DEFINITION

Classification: 505/150

HIGH TEMPERATURE (Tc GREATER THAN 30 K) DEVICES, SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, COMPONENTS, OR STOCK, OR PROCESSES OF USING:

(under the class definition) Articles having structure, such as devices, systems, apparatus, components, or stock, containing an element or means capable of operating as a superconductor at a critical temperature Tc of greater than 30 K, or processes of using the same.

(1) Note. Subclass 150 will take processes of using high temperature superconducting materials, per se, even if there is no indication as to what apparatus or device is involved with the use. For example, a process of using high temperature superconducting material to separate gaseous mixtures based upon differences in magnetic properties of the gaseous components goes in this subclass since no comparable apparatus subclass is provided hereinunder.

100+, for an article having no structure and identified only by composition.
