The disclosure relates to processes for upgrading heavy hydrocarbon oils such as heavy crude oils, atmospheric residuum, vacuum residuum, heavy oils from catalytic treatment, heavy cycle oils from fluid catalytic cracking, thermal tars, as oils from visbreaking, oils from oil sands, bitumen, deasphlter rock, and heavy oils derived from coal. A separation mold surface is located different sides, and a spacer is located between the lenses. The spacer layers in the gap structure are formed of a ferromagnetic material with a high saturation moment density that is close to the BS of the spacer material from which the pole tips are formed. The system interfaces with customer facilities, carrier facilities and legacy signaling networks to handle calls between any combination of on- network and off-network callers.
