Patent number: 7631449Abstract: A wristband and clasp for securing the wristband to a person is disclosed. The wristband includes at least one attachment aperture. The clasp includes a folding base having a first triangular section connected to a second triangular section and a hinge connecting the first and second triangular sections. The hinge defines a folding axis that enables the base to be folded so that the first triangular section is positioned adjacent to the second triangular section in an overlapping relationship. A securement aperture is formed in the first triangular section, and a post extends from the second triangular section to couple with the securement aperture when the base is folded along the folding axis. The post extends from the second triangular section through the attachment aperture of the wristband and couples to the securement aperture of the first triangular section so that the clasp is secured to the wristband.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2006Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: The St. John Companies, Inc.Inventors: Robert McDermott, Adam Preisach, Andrew Bishop

Publication number: 20080074113Abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals are detected in microtesla fields. Prepolarization in millitesla fields is followed by detection with an untuned dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. Because the sensitivity of the SQUID is frequency independent, both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution are enhanced by detecting the NMR signal in extremely low magnetic fields, where the NMR lines become very narrow even for grossly inhomogeneous measurement fields. MRI in ultralow magnetic field is based on the NMR at ultralow fields. Gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2007Publication date: March 27, 2008Inventors: John Clarke, Alexander Pines, Robert McDermott, Andreas Trabesinger

Because the sensitivity of the SQUID is frequency independent, both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution are enhanced by detecting the NMR signal in extremely low magnetic fields, where the NMR lines become very narrow even for grossly inhomogeneous measurement fields. Additional signal to noise benefits are obtained by use of a low noise polarization coil, comprising litz wire or superconducting materials. MRI in ultralow magnetic field is based on the NMR at ultralow fields. Gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2004Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: John Clarke, Nathan Kelso, SeungKyun Lee, Michael Moessle, Whittier Myers, Robert McDermott, Bernard ten Haken, Alexander Pines, Andreas Trabesinger
