  • Patent number: 5239276
    Abstract: A superconductive magnet coil arrangement for generating a homogeneous magnetic field in a volume under examination, comprising a magnet coil having two first windings of a superconductive wire which are disposed adjacent the ends of the magnet coil and which are supported on a hollow supporting body, and comprising further at least one additional winding of a superconductive wire which is arranged in the area between the first windings and which is supported by the supporting body, is characterized by the fact that at least one of the additional windings is arranged on a winding core mounted on the supporting body and the fixation securing the winding against axial displacement occupies an area in length of the winding core shorter than the length of the winding arranged on the winding core. It is achieved in this manner that the pressure produced by Lorentz forces in the supporting body is kept off the rest of the winding.

  • Patent number: 5229738
    Abstract: A magnetic object having a plurality of pole regions of small dimensions and adapted to be molded in a molding device. The object includes a body of a given shape, for instance a cylindrical block or a cylindrical sleeve having an outer diameter smaller than 5 mm, and including alternating north and south poles. The body is made of a mixture of grains of fully magnetized anisotropic permanent magnet material and a hardening binding agent. The grains are reduced from a permanent magnet until all grains are smaller than the smallest dimension of a pole region and in the pole regions at least those grains having a size of the same range of size as the smallest dimension of a pole region are distributed in accordance with the alternating north and south poles.

  • Patent number: 5216401
    Abstract: A permanent magnet having a shell of magnetic material and a hollow cavity. An access port passes through the shell and communicates with the cavity. The shell is permanently magnetized to produce a substantially uniform magnetic field in the cavity. The magnetization of the shell is the resultant of magnetization components M1 and M2. Components M2 are uniform in both magnitude and direction while components M1 are uniform in magnitude and nonuniform in direction. Also, components M1 and M2 are substantially equal in magnitude to each other and, in the regions adjacent the access port, are aligned in opposite directions. The shell comprises a plurality of magnetic segments and each segment is uniformly magnetized. In accordance with one embodiment, the shell and cavity are concentric spheres, and the access port includes an axial hole that passes through the spherical center.

  • Patent number: 5204652
    Abstract: A solenoid valve comprising with a plunger which is readily and accurately adjustable to various heights whereby the solenoid is able to function with virtually all fluid flow control systems. The solenoid includes an elongated base which may have multiple threads to accommodate a variety of connectors and a bleed screw formed to be minimally disruptive to the electromagnetic field. A measurement standard, in the form of a cylinder and piston combination, is shaped to fit within the solenoid body and accurately determine the desired length of the specific plunger. The piston is mounted to move in the cylinder and, in conjunction with the cylinder, to assume the exact length required for the plunger within the solenoid to function correctly in operating the valve. The plunger is adjustable which allows the height thereof to be precisely and securely set to the height determined by the measurement standard.

  • Patent number: 5200728
    Abstract: An improved solenoid wherein the end of the armature within the first coils has a predetermined length of rigid non-magnetizable material secured to it, and a second, electrically energizable coil being energizable in a manner opposite to that of the first coil, being secured to the other end of the length of non-magnetizable material so as to move therewith from a position adjacent the first coil when the arm is in extended position to one space therefrom when the arm is in retracted position. This coil provides magnetic repulsion between the two coils to produce good starting power for the armature when the first coil is energized, as a result of repulsive magnetic forces created between the two coils.

  • Patent number: 5191307
    Abstract: A coil case with a coil receptacle for receiving a coil winding is formed integrally with cover flaps which are swingably joined to either end of the coil receptacle by hinge portions. The coil case has mounting pawls formed thereon. The coil winding is received inside the coil case and the cover flaps are closed, whereby a leakage magnetic field cancellation coil is assembled. The cancellation coil is mounted onto the deflection yoke by engaging the mounting pawls with a part of the deflection yoke. Since the coil case and the cover flaps are formed integrally with each other, the number of component parts is reduced, thereby facilitating manufacture. Further, the size of the cancellation coil is reduced, thereby reducing the material costs, hence, the production costs of the apparatus. Since the cancellation coil can be mounted onto the deflection yoke by a single-step operation utilizing the mounting pawls, the efficiency of the mounting operation is improved.
