Answer to Question 1

A wound rotor is made of coils in which current is supplied through slip rings and brushes to form an electromagnet; a squirrel cage rotor is made of laminated segments and its magnetic field is created by induction.

Answer to Question 2

The exciter can be mounted externally and supply current through slip rings or the exciter can be a rotating armature type exciter that is mounted on the same shaft as the main rotor field and supplies current to the main rotor through rectifying diodes

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
