Patents by Inventor Boris A. Maiorov

Boris A. Maiorov has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • METHOD FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS WITHIN A MAGNETIC FIELD
    Publication number: 20100022397
    Abstract: The present invention provides articles including a base substrate including a layer of an oriented cubic oxide material having a rock-salt-like structure layer thereon; and, a buffer layer upon the oriented cubic oxide material having a rock-salt-like structure layer, the buffer layer having an outwardly facing surface with a surface morphology including particulate outgrowths of from 10 nm to 500 run in size at the surface, such particulate outgrowths serving as flux pinning centers whereby the article maintains higher performance within magnetic fields than similar articles without the necessary density of such outgrowths.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 30, 2004
