Abstract: A sensor for sensing an angular position of an instrument relative to a static magnetic field includes a flexible beam, an electromagnetic device, and a measuring device. The beam at one end may be coupled to the instrument, and lies along a sensor axis when the beam is in a non -flexed state. The electromagnetic device is coupled to the beam and is configured for generating a magnetic sensor field aligned with the sensor axis. The measuring device communicates with the beam and is configured for measuring a property of the beam related to an amount of flexure of the beam. The sensor may be utilized to set the instrument at a desired angle prior to operating the instrument, and to determine whether the instrument has deviated from the desired angle during operation. The instrument may include a probe spinning module such as may be utilized in magnetic resonance experiments.

Abstract: A network system providing integration. The network system includes a client computer, a server, a server-side cryptographic function, a PKI-Bridge, a remote access switch, a client-side cryptographic function, a dial-up client, and a custom script dynamically linked library. The server-side cryptographic function is located on the server and provides cryptographic services. The PKI-Bridge provides an interface between the server and the server-side cryptographic function. The remote access switch provides an interface between the client computer and the server. The client-side cryptographic function is located on the client computer and provides cryptographic services. The dial-up client provides dial-up services to access the remote access switch. The custom script dynamically linked library provides an interface between the dial-up client and the client-side cryptographic function.
