这里的"instant" 是指发明"当时”所考量到的状况，也就是后面叙述的缺点。
instant 的用法就好像：He felt sick the (very) instant he got on the crowded bus.
不知就您翻译全文的了解，是否这个意思？

这是背景技术里面的，我把整个一段都贴出来。
In the art, Custom Electronics, Incorporated, of Oneonta, N.Y., USA, provides a commercially available power electronics capacitor with a maximum operating temperature of about 260° C. That device has operating voltage stress of about 25 volts per micrometer of thickness for its solid dielectric material (VDC/μm), a dielectric constant (ε) near 5, and an energy density of around 0.014 J/cm3. While that capacitor uses a silicone-impregnated, reconstituted mica paper dielectric, it is not deployable under the circumstances which are contemplated by the instant invention because the impregnant used therein is thermally degraded at temperatures approaching 260° C. The effect of this degradation can lead to the complete failure of most state of the art dielectrics.

就我所理解，这里的大概意思是说,在尚无立即开发的状况下，该capacitor的发明仍无法开展/部署
