Publication number: 20240122080Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Philipp Braeuninger-Weimer, Nathan P.

Publication number: 20180085548Abstract: Anxiety attacks can often be limited or eliminated by reducing the concentration of inhaled carbon dioxide. Disclosed is a handheld device for reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of inhaled air by using stacked sheets having rows of adsorbents deposited thereon and which form a removable cartridge. The cartridge is placed into an adsorbent cartridge cradle to secure the cartridge within the device housing and to maintain ventilation channels through the cartridge. Inhaled air passes through the adsorbent containing cartridge and exhaled air exits the device through a bypass to avoid poisoning the adsorbent with exhaled carbon dioxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2016Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Stephen Cox, Geoffrey Charles Wolf

Patent number: 8521335Abstract: Instead of disposing gray water with sewage water, a gray water recycling apparatus uses a series of sensors and determines the acceptability of chemical concentrations and temperature of the gray water for use in irrigation purposes so as to ensure the recycled gray water is safe for irrigation. If it is, a three-way valve is positioned to direct the gray water to an irrigation pipe; otherwise, the three-way valve is positioned to direct the water to a public sewage system or septic tank.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Inventors: Magdalena M.
