  • Superconducting coil and manufacturing method thereof
    Patent number: 5708405
    Abstract: A superconducting coil bas a winding wire portion which is formed by winding a superconducting wire covered with an insulating material around a winding frame composed of such a material that its modulus of longitudinal elasticity is 50 (GPa) or greater, and its thermal contraction rate between a room temperature and a temperature of 77 (K) is 0.35% or above while applying a tensile force thereto, and a bonding material impregnated between the superconducting wires and is then solidified by a heat treatment to reduce a contact surface pressure between the winding wire portion and the winding frame, preventing transition to a normal conductive state.
    Type: Grant

  • Magnetostatic field generating magnet for use in an MRI system having an active magnetic shield
    Patent number: 5633587
    Abstract: A magnetostatic field generating magnet includes small-diameter coils for generating a low-order magnetic component, a large-diameter coil for generating a high-order magnetic component, a first coil assembly for generating in a predetermined area a main magnetic field obtained by both the low- and high-order magnetic components, and a second coil assembly for generating a shield magnetic field for actively shielding a magnetic field leaking from the main magnetic field.
