Mathematical model predicting the heat and power dissipated in an electro-conductive contact in a hybrid woven fabric [PDF]
Electro-conductive (EC) yarns can be woven into a hybrid fabric to enable electrical current to flow through the fabric from one component A to another component B. These hybrid fabrics form the bases of woven e-textiles.

Current limiting and negative differential resistance in indium oxide based ceramics [PDF]
Indium oxide based ceramics with bismuth oxide addition were sintered in air in the temperature range 800-1300 ºC. Current-voltage characteristics of In2O3-Bi2O3 ceramics sintered at different temperatures are weakly nonlinear.

Varistors: A Useful Tool for Superconducting Magnet Quench Protection
A perfect varistor is a constant voltage resistor as a function of current through the resistor. A perfect varistor can't exist, because its resistance would be infinite at zero current. In electronic devices, varistors are often used as surge protectors.
