Even if birth-control pills were economical, it would be an uphill battle to train peasant women in their regular use. These days, the government is relying instead on the cheaper intrauterine plastic loop. Though it is about the simplest and most economical contraceptive available to India, the coil-shaped device has given rise to a host of rumors, one of them a report that it gives the husband an electric shock. More than 1,000,000 women have been fitted with the loops at clinics. Another 1,780,000 Indians have voluntarily undergone sterilization (for payments of less than...

From these preliminary experiments, he devised a method of administering anesthesia by attaching a coil to two major blood vessels of dogs. Blood would flow through the coil and past a silicone tube filled with ether...
Because the rate the ether passes through the silicone tubing can be measured, the size of the anesthetic dose can be controlled by the thickness of the tubing used. For use on human beings, the coil would probably be attached to the patients wrist...
Tingling Sensation. Under Way's guidance, and with about $1,600 worth of storage batteries, the electromagnetic coil, aluminum tubing and fiberglass reinforced plastic paid for by the university, the engineering seniors completed the EM51 during the spring semester. They successfully demonstrated it for the first time this June. Subsequent experiments uncovered a few problems, though none seem impossible of solving in the construction of a full-scale sub. Electric current passing through the water between the electrodes produces some electrolysis; molecules of water break down into hydrogen and oxygen, which rises to the surface in the form...
