Patent number: 7271689Abstract: A magnet structure produces a field within a magnet gap. The field is provided at least in part by a pair of permanent magnets that are fixed in place by a frame. The frame fixes a magnet assembly that is adapted to hold the magnetic material composing the permanent magnets, such that the quantity of the magnetic material can be adjusted to suit the particular application. The magnetic material can be provided in the form of discrete magnetic elements, such as magnetic “bricks”. The frame also functions as the flux collector and return. Accordingly, the general geometry of the magnet structure is fixed, and the amount of magnetic material, and therefore the magnetic field strength, is adjustable.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Fonar CorporationInventors: Gordon Danby, John Jackson, Raymond Damadian, William H. Wahl, Anthony Tenore

Patent number: 6879157Abstract: A ferromagnetic frame for supporting a magnet in a magnetic resonance device used for magnetic resonance studies and a method for making the ferromagnetic frame are disclosed. The ferromagnetic frame includes at least one structural element formed of laminated steel layers. The steel layers are relatively lightweight and easily maneuverable compared to solid steel. The method includes laminating the steel layers together to form each of the components of the ferromagnetic frame and then assembling the frame. The ferromagnetic frame of the invention may be incorporated into a full-room magnetic resonance device, in which case the upper support is the ceiling of the room, the lower support is the floor, and the flux return members are the walls. The invention may be incorporated into pre-existing buildings dues to the maneuverability of the layers.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2004Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Fonar CorporationInventors: Luciano B. Bonanni, Anthony Tenore
