Manipulation of a magnetic state by a spin-polarized current is one of the exciting topics in solid state physics. We succeeded in driving a magnetic domain wall (DW) in magnetic nanowire by an electric current flowing through the wire. Figure 1 (a) shows a schematic illustration of a top view of a sample. One end of the L-shaped wire is connected to a diamond shaped pad which acts as a DW inje...

A method of performing a biplanar intracapsular trochanteric osteotomy with a Gigli saw was designed and tested prospectively in 431 cases of Charnley low friction arthroplasty. Three methods of trochanteric reattachment were tested, and a double cross-over wire with a compression spring was best; this method was successful in 222 out of 226 patients (98.2%), of which half were revision operati...

Introduction: Coring tools have been used effectively on the Moon, but to date no such tools have been used on any other extraterrestrial surface. The lunar experience includes both manual (Apollo) and robotic (Luna) systems. These coring systems were concerned primarily with acquiring samples from depth for return to Earth or for the creation of instrument emplacement holes (e.g., heat probes)...
