  • Patent number: 7672707
    Abstract: This invention relates to a super-multichannel MEG system comprising sensors produced by printing sensor coils on thin films in positions shifted from each other and by laminating multiple thin-film sensor coils together. Intended for use in a multichannel MEG system comprising a dewar, the sensors are arrayed in the dewar to detect biomagnetism and the Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to detect signals coming from the sensors. These sensors are characterized by the sensor coils being printed on thin films in positions shifted from each other laterally and longitudinally and by their being laminated in the required number.

  • Patent number: 7565809
    Abstract: This invention relates to a circulation type liquid helium recondensation device with a contaminant-purging function capable of vaporizing and removing contaminants deposited on the refiner in the device. Helium gas vaporizing in the liquid helium storage tank 2 is pumped by the circulating pump 7 and refined in the refiner 6. The refiner is provided with heaters and also a discharge circuit on the inflow side. The vaporized contaminants generated when the refiner 6 is heated by the heaters are pumped by the circulating pump 7 or the dedicated purge pump 8 and vented to the atmosphere via said discharge circuit.

  • Patent number: 6829992
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the width of a paper web at a rotary lithographic press and the object of the present invention is to prevent ink or specks of paper from becoming attached to contact parts of a pressing member so as to contaminate the surface of the paper web, and to enable straightforward fitting and removing of a rotatable pressing member. This configuration is therefore provided with one or more pressing members 1 with a plurality of contact members 11 provided integrally in a rotating manner so as to be capable of being mutually separated along the widthwise direction of a paper web W, a support shaft 20 supporting the pressing member(s) 1 in a rotatable manner, wavy surface adjustment means 2 capable of moving the support shaft 20 towards and away from the surface of the paper web W, and pressing member rotation drive means 4 for simultaneously rotating and driving the pressing member 1.

  • Patent number: 6442948
    Abstract: A liquid helium circulation system capable of recycling helium gas has a liquid helium reservoir 1 and refrigerator 5 where helium gas boil-off recovered from the reservoir is refrigerated and liquefied, and is designed to have the helium gas refrigerated or liquefied with the refrigerator returned to the reservoir. The system is equipped with line 9c that supplies high-temperature helium gas heated up inside the liquid helium reservoir to the refrigerator, where the helium gas is made into refrigerated helium gas, and supplies the refrigerated helium gas to the upper part inside the reservoir, lines 9b and 9a that supply low-temperature helium gas in the vicinity to the surface of liquid helium inside the liquid helium reservoir to the refrigerator, where the low-temperature gas is liquefied, and supply the liquefied helium to the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 5938598
    Abstract: A magnetic field source movable type phantom head has a vessel filled with physiologic saline. The vessel preferably has an inner contour corresponding to an outer contour of a cerebrum of a patient to be tested. An electrode support tube has electrodes at one end. The electrodes are arranged within the vessel and movable at least in a vertical direction toward a center of the vessel as guided by a guiding and fixing device which guides the electrode support tube in a liquid tight fashion and fixes at a predetermined position. A position of the electrode support tube is measured to determine a position of the magnetic field source in the vessel.

  • Patent number: 5706811
    Abstract: An apparatus includes the position determining members for determining the relative position between the reference frame and the head utilizing at least the teeth or external acoustic meatuses and the nose of the head, and the placement members for placing the magnetic field generating elements for MEG and the markers for MRI measurement at the predetermined reference positions on the head by operating the positioning mechanism movably provided on the reference frame. Thus, the reference points for MRI measurement and MEG can be precisely set at the same position with relatively simple operation.

  • Patent number: 4772114
    Abstract: In a dynamic optometer, a variation in the direction of a subject's eye, namely, in the direction of gaze is measured by a direction detector to tilt a bi-axial rocking mirror according to the output of the detector, and an actual image of an eyeball formed by a pair of concave spherical mirrors is reflected to an optical system by the rocking mirror varying the direction of incidence. A second actual image which is formed immediately before a light source by the optical system is stably fixated in one direction, so that the eye is irradiated with light constantly from the front side in spite of eye movements. Accordingly, the refractive power can be measured, unaffected by the movement of an eyeball.
