Publication number: 20240157167Abstract: Magnetic particle actuating systems may include a magnet system configured to generate a magnetic field that includes a field-free region. A corresponding control system can be configured to control the magnet system to create a field-free region at least partially matching a target region. An excitation system can be configured to generate an excitation field to cause actuation of magnetic nanoparticles in an actuation region.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Magnetic Insight, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Westbook Hensley, Matthias Weber, Elaine Yuiyi Yu, Robert Blayne Kettlewell, Kyle David Fields, Patrick William Goodwill
