Abstract: A pair of cores (2, 3) are arranged such that first end portions thereof face to each other with a predetermined gap (G) via a conveying path through which a medium (10) passes. Coils (4a, 4b) wound at the first end portions of the cores, respectively, are connected in series to each other, thereby constituting a first coil. Coils (5a, 5b) wound at second end portions on a side opposite to the first end portions are connected in series to each other, thereby constituting a second coil. An exciting coil generates a detection magnetic field passing the pair of cores and the gap (G), and a convergent magnetic field generating unit generates, in the gap, a convergent magnetic field for converging the detection magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the first end portions of the pair of cores are connected to each other.

Abstract: An illuminator and surgical illumination system are disclosed, one embodiment of the surgical illumination system comprising: a light source for providing a light beam; an optical cable, optically coupled to the light source for receiving and transmitting the light beam; a handpiece operably coupled to the optical cable; an optical fiber assembly operably coupled to the handpiece, wherein the optical fiber assembly is optically coupled to the optical cable to receive and transmit the light beam and wherein the optical fiber assembly comprises a plurality of fiber guides, wherein each fiber guide comprises a cladding having one or more fiber cores for transmitting and scattering the light beam to illuminate the surgical field, and a cannula, operably coupled to the handpiece for housing and directing the optical fiber assembly. The surgical illumination system can further comprise a separator operable to maintain a spacing between the fiber guides. The optical fiber assembly, the cannula, and the handpiece can be fabricated from biocompatible materials. The optical fiber assembly can be operably coupled to the handpiece to enable linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly within the cannula. The handpiece can include an adjustment means, such as a push/pull mechanism, for adjusting the linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly. Other adjusting means as known to those in the art can also be used including, for example, a mechanical coupling, an electrical coupling, a magnetic coupling, a pneumatic coupling or any combination thereof. The distal end of the optical fiber assembly can be coincident with an open aperture of the cannula. Adjusting the linear displacement via the adjusting means can thus cause the optical fiber assembly to exit the open aperture by an amount corresponding to the change in linear displacement (a reverse adjustment can retract the optical fiber assembly). Further, a separator can be positioned between the fiber guides in such a way that the fiber guides can be uniformly displaced outward from one another by an amount proportional to the change in linear displacement from the distal end of the cannula.

Abstract: Managing content by influencing its distribution in the form of blocks or other units is crucial to the performance of a peer-to-peer content distribution system. We provide a content management module at each peer node to achieve this. The content management module implements a content request/response cycle in order to negotiate about blocks of content with other peer nodes. This cycle comprises an offer request, offer reply and a block request. These steps are preferably followed by data exchange and verification. The negotiation protocol used by our content management module provides a generic method that is advantageously used in conjunction with different encoding schemes such as full network coding and group network coding. In one embodiment we use group network coding and add information to the offer request and offer reply to facilitate efficient content distribution. In addition, block request messages are selected to promote the use of on-the-fly decoding where possible.

Abstract: In the presence of certain polyols, a guar gum or similar polysaccharide thickener solution is boron crosslinked before achievement of complete hydration of the thickener, without compromising the viscosity level achieved in a fracturing fluid by the time it is pumped into the wellbore and fractures the subterranean formation adjacent the wellbore. Methods continuously involve hydrating a polysaccharide thickener to an extent of 10% to 75%, but less than full hydration. Before 75% hydration is exceeded, a boron crosslinker is added. Upon addition of the boron crosslinker, the fluid is injected into the wellbore to stimulate hydrocarbon production. Because less time is needed for hydration, well site mixing equipment is down-sized smaller to achieve better efficiency and cost savings.
