	Conductus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The conductus was one of the principal types of vocal composition of the ars antiqua period of medieval music history.
		Most of the conductus compositions of the large mid-13th century manuscript collection from Notre Dame are for two or three voices.
		Conductus are also unique in the Notre Dame repertory in admitting secular melodies as source material, though sacred melodies were also commonly used.

		Most of the pieces on this program are conductus (this Latin word is a noun of the fourth declension, so the plural form in the nominative case is the same as the singular).
		Some conductus may have had a role in the medieval liturgy, and the text of this piece is in the same character as any number of Marian chants from the same period.
		The three-part conductus that followed it ("Serena virginum") and the final conductus on the program ("Ave nobilis venerabilis"), in four parts, both conclude with the versicle "Benedicamus domino/Deo gracias," that was sung at the end of the medieval service of Matins.

	1000: A Mass for the end of Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Latin songs we have selected are all conductus, a generic term derived from the practice of using para-liturgical vocal music to accompany, or “conduct” processions during solemn services.
		In reality, these conductus are anything but generic: they exhibit a wide variety of styles and textures, from simple monophonic songs (like O Maria O felix puerpera) to lengthy and virtuosic compositions (like Ave salus hominum and the dazzling Mater patris et filia).
		All of the works on this program are taken from French sources, with the exception of two virtuoso conductus from the thirteenth-century Spanish manuscript known as the Codex de las Huelgas, a rich hybrid containing major works from the Parisian repertoire of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, as well as indigenous compositions.

	Ch8: SCE Collaborations in the United States
		Also, in the early years of the four small SCE companies that have blazed the trail in the United States (Conductus, ISC, SCT, and STI), their activities were in some ways similar to centralized collaborative activities.
		With their stronger (exclusive, in some cases) focus on wireless products of the past few years, the four companies can no longer be regarded as so strongly linked to the research community, but over the first 5 years of HTS work, they had a unique role in the U.S. research program in HTS.
		A somewhat more formal type of collaboration in the United States is nicknamed the "Big Three." With funding that is independently negotiated, Conductus, Northrop Grumman, and TRW have under strong government urging shared the results of their efforts to improve the uniformity of HTS SNS junctions.

	Biographies of selected composers
		The manuscript from which this conductus comes is a compendium of the Notre Dame repertoire of liturgical and non-liturgical sacred music with Latin texts.
		Like other examples of the conductus, "Castitatis Thalamum" is not based on a pre-existent liturgical chant but is freely composed, with all voices singing the same rhymed, metric text in a homophonic texture.
		Historically associated with processions, conductus are the sacred equivalent of troubadour songs, and often have political or satirical texts.

		Three superconductor companies--Superconductor Technologies, Conductus, and Illinois Superconductor--have pierced the stock market stratosphere in what one analyst described as "obscene gains." Superconductor Technologies (SCON) of Santa Barbara, Calif., climbed to a high of $115 from a low of less than $2.5 in the space of a year.
		Conductus (CDTS) of Sunnyvale, Calif., shot up from a low of 5 cents to a high of nearly $93 in the same period.

		Conductus' Simmons agreed that thin film is more practical, compact, highly selective and provides the flexibility to adjust gain and configurations as needed from cell site to cell site.
		In government wireless products where portability is important and reliability requirements are less stringent, Conductus uses Stirling coolers, which typically have a mean-time failure rate of seven to 27 months.

		The anthology is representative, in terms of both subject matter and musical style, of the conductus repertory as a whole.
		The musical settings range from short, strophic structures to works of gradiose proportions and from simple and direct to intricate and richly ornamented.

		Conductus will take on that challenge, attempting to design and build a new system that features thin-film high-temperature superconductor (HTS) filters that are three times better than current state-of-the-art HTS filter technology.
		The Conductus system will include an unprecedented, software-controlled mechanism for optimizing base-station parameters to adjust for rapidly changing conditions that affect wireless traffic -- such as rush hour -- and more long-term changes, such as construction of a new shopping center in the area.
		ATP support will enable Conductus to accelerate by three years the development of this leapfrog technology, and may be essential to the success of future generations of wireless technology.

		Though the suit cites the Conductus litigation as the partners' motive for their alleged agreement with Hoeffner, it fails to note that the Conductus matter did, in fact, leave Orrick for Chadbourne & Parke, where it was handled by Goodwin.

	Interview with Charles Shalvoy, Conductus: TWST
		Shalvoy: Conductus was founded in 1987, the year after high-temperature superconductors were discovered and as you remember, this was a major scientific discovery that opened up many potential applications in a number of different industries.
		For the first five years of Conductus’ life, we were an R&D company, basically taking this new technology from the laboratory and making the first working devices.
		The next four years were spent in what I would call, the “applications development phase” or the search for the killer application.

	ORB -- Introduction to Medieval Music
		The monophonic conductus, also known as the versus, follows a strophic structure, in which the music is repeated for each successive stanza of poetry.
		These pieces are thought to have served as accompaniment to liturgical action, as the celebrant moved from one location to another within the church or chapel.
		The thirteenth-century motet is frequently contrasted with the polyphonic conductus, which had a single poetic text for all voices, with aligning rhythms and cadences.
