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: Joining process, joined article, and process of fabricating a joined article are disclosed. The joining process includes providing a consumable electrode comprising a first material and a second material, melting the consumable electrode by a current-induced melting or remelting, and re-solidifying the first material and the second material to form a dissimilar ingot having a first region being a re-solidification of the first material and a second region being a re-solidification of the second material. The joined article includes the first region and the second region; the dissimilar ingot at least partially defines the joined article. The process of fabricating includes providing the dissimilar ingot, positioning the dissimilar ingot within a die, and applying force from the die to compress the dissimilar ingot, thereby forming the joined article.

Abstract: A specialized nozzle assembly that dispenses spray patterns of varying textures, e.g., coarse or fine particles; for use in an aerosol system for applying a spray texture material to a wall or like supporting structure. The nozzle assembly includes an elongated passageway and a generally cone-shaped member attached thereon.

Abstract: A more controllable acoustic ceiling patch or textured material in the form of a sprayable composition includes a base, a filler, an adhesive binder, an anti-foaming agent, a suspension agent, and rubber particulates or polyethylene particulates forming an aggregate suitable for spraying in the presence of volatile organic compound (VOC) propellants without melting or deterioration. The more controllable acoustic ceiling patch is storable and dispensable from a pressurized dispenser having a delivery nozzle. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the textured material onto a prepared patch area, which may be on a drywall or support panel so as to match and blend with the surrounding acoustic ceiling surface area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.

Abstract: A valve assembly is disclosed for use in an aerosol spray can capable of spraying viscous materials or materials with large particulates without clogging or packing like traditional aerosol spray cans designed for spraying texture materials. The valve opening may be located at substantially any point between the bottom and the top of the container. The valve assembly includes a plurality of side-fitting dip tubes, a side-feeding mechanism, and at least one storage member connected, respectively, to at least one of the dip tubes, whereby texture material is dispensed when a central channel is aligned with a side conduit that is in flow communication with the dip tubes. This allows highly-viscous materials, such as a fire suppressant material, or materials having large particulates, such as stucco, as well as resin/catalyst or blowing-agent/urethane combinations to be sprayed from a single aerosol spray can without clogging.
