Disclosed embodiments enable equipment and methodologies that generate a magnetic field using at least one coil under the control of a controller and transduce radio-frequency energy into lower-frequency current or voltage under control of the controller for application to tissue in a subject's body, whereby the transduction produces a lower-field current or voltage that has an effect upon the subject's body tissue.

According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a film portion, one or more detectors fixed to the film portion, and a processor. The detector includes first and second detecting elements. The first detecting element includes a first magnetic layer. The second detecting element includes a second magnetic layer. A first change rate of a first signal is higher than a second change rate of the first signal. The first signal corresponds to a first electrical resistance of the first detecting element. A change rate of a second signal with respect to the change of the magnitude of the strain is higher than the second change rate. The second signal corresponds to a second electrical resistance of the second detecting element. The processor is configured to perform at least a first operation of outputting a second value. The second value is based on the second signal and a first value.

An electromagnet assembly has an outer shield coil assembly having a first end and a second end, and further has a housing having a first end wall and a second end wall spaced apart from one another by a side wall. The outer shield coil assembly and housing are centered on a common assembly axis. A first support pin extends between and couples the first end wall of the housing and the first end of the outer shield coil assembly. A second support pin extends between and couples the second end wall of the housing and the second end of the outer shield coil assembly. Hence the outer shield coil assembly is carried by the housing by the pins. The coupling of the end walls of the housing and ends of the outer shield coil assembly is configured to prevent relative radial and rotational movement between the outer shield coil assembly and the housing.

Radiofrequency and other electronic devices can be formed from textured hexaferrite materials, such as Z-phase barium cobalt ferrite Ba.sub.3Co.sub.2Fe.sub.24O.sub.41 (Co.sub.2Z) having enhanced resonant frequency. The textured hexaferrite material can be formed by sintering fine grain hexaferrite powder at a lower temperature than conventional firing temperatures to inhibit reduction of iron. The textured hexaferrite material can be used in radiofrequency devices such as circulators or telecommunications systems.

A low viscosity polysulfide sealant composition. The composition comprises a curable polysulfide polymer; a crosslinking agent; and a plurality of core-shell particles. The core-shell particles comprise: a core comprising a ferromagnetic material; and a shell comprising silica treated with an organic sulfur containing compound. The shell is capable of bonding with the polysulfide polymer.

A magnetic assembly structure has a main body and an inserting component. A first receiving slot of the main body receives a first magnetic component, and a second receiving slot of the main body penetrates a main body surface to form a main body opening on the main body surface. An engagement slot of the main body is disposed between the first receiving slot and the second receiving slot, communicated with the second receiving slot, and has a contacting surface being away from the main body surface with a distance. The receiving slot of the inserting component receives a second magnetic component. The inserting component is inserted into the second receiving slot via the main body opening, and the second magnetic component moves into the engagement slot. The magnetic assembly is assembled with a less force, has higher safety, and is hard to be disassembled without allowance or explanations.

Nanostructures having an inorganic core and a lipid layer capable of binding a lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activator such as an apolipoprotein are provided herein. Methods of using the nanostructures and related devices and compositions for assessing the risk of developing a disease or condition or treating the disease or condition are also provided.

Magnet array structure and method for forming magnet array structure that includes a first linear magnet array including a first magnet arrangement, in which the first magnet arrangement is consecutively repeated and a second linear magnet array including a second magnet arrangement, in which the second magnet arrangement is consecutively repeated. The first magnet arrangement includes a plurality of first magnetic elements having non-uniformly dimensioned widths in a length direction of the first magnet arrangement and the second magnet arrangement includes a plurality of second magnetic elements having non-uniformly dimensioned widths in a length direction of the second magnet arrangement. The first linear magnet array is arranged parallel to the second linear magnet array so that the first magnet arrangement is linearly offset from the second magnet arrangement.

A magnet assembly (1) with a cryostat (2) has a superconducting magnet coil system (3), an active cooling device (4) for the coil system, and current leads (5a, 5b) for charging the coil system. The current leads have at least one normal-conducting region (15a, 15b), wherein multiple cold reservoirs (20) are thermally coupled to the current leads along the normal-conducting region thereof, in order to absorb heat the normal-conducting region during charging of the magnet coil system. The current leads have a variable cross-sectional area B in the normal-conducting region along the extension direction thereof, wherein at least over a predominant fraction of their overall length in the normal-conducting region, the cross-sectional area B decreases from a cold end (18a, 18b) toward a warm end (19a, 19b). This provides a magnet assembly requiring reduced cooling power during charging, with less heat introduced into the magnet coil system in normal operation.

Methods and related systems for separating isotopes of an element are provided. The element has at least two isotopic forms. The method includes hyperpolarizing one or more of the isotopic forms in a feedstock, and applying a magnetic field to the target isotopes in order to at least partially spatially separate the isotopic forms of the element from one another.
