  • Publication number: 20020195977
    Abstract: In order to nullify the adverse effect of an external magnetic field on a static magnetic field generated in an MRI system, small-size coils are used to generate a compensation magnetic field. Thus, the component of the static magnetic field to be applied to a magnetic sensor is canceled. The magnetic sensor can therefore detect the external magnetic field highly precisely. A correction current proportional to the external magnetic field detected highly precisely is fed to BO correction coils. Eventually, the external magnetic field that adversely affects the static magnetic field is canceled.

  • Patent number: 6359397
    Abstract: In a deflection yoke for use in a color cathode ray tube receiver, two sets of sextuple pole coils formed of bifilar windings are disposed around the orbits of three electron beams emitted from an electron gun of a cathode ray tube. Horizontal-period parabolic currents produced in a bridge circuit consisting of saturable reactors are caused to flow in such sextuple pole coils. Further the parabolic currents are modulated at the vertical period by the saturable reactor. Then sextuple-pole magnetic fields are generated by the modulated parabolic currents to thereby exert vertical force on the three electron beams, hence realizing proper correction of &Dgr;VCR to consequently optimize the balance between the corners and the center of a screen. Such optimization is conventionally difficult due to some restrictions existing in the winding distribution of a vertical deflection coil and a horizontal deflection coil in relation to convergence and focus of side beams.
