Abstract: A cyclotron for ion acceleration is magnetically shielded during ion acceleration by passing electrical current in the same direction through both the first and second superconducting primary coils. A first magnetic-field-shielding coil is on the same side of the mid plane as the first superconducting primary coil, while a second magnetic-field-shielding coil is on the same side of the midplane as the second superconducting primary coil and beyond the outer radius of the second superconducting primary coil. Electrical current is also passed through the magnetic-field-shielding coils in a direction opposite to the direction in which electrical current is passed through the superconducting primary coils and generates a canceling magnetic field that reduces the magnetic field generated at radii from the central axis beyond the magnetic-field-shielding coils.

In addition, the electrode catalyst contains a minimum amount of a platinum group metal for inhibiting the occurrence of carbon deposition and has a maximized surface area. Therefore, the electrode catalyst exhibits improved catalytic activity and can be produced at greatly reduced cost while suppressing the occurrence of carbon deposition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a residual signal inter-channel intra prediction encoding method between a residual signal of a luminance component of an image and a residual signal of a chrominance component thereof. It is possible to improve an intra prediction encoding performance when the inter-channel prediction is performed between residual signal of the luminance component and the chrominance component of HEVC, and derive a prediction coefficient for linear prediction at a high speed while the quadtree block structure of the HEVC is not changed. In addition, it is advantageous to avoid degradation in inter-channel prediction performance, which is caused when quadtree block structures of prediction units (PUs) of the luminance component and the chrominance component are different.

In addition, the method includes, receiving a request message for requesting the same content from another user terminal, and transmitting the content response message including address information of the same surrogate server to another user terminal when the timer value is less than the batching window value. Therefore, since more channels can be assigned to one surrogate server, it is possible to decrease data transmission costs of the surrogate server.
