- a cryogenic device that uses the principle that a varying magnetic field can cause the resistance of a superconducting element to change rapidly between its high normal and low superconductive values: used as a switch and as a computer-memory element.
- a miniature switch working at the temperature of liquid helium and depending for its action on the production and destruction of superconducting properties in the conductor
