  • Patent number: 11933865
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance member 1 includes a crystal structure and is capable of electron spin quantum operations with microwaves of different frequencies corresponding to arrangement orientations of a vacancy and an impurity in a crystal lattice. A magnetic field transmission unit 4 senses a measurement target magnetic field at plural measurement positions different from each other, and applies application magnetic fields corresponding to the measurement target magnetic field sensed at the plural measurement positions to the magnetic resonance member 1 along respective different directions corresponding to the aforementioned arrangement orientations. A measurement control unit 21 controls a high frequency power supply 12, and determines detection values detected by a detecting device (an irradiating device 5 and a light receiving device 6) of the physical phenomena corresponding to the plural measurement positions.

  • Patent number: 9265100
    Abstract: In a conventional driving circuit, it has been inefficient and difficult to measure, classify, and rank (Vf) characteristics of a light emitting element that is in a bare-chip state. According to the present invention, a semiconductor-type light source is made of four light emitting chips (41 to 44) that are in a bare-chip state, the light emitting chips being randomly mounted on a board (3) without classifying (Vf) characteristics in advance. As the resistors, opening resistors (R2, R4, R6) and trimming resistors (R1, R3, R5) are disposed in parallel and then are connected in series to the four light emitting chips. Values of the resistors are adjusted so that a predetermined set current value or luminous flux value is reliably obtained with respect to the four light emitting chips. As a result, the present invention is capable of efficiently and easily mounting the four light emitting elements (41 to 44) and the resistors (R1 to R7) on the board (3).
