A system and method for tracking and controlling access to objects such as keys includes a lockable storage cabinet adapted to receive, store, and dispense objects within transparent security containers. A control computer is operably coupled to the cabinet. Information about objects, such as their weight, an image, or magnetic characteristics, is extracted by sensors when the objects within their containers are dispensed to a user or checked in by a user. This information is compared to a data base of the same information previously extracted for these objects. From the comparison, the connected control computer verifies that the objects present in the security container are the objects expected to be in the security container. If they are not, then theft or tampering is indicated and the computer takes remedial actions such as setting alarms or notifying security personnel.

Disclosed is a method of preparing a micro-structured powder for bonded magnets having high coercivity, which is advantageous in terms of low preparation costs by recycling magnet scraps, simplified mass production, minimal environmental contamination by such a recycling process, and the preparation of stable anisotropic powders having high coercivity. Further, a magnet powder prepared by the above method is provided.

Methods and apparatuses for discriminating matter utilizing dielectrophoresis combined with magnetophoresis. A sample having one or more constituents is injected into an inlet port of a chamber. A carrier medium flow is initiated at the inlet port to establish a flow within the chamber. A dielectrophoretic force is generated to act on the constituents of the sample. A magnetophoretic force is generated to act on the constituents of the sample. The dielectrophoretic force and magnetophoretic forces are balanced to position the constituents within the chamber. The constituents are then collected at one or more outlet ports of the chamber according to the dielectric and magnetic characteristics of the constituents. The constituents may be collected as a function of time-of-exit from the chamber and/or position within the chamber.

A device for determining a location of an interface between a first fluid and second fluid includes a non-mechanical sensor that measures a selected parameter of interest relating to the fluid surrounding the sensor (“the surrounding fluid”) and a processor for processing the sensor measurements. The non-mechanical sensor measures a parameter relating to the surround fluid without physically co-acting with the surrounding fluid. Exemplary parameters such as thermal properties, electrical properties, fluid properties, and magnetic properties can be measured. The processor is programmed to process the sensor measurements to identify one or more characteristics in the measurements that can indicate the nature of the fluid being measured and thereby determine the location of the interface. The determined location can be used to operate a downhole device such as a pump, to provide real-time monitoring of well conditions, to record data for long-term reservoir characterization, or to actuate an alarm.

A magnetic data track used in a magnetic shift register memory system may be fabricated by forming a multilayered stack of alternating dielectric and/or silicon layers. Vias of approximately 10 microns tall with a cross-section on the order of 100 nm×100 nm are etched in this multilayered stack of alternating layers. Vias may be etched form smooth or notched walls. Vias are filled by electroplating layers of alternating types of ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic metals.

A permanent magnet rotating electrical machine capable of conducting a variable speed operation at high output in a wide range from low speed to high speed and improving efficiency and reliability in a wide operating range.

Its basic means is a monolithically bonded construct prepared by monolithically bonding together a rare-earth magnet 2 and a an alloy material that is a high melting point metal or a high specific-tenacity material through the solid phase diffusion bonding by the hot isostatic pressing treatment, and a monolithically bonded construct with an interposal of a thin layer of the high melting point metal between a rare-earth magnet 2 and an alloy material 3, 4 that is a high specific-tenacity material. As a method for the bonding, there is used a hot isostatic pressing treatment method in which a rare-earth An magnet and a high melting-point metal are laminated together, thereby to prepare an object to be treated, then the object is put into a hermetic-type high pressure container having an inner wall portion equipped with a heater, then the object is uniformly pressurized in all directions by a synergistic effect caused by pressure and temperature, while the object is maintained for a certain period of time under a certain pressure and temperature condition in an atmosphere of an inert gas, thereby to monolithically bond the object. With this, it is possible to obtain a bonded construct in which a magnet can monolithically be bonded with another metal member with a high strength, without deteriorating magnetic characteristics, such that the rare-earth magnet's insufficiency in brittleness, rigidity, tenacity and the like is compensated.
