The induction coil sensors (called also search coils, pickup coils or magnetic loop sensors) are described. The design methods of air coils and ferromagnetic core coils are compared and summarized. The frequency properties of the coil sensors are analyzed and various methods of output signal processing are presented. Special kinds of induction sensors, as Rogowski coil, gradiometer sensors, vib...

We propose a method to calculate field maps from the phase of each EPI in an fMRI time series. These field maps can be used to correct the corresponding magnitude images for distortion caused by inhomogeneity in the static magnetic field. In contrast to conventional static distortion correction, in which one 'snapshot' field map is applied to all subsequent fMRI time points, our method also cap...

Inductively Coupled Plasmas (ICPs) can be maintained over a wide range of driving frequencies, from 50 Hz to GHz. We have investigated the specifics of ICP operation at different frequencies which address: a) nonlinear plasma dynamics due to the disparity of time scales for ion transport and electron energy relaxation, b) the absence of time-varying magnetic field in plasma for certain ICP conf...

This study presents a simple design for a mobile, single-sided nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus which uses the magnetic flux parallel to the magnetization direction of a single, disc-shaped permanent magnet polarized in radial direction. The stray magnetic field above the magnet is approximately parallel to the magnetization direction of the magnet and is utilized as the B(0) magnetic...

This study aimed to investigate whether unilateral vestibular neuritis (VN) causes the same deficits of ocular counter-roll during static head roll (OCR(S)) and dynamic vestibulo-ocular reflex gains during head impulses (VOR(HI)) as unilateral vestibular deafferentation (VD). Ten patients with acute and 14 patients with chronic vestibular paralysis after VN were examined. The testing battery in...

Introduction: Essure® device malposition is a rare, but clinically significant complication, for which management is idiosyncratic. This case report describes an unusual example of Essure® migration in order to clarify reasonable management options. Case Presentation: A 50-year old G4P2022 underwent hysteroscopi...

Current design and analysis methods of helical springs are significantly confined to a simple linear domain. The traditional spring formula is only effective for analyzing with geometric properties like constant coil diameter, unchanged pitch no contact. An advanced analytical model proposed in this study address the non-linear effects variable contact that exist arbitrary shapes. It aims expan...
