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.

Abstract: A reminder device adapted to be carried on a vehicle's dashboard in front of the vehicle's steering mechanism in such a position as to reflect upwardly onto the inside of the windshield at a position where same can be viewed and read by the driver. The reminder device includes structure movable between a reminder position in which a message reverse-printed on the structure is readable in the windshield as reflected, and a storage position in which the message reverse-printed on the structure is not readable.
