  • Patent number: 7365623
    Abstract: The present invention provides a permanent magnet, comprising a cylinder formed with a permanent magnetic material. The cylinder comprises along a radial direction, a magnetic core and a magnetic sheath that are coaxial. The magnetic core is assembled in the magnetic sheath. The magnetization direction of the magnetic core is axial direction, and the magnetization direction of the magnetic sheath changes step by step from a direction which is parallel to the magnetization direction of the magnetic core in one end to a direction which is orthogonal to the magnetization direction of the magnetic core in the other end, along the axial direction of the cylinder. Moreover, a magnetic device for use in MRI using the magnet and manufacturing methods for the permanent magnet and the magnetic device are also provided in the present invention. With the permanent magnet, magnetization strength in the working area generated by the magnetic device for use in MRI can amount to more than 0.5-0.6 T.

  • Patent number: 7323962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the magnetic apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging system and method for forming uniform magnetic field. The magnetic apparatus comprises a field yoke for forming flux path, a first member of permanent magnet, provided on one end of the field yoke, free end of which is inclined inwardly, a second member of permanent magnet, provided on the other end of the field yoke in symmetry with the first member of permanent magnet, having reverse polarity with the first member of permanent magnet, an adjusting block, provided on the center of the field yoke for extruding magnetic field formed by the first and second members of permanent magnet. The adjusting block in the present invention can form a magnetic field for adjusting to extrude the basic magnetic field in order to provide a parallel magnetic field. The present invention can be applied in the MRI system and make the system have a high open degree for operations. The MRI system can be made compact, movable and inexpensive.

  • Publication number: 20030185677
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a leakageless water pump in which the rotation of the motor is transmitted to the impeller by means of a pair of plates on which magnets are equipped. A partition is mounted in the casing of the pump to separate the pair of blades with each other. One one side of the partition is the rotating axle on which one of the pair of plates is fixed. On the other side of the partition is a stationary axle on which the other plate integral with the impeller is freely rotatable supported. The pump can be used in a car to eliminate the leakage of the water and to prolong the life of the pump.
