  • Publication number: 20240122080
    Abstract: A superconductor device includes a high superconductivity transition temperature enhanced from the raw material transition temperature. The superconductor device includes a matrix material and a core material. The enhancing matrix material and the core material together create a system of strongly coupled carriers. A plurality of low-dimensional conductive features can be embedded in the matrix. The low-dimensional conductive features (e.g., nanowires or nanoparticles) can be conductors or superconductors. An interaction between electrons of the low-dimensional conductive features and the enhancing matrix material can promote excitations that increase a superconductivity transition temperature of the superconductor device.

  • Patent number: 4013392
    Abstract: In an injection moulding machine comprising two relatively movable platens each carrying a mould part, a stop means is provided which, in a first condition, defines a limit to the relative approach movement of the platens, and in a second condition permits further relative approach movement of the platens, means being provided to change the condition of the stop means from the first to the second condition at a predetermined instant after interruption of the relative approach movement of the platens by the stop means.
