Hi,
These are indeed our Ultraconductors. David has been a consultant to the Company in the past. He studied these polymers on a U.S. government grant for a year before we met him back about 1995. He has published several papers about these polymers before and since and has a somewhat different theoretical perspective from that of Dr. Grigorov or our own team.
This paper suggests that the Tc (critical temperature) may be 350 C (upwards of 650 degrees F). Grigorov believes it to be 1,000 C, which is far above the temperature at which the polymers disintegrate. From a practical viewpoint I'm not sure it matters much. We believe the upper temperature limit for practical applications is not more than 200 C (390 F).
Others in our firm are better qualified than I to comment on such technical issues and doubtless will eventually do so.

Hi.
I was wondering if Mark Goldes had a comment about this paper that just came over my (virtual) desk.

It sounded sort of familiar.
